Patients with unresectable cutaneous and soft tissue malignancies confined to a limb have many treatment options. Isolated limb infusion (ILI) is one therapeutic option whereby the extremity is isolated and perfused with high-dose chemotherapy through a percutaneously placed catheter-based procedure. A detailed description of the ILI protocol at the Moffitt Cancer Center is given. We have shown that ILI is a safe and effective treatment strategy for malignancies confined to an extremity.
