The clinical efficacy of intraarterial neoadjuvant chemotherapy with MTX, ADR and CDDP in 88 patients with advanced bladder cancer (> or = T2 or TCC G3) was evaluated. The intraarterial chemotherapy was performed using Seldinger's method. The three drugs were administered at the same time among 60 patients. In sixteen patients MTX was administered intravenously before intraarterial infusion of ADR and CDDP. In twelve patients, a high dose of CDDP (more than 100 mg/m2) was administered. The mean regression rate was 70%. That of the high-dose CDDP group was rather superior to the other two groups. However, the adverse reaction and duration of recovery were inferior to those of the other two groups. When intraarterial chemotherapy is performed as a neoadjuvant chemotherapy, care must be taken to determine the suitable dose.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate liver function changes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients treated with transcatheter intra-arterial therapy plus molecular targeted agents and programmed cell death-1 (ligand-1) inhibitors, and evaluate the prognostic significance of the combination of Child-Pugh (CP) class and albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade (CP/ALBI).
Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total of 149 patients from 2019 to 2023 in China were included.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of local intra-arterial chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of unresectable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of eight patients diagnosed with unresectable HNSCC at our hospital from January to December 2023. All patients were diagnosed by pathological diagnosis and treated with intra-arterial chemotherapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Background: Newly diagnosed glioblastoma (ndGBM) remains one of the most challenging malignancies to treat. Since the majority of patients experience tumor recurrence (rGBM) after first-line therapy, advancements in both initial and salvage treatments are essential.
Objective: We report our single-center experience on the feasibility and safety of superselective intra-arterial cerebral infusion (SIACI) with bevacizumab or cetuximab after osmotic blood-brain barrier disruption (oBBBd).

Background: Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) is a growing method of therapy for retinoblastoma (Rb). There is an absence of data to support the safety of catheterization with intra-arterial infusion in this pediatric population OBJECTIVE: To focus on the non-ocular catheter/procedural-related complications that our practice has experienced in order to lay a foundation for practices interested in performing these procedures and hopefully, to help prevent them from occurring.
Methods: This is a retrospective review of the patient population with Rb treated in our center from May 2006 through May 2024.
