Core Tip
Core tip: We analyzed the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of continuous hepatic arterial infusion of oxaliplatin and raltitrexed to aid interventional radiologist in determining a more accurate infusion protocol. The clinical protocol based on the pharmacokinetics study in a swine model and the pharmacodynamics study in tumor cell lines was shown to be effective and safe in hepatocellular carcinoma with main portal vein tumor thrombus.
