Exposed to endovascular chemotherapy were twenty patients with inoperable primary carcinoma of the liver. There was an instant rise in the posttreatment versus basal clinical-and-biochemical indices and their direct correspondence with the functional stage of the primary disease in the liver. The improvement in severity of the condition was more poor in stage III patients. The further the progression of the functional stage, the higher were efficacies of the therapies applied. The author considers it expediant that in functional stage II and III patients, chemotherapy be combined with detoxication therapy. Early correction of the functional condition of the liver will, we believe, help in improving results of the treatments administered.
