Abstract
Hepatic arterial infusion pump (HAIP) chemotherapy
with floxuridine has been explored as a means to control cancer
in the liver. In this systematic review (https://doi.org/10.1245/
s10434-022-11439-x), 478 patients with unresectable intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) were identified from nine
studies; survival outcomes of 154 patients were used in the
meta-analysis. HAIP chemotherapy with floxuridine for
patients with unresectable iCCA was associated with a pooled
3-year overall survival (OS) of 39.5% (95% confidence interval
(CI) 31.5–47.4%) and a weighted median OS of 29.0 months
(range 25.0–39 months).
