Background. The mainstay of treatment for advanced ovarian cancer is debulking surgery followed by chemotherapy that includes carboplatin and paclitaxel, but the prognosis is poor. This study is aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS+HIPEC) as first-line surgical treatment in patients with advanced ovarian cancer (AOC). Methods. FIGO stage III/IV AOC patients underwent CRS+HIPEC as first-line surgical treatment at our center from December 2007 to January 2020. The primary endpoint was survival, and the secondary endpoint was safety. Results. Among 100 patients, the median Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score was 80 (50-100), median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 19 (1-39), median completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score was 1 (0-3), number of organ regions removed was 4 (3-9), number of peritoneal regions removed was 4 (1-9), and number of anastomoses was 1 (0-4). The median follow-up was 36.8 months; 75 (75.0%) patients were still alive, and 25 (25.0%) had died. The median overall survival (mOS) was 87.6 (95% CI: 72.1-103.0) months, and the 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year survival rates were 94.1%, 77.2%, 68.2%, 64.2%, and 64.2%, respectively. Univariate analysis showed that better mOS correlated with an age ≤, KPS ≥ 80 , ascites ≤ 1000  ml, PCI < 19 , and CC score 0-1. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that CC was an independent factor for OS; patients who underwent CRS with a CC score 0-1 had a mPFS of 67.8 (95% CI: 48.3-87.4) months. The perioperative serious adverse event and morbidity rates were 4.0% and 2.0%, respectively. Conclusions. CRS+HIPEC improves survival for AOC patients with acceptable safety at experienced high-volume centers. Stringent patient selection and complete CRS are key factors for better survival.

AbstractPeritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer (PM-CRC) is used to be considered a systemic and fatal condition; however, it has been growingly accepted that PM-CRC can still be local disease rather than systemic disease as analogous to liver or lung metastasis.Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is now considered an optimal treatment for PM-CRC with accumulating evidence. There is a good reason that CRS + HIPEC, widely accepted as a standard of care for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), could be a viable option for PM-CRC given a similarity between PM-CRC and PMP.Recent years have also seen that modern systemic chemotherapy with or without molecular targeted agents can be effective for PM-CRC. It is possible that neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy combined with CRS + HIPEC could further improve outcomes.Patient selection, utilizing modern images and increasingly laparoscopy, is crucial. Particularly, diagnostic laparoscopy is likely to play a significant role in predicting the likelihood of achieving complete cytoreduction and assessing the peritoneal cancer index score.

e16280 Background: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is the main treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC).However, It is still a major problem to predict the efficacy of HIPEC. Some studies have shown that peritoneal cancer index (PCI) can be used to predict the efficacy of HIPEC, but the invasiveness and inaccuracy are shortcomings. Therefore, we need a minimally invasive and accurate prediction biomarker. Many studies have confirmed that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can accurately predict the efficacy and prognosis of various solid tumors. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of ctDNA from ascites and plasma for HIPEC. Methods: Eligible PC patients should be defintive diagnosed by pathology or cytology. Each patient was treated with HIPEC for 4 times, with an interval of 3 days each time. Plasma and ascites samples were collected before HIPEC and after the last HIPEC. All samples were detected by next generation sequencing (NGS). The molecular tumor burden index (mTBI) and main clone variant allele fraction (VAF) changes were used as the prediction indexes of efficacy. In addition, The changes of common tumor markers such as CEA during the same period were used as controls. Results: A total of 19 patients with PC were enrolled from November 2018 to January 2020. Firstly, the mTBI changes of 14 patients whom had plasma samples at two time points (baseline and postHIPEC)were analyzed. Among them, 3 patients had no gene mutation were detected in two time points. There were significant differences in mTBI before and after HIPEC in the remaining 11 patients (Wilcoxon, p = 0.026). the median Ascites progression free survival (PFS) was 3.35 months (95% CI: 2.34 – 5.13 months), and the median overall survival (OS) was 5.93 months (95% CI: 4.93 – 11.17 months). The mTBI decline was significantly positively correlated with ascites PFS (Spearman r = 0.673, p = 0.023) and moderately positively correlated with OS (Spearman r = 0.510, p = 0.109). The highest VAF in plasma samples was defined as the main clone mutation. The main clone VAF decline was moderately positively correlated with ascites PFS (Spearman r = 0.588, p = 0.057) and slightly positively correlated with OS (Spearman r = 0.386, p = 0.241). As the controls, We found that the common tumor markers decline was no correlated with ascites PFS(Spearman r = 0.091, p = 0.790) and OS (Spearman r = 0.287, p = 0.396). We further analyzed the correlation of VAF between ascites and plasma co-mutation genes in 12 patients. The VAF of co-mutated genes in plasma and ascites was positively correlated (Spearman r = 0.794, p = 0.001). Conclusions: Plasma ctDNA can be used as a biomarker for predicting the efficacy of HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis, and its accuracy is significantly higher than comon tumor markers. However, a larger sample size study are needed to validate our results.

