There is preliminary evidence from experience in the treatment of various abdominal malignancies that intraperitoneal chemotherapy alone or combined with hyperthermia may attain a role in the therapeutic strategy. This paper considers the rationale for such an approach, as well as its current results and potential indications in patients with gastric cancer. The literature is critically reviewed, with special emphasis on specific topics such as patterns of tumor spread, mechanisms of local recurrence, the rationale for intraperitoneal chemotherapy and intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy, toxicity, and results from non-controlled as well as randomized clinical trials in patients with gastric cancer. There is some evidence that intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy has a favorable effect on clinical outcome in patients with limited peritoneal carcinomatosis or malignant ascitis and in those at risk of future peritoneal spread, such as patients with pT3-pT4 cancers or with positive cytology of the peritoneal fluid. Hyperthermic chemotherapy should be considered a promising approach in limited or impending peritoneal carcinomatosis, and should be included in the multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer.

Background. Peritoneal cancer treatment aims to prolong survival, but preserving Quality of Life (QoL) under treatment is also a priority. Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a novel minimally invasive repeatable treatment modality. The aim of the present study was to assess QoL in our cohort of PIPAC patients. Methods. Analysis of all consecutive patients included from the start of PIPAC program (January 2015). QoL (0–100: optimal) and symptoms (no symptom: 0–100) were measured prospectively before and after every PIPAC procedure using EORTC QLQ-C30. Results. Forty-two patients (M : F = 8 : 34, median age 66 (59–73) years) had 91 PIPAC procedures in total (1 : 4x, 17 : 3x, 12 : 2x, and 12 : 1x). Before first PIPAC, baseline QoL was measured as median of 66±2.64. Prominent complaints were fatigue (32±4.3) and digestive symptoms as diarrhea (17±3.75), constipation (17±4.13), and nausea (7±2.54). Overall Quality of Life was 64±3.75 after PIPAC#1 (p=0.57), 61±4.76 after PIPAC#2 (p=0.89), and 70±6.67 after PIPAC#3 (p=0.58). Fatigue symptom score was 44±4.86 after PIPAC#1 and 47±6.69 and 34±7.85 after second and third applications, respectively (p=0.40). Diarrhea (p=0.31), constipation (p=0.76), and nausea (p=0.66) did not change significantly under PIPAC treatment. Conclusion. PIPAC treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis had no negative impact on patients’ overall QoL and its components or on main symptoms. This study was registered online on Research Registry (UIN: 1608).

AbstractBackgroundPeritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a common endpoint in both gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal cancers, and PC is treated as other systemic metastases – unfortunately with disappointing results and considerable side-effects. Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a new method of applying traditional chemotherapy, and preliminary data indicate that PIPAC is safe, able to stabilize or improve quality of life, and can induce an objectively measurable reduction in disease burden in PC.MethodsPIPAC-OPC2 is a prospectively controlled Phase II, single center, one-arm, open-label clinical trial investigating the treatment effect of PIPAC in patients with histological or cytological proven PC from gastrointestinal, ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer. Eligible patients will receive PIPAC in series of three using a combination of doxorubicin (1.5 mg/m2) and cisplatin (7.5 mg/m2) for non-colorectal cancer patients (PIPAC C/D), and oxaliplatin (92 mg/m2) in patients with PC of colorectal origin (PIPAC OX). Patients are monitored by: (1) repeated measurements of the Peritoneal Regression Grading Score (PRGS) in biopsies obtained from metal clips marked areas, (2) Quality-of-Life (QoL) questionnaires, (3) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and (4) Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI). Adverse events and surgical complications will be recorded according to the 30 days definition.ResultsThe primary outcome of PIPAC-OPC2 is to evaluate if PIPAC can induce major or complete response (PRGS 1 or 2) within a series of three PIPAC procedures. Secondarily this study investigates changes in QoL and MRI as a staging and response evaluation tool. The secondary outcomes will be used to create a model that may predict which of the patients will benefit from PIPAC treatment.ConclusionsIt is expected that PIPAC directed therapy can induce major or complete response in 50 % of patients with PC of colorectal origin and in 30 % of patients with PC of non-colorectal origin – and at the same time stabilize or even improve quality of life. This trial may provide data regarding the utility of MRI as a staging and response evaluation tool in patients with PC.Trial registrationThe study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier NCT03287375 and the European Clinical Trials Database (EudraCT) number 2016-003394-18.
