[Introduction of Hyperthermia Therapy with Low Dose Systemic Chemotherapy and Hepatic Transarterial Chemo-Embolization for a Case of Advanced Prostatic Cancer].

The case of a 78-year-old man with hormone-independent locally advanced prostatic cancer with liver metastases is reported. Standard systemic chemotherapy was not administered due to his poor general condition. At the initial consultation, rapidly growing liver metastases, multiple lymph node metastases, and extensive locally advanced prostatic lesions were found.

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization with spherical embolic material for locally advanced breast cancer: first report of HepaSphere™ treatment for primary breast cancer.

A 57-year-old female was diagnosed as having primary breast cancer (invasive carcinoma of no special type), which was immunohistochemically negative for oestrogen receptor, androgen receptor and human epidermal growth factor receptor Type 2. The main tumour was 54 × 35 mm in size and was located in the internal upper area of the left breast. The tumour had markedly invaded the skin and a daughter nodule was observed in the external upper area of the ipsilateral breast.
