Since 1995, 8 patients with unresectable carcinoma of pancreatic body and tail has been treated by regional chemotherapy. 5-Fu and MMC were administered through a subcutaneous placed drug pump connecting to the splenic artery catheler. Twelve patients with unresectable pancreatic carcinoma being treated by peripheral venous chemotherapy were as control. The results showed that median survival time with regional chemotherapy with drug pump group as 7.0 months, and the time of peripheral venous chemotherapy group as 4.2 months. The difference between them was significant. This therapy was effective to prolong survival time of patients with unresectable pancreatic carcinoma.
