Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Giving drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE This phase II trial is studying how well isolated hepatic perfusion with melphalan works in treating patients with primary unresectable liver cancer or liver metastases
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine response rate duration of response and patterns of recurrence in patients with primary or metastatic unresectable cancers of the liver after treatment with isolated hepatic perfusion with melphalan
Determine the disease-free and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE Patients who are otherwise eligible undergo an exploratory laparotomy of the peritoneal cavity Patients with peritoneal seeding unresectable extrahepatic metastases or unresectable pathologically-involved lymph nodes outside area of portahepatis do not receive treatment Remaining patients receive isolated hepatic perfusion with melphalan Liver perfusion proceeds for 1 hour

Patients are followed at 6 weeks every 3 months for 2 years and then every 4 months until disease progression

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 67 patients will be accrued for this study
