    Massive chemo dose targets cancerous liver (AP)

    William Darker of Imperial Beach, Calif., prepares to undergo a unique cancer treatment that uses ultra-high doses of chemotherapy that are isolated to the liver, at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., Tuesday, March 24, 2009.

Blood exposed to the drugs is drained out of the body, filtered, then tubed back in. The chemo only hits the liver and nowhere else.   (AP Photo/J.  Scott Applewhite)AP - Bill Darker grinned as he headed into the operating room for a dramatic experiment: A super-high dose of chemotherapy dripped directly into his cancer-ridden liver, 10 times more than patients normally can tolerate.
