Eight patients with locally extensive colorectal cancer were treated with colloidal P-32 chromic phosphate via the superior mesenteric artery following resection to prevent development of liver metastases. Less than 2% of the injected dose was found in the right atrial blood following the first pass through the liver and less than 1% in the urine. Therapy was tolerated well by all patients, with no acute complications. Long-term follow-up is needed to determine the effect of P-32 on the liver and the frequency of hepatic metastases.
