Hepatic Artery Infusional Floxuridine to Treat Pancreatic Cancer Liver Metastases

Together the FUDR and the HAI pump are experimental because they are being used to treat hepatic liver metastases of Pancreatic adenocarcinoma. They have not yet been FDA approved for this indication, although they are both approved for other indications. The intervention is surgical placement of an HAI pump with subsequent delivery of FUDR via the pump in 28-day cycles. FUDR will be delivered via the HAI pump for 6 months, in 28 day cycles: 2 weeks of therapy, followed by 2 weeks of heparinized saline.
