Abstract
Liver metastases from carcinoid tumors are usu-ally diffuse at the time of diagnosis, and surgical resection is rarely feasible. The development and clinical application of an analog of soma-tostatin has provided a novel and frequently highly effective tool for control of carcinoid tu-mors; most patients however, become resistant to this therapy. Arterial hypervascularization of most liver metastases from carcinoid tumor ar-gues in favor of hepatic arterial chemoemboliza-tion. We report here a patient with carcinoid tu-mor with liver metastasis who has substantial tumor regression with hepatic artery chemoem-bolization