PURPOSE Gastric cancer (GC) with peritoneal metastases (PMs) is a poor prognostic evolution. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) yields promising results, but the impact of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) remains controversial. Here we aimed to compare outcomes between CRS-HIPEC versus CRS alone (CRSa) among patients with PMs from GC. PATIENTS AND METHODS From prospective databases, we identified 277 patients with PMs from GC who were treated with complete CRS with curative intent (no residual nodules > 2.5 mm) at 19 French centers from 1989 to 2014. Of these patients, 180 underwent CRS-HIPEC and 97 CRSa. Tumor burden was assessed using the peritoneal cancer index. A Cox proportional hazards regression model with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity score was used to assess the effect of HIPEC and account for confounding factors. RESULTS After IPTW adjustment, the groups were similar, except that median peritoneal cancer index remained higher in the CRS-HIPEC group (6 v 2; P = .003). CRS-HIPEC improved overall survival (OS) in both crude and IPTW models. Upon IPTW analysis, in CRS-HIPEC and CRSa groups, median OS was 18.8 versus 12.1 months, 3- and 5-year OS rates were 26.21% and 19.87% versus 10.82% and 6.43% (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.86; P = .005), and 3- and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 20.40% and 17.05% versus 5.87% and 3.76% ( P = .001), respectively; the groups did not differ regarding 90-day mortality (7.4% v 10.1%, respectively; P = .820) or major complication rate (53.7% v 55.3%, respectively; P = .496). CONCLUSION Compared with CRSa, CRS-HIPEC improved OS and recurrence-free survival, without additional morbidity or mortality. When complete CRS is possible, CRS-HIPEC may be considered a valuable therapy for strictly selected patients with limited PMs from GC.

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) has improved outcomes for selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and often requires ostomy creation. We examined the impact of ostomy creation in a newly established peritoneal malignancy program. A retrospective review was performed of CRS-HIPEC procedures from 2011 to 2016. Those who did and did not receive an ostomy were compared. Fifty-eight patients underwent CRS-HIPEC and an ostomy was created in 25.9 per cent. Median peritoneal cancer index (14 vs 16, P = 0.63) and multivisceral resection rates (87.9 vs 100.0%, P = 0.17) were similar between groups. Multivariable analysis revealed that bowel resection (OR 210.65, P = 0.02) was significantly associated with ostomy creation. Advanced age was noted to be inversely associated with stoma formation (OR 0.04, P = 0.04). Progression-free survival was significantly lower in the ostomy group (18 vs 23 months, P = 0.03). Those with an ostomy experienced prolonged length of stay (13.3 ± 7.4 vs 9.5 ± 3.7, P = 0.01). At follow-up, 6/10 temporary ostomies had undergone reversal and three patients experienced morbidity after reversal. Ostomy creation may occur during CRS-HIPEC and carries potential for morbidity. Ostomy creation may contribute to postoperative length of stay. Patients should be counseled preoperatively on the potential impact of ostomy placement during CRS-HIPEC.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) has been traditionally considered a terminal disease with median survivals reported in the literature of 6 to 12 months. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are playing an ever increasing role in the treatment of these patients. Excellent results have been achieved in well-selected patients but there is a very steep learning curve when starting a new program. A program for peritoneal surface malignancies in which patients with PC of gastrointestinal or gynecological origin were treated using multi-modality therapy with combinations of systemic therapy, cytoreductive surgery (CRS), and HIPEC was initiated in December 2007 at “Hospital Regional de Alta Especialidad de Oaxaca,” Mexico. We present the results of our initial experience. From December 2007 to February 2011, 26 patients were treated with CRS and HIPEC. There were 21 female patients. Most common indication (46%) was recurrent ovarian cancer. Mean duration of surgery was 260 minutes. Mean Peritoneal Cancer Index was 9. Twenty-three (88.5%) patients had a complete cytoreduction. Major morbidity and mortality rates were 19.5 and 3.8 per cent, respectively. Mean hospital stay was 8 days. At a mean follow-up of 20 months, median survival has not been reached. Rigorous preoperative workup, strict selection criteria, and mentoring from an experienced cytoreductive surgeon are mandatory and extremely important when starting a center for PC.
