  • Cancer treatment and catheter for use in treatment
    Patent number: 5411479
    Abstract: Perfusing a high concentration of an agent to treat an organ, such as anti-cancer agents through a body organ containing a tumor, without their entering the body's general circulation, removing them from the organ with effluent blood and transporting the contaminated blood to an extracorporeal circuit where the blood is treated to remove the contamination, and returning the treated blood to the body. The process prevents toxic levels of the agents from entering the body's general circulation while delivering lethal doses of the agents to the tumor. There are described various apparatus for effecting the intra- and extracorporeal treatment of such contaminated blood.
