Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Oxaliplatin
Subjects who are planning to undergo surgery for placement of HAI therapy pump will be considered for enrollment. Standard HAI therapy requires a laparotomy and placement of an intrahepatic arterial catheter that is connected to one of several commercially available subcutaneous electronic pumps. The pump is then used to deliver FUDR and Leucovorin directly to the liver, usually beginning four weeks after surgery and lasts on average for a period of six to twelve months after the study. This study will examine the addition of a one hour isolated hepatic perfusion with oxaliplatin to this standard treatment
Oxaliplatin
The starting dose of oxaliplatin administered via isolated hepatic perfusion will be the safe tolerated dose of intra-arterial infusion and pharmacokinetics from intravenous studies. The dose will be 5 mg/m2 and will be escalated.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Histologically or cytologically proven measurable metastatic colorectal cancer limited to the parenchyma of the liver with no evidence of unresectable extrahepatic disease by preoperative radiological studies. Limited resectable extrahepatic disease is acceptable.
* No chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or biologic therapy for their malignancy in the 4 weeks prior to the liver perfusion and must have recovered from all side effects.
* An ECOG performance standard of 0, 1 or 2 for 24 hours prior to surgery.
* Adequate hepatic function as evidenced by bilirubin \< 2.0 mg/dL and a PT \< 2 seconds greater than the upper limit of normal.
* Age equal to 18 years or older and greater than 30 kg.
* Platelet counts greater than 100,000, a hematocrit \> 27.0, a white blood count \> 3000/microliter, and a creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dL or a creatinine clearance of \> 60 mL/min. Patients with elevations in hepatic transaminases secondary to the presence of metastatic disease in the liver are eligible.
* Aware of the neoplastic nature of his/her illness, the experimental nature of the therapy, alternative treatments, potential benefits, and risks and willing to sign an informed consent.
* The disease in the liver must be considered unresectable as defined by greater than three sites of disease in the liver, bilobar disease, and tumor abutting major vascular or ductal structures making anatomic resection with preservation of liver function impossible.
Exclusion Criteria
* Patients taking immunosuppressive drugs or on chronic anticoagulation will not be eligible.
* Patients with active infections are not eligible.
* Patients with biopsy proven cirrhosis or evidence of significant portal hypertension manifested by ascites, esophageal varices on endoscopy, or radiologic studies showing significant collateral vessels around the organs drained by the portal venous system will be excluded.
* Patients with ischemic cardiac disease or history of congestive heart failure with an LVEF \< 40% will be excluded.
* Patients with COPD or other chronic pulmonary disease with PFT's indicating an FEV\< 50% predicted for age will be excluded.
* Patients with a history of veno-occlusive disease of the liver are ineligible.
