Despite immunotherapy and targeted therapies, have significantly improved patients expectations, effective approach to non-resect able liver metastatic melanomas remains a major challenge in interdisciplinary oncology. Patients with liver metastases usually die of their disease, mostly due to acquired resistances to systemic drugs and to persistence of micro-metastatic clones.

Recently, whole organ-focused strategies had been proposed in order to extend patient’s benefits addressing those complains. In particular, liver chemoperfusion with Delcath CHEMOSAT® product (CS-HDS) is designed to perfuse the entire liver with a chemotherapeutic agent (melphalan hydrochloride), with simultaneous extra-corporeal filtration of the hepatic venous blood, in order to re... view moreĀ»
