Abstract
The aim of regional treatment of cancer is to achieve increased tumor drug exposure, resulting in elevated response rates with reduced systemic toxicity [12]. Various forms of permanent or temporary central and peripheral artery occlusion are used to induce hypoxemia resulting in tumor retardation [3,18]. However, procedures like hepatic artery ligation or embolization with nondegradable material induce rapid formation of collaterals [2].
