If the irradiated volume of normal liver tissue is reduced down to approximately 100 mL or less, the tolerated doses are much higher—in principle, without any upper limit with respect to the clinical end points mentioned. Additionally, the different radiobiologic effects of a single high-dose fraction to the tissue compared with fractionized strategies has to be considered. It is well known that healthy tissue tolerates larger doses applied in multiple fractions. The options for the irradiated liver tissue are either destruction or recovery to normal liver function.
Chemotherapy is related to exposure of the tumors within the peritoneal cavity to the higher concentrations of antineoplastic agents for longer periods that can be achieved with systemic drug administration. The antitumor effect is dependent on duration of exposure and on the drug concentration in contact with the tumor. As with other nonhepatic regional therapies, it is important that the drug does not need hepatic metabolism to its active form. Also, high molecular weight improves dwelling time and thus local anticancer effects.
