Abstract Background Multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma (MCPM) is a rare neoplasm, generally considered a borderline malignancy, best treated by cytoreductive surgery (CRS) to remove macroscopic disease, combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Owing to its rarity, little has been published on clinical presentation, clinical behaviour over time, or an optimal treatment approach. Methods A prospectively developed peritoneal malignancy database was interrogated for the years 2001–2018. Details on all patients with MCPM as a definitive diagnosis after CRS and HIPEC were analysed, including previous interventions, mode of presentation, surgical treatment, postoperative outcomes, and late follow-up information from abdominal CT and tumour markers. Results Some 40 patients with MCPM underwent CRS and HIPEC between 2001 and 2018. Of these, 32 presented with abdominal pain, distension or bloating, six patients presented with recurrence following previous surgery at the referring hospitals, and two had coincidental diagnoses during a surgical procedure. CRS involved peritonectomy in all 40 patients. Bowel resection was required in 18 patients, and seven had a temporary stoma. Thirty-eight patients were considered to have undergone a complete macroscopic tumour removal (completeness of cytoreduction CC0), and two had residual tumour nodules less than 2.5 mm in size, classified as CC1. Median duration of follow-up was 65 (range 48–79) months. There were no deaths during follow-up. The Kaplan–Meier-predicted recurrence-free interval was 115.4 months. Conclusion MCPM is a rare peritoneal neoplasm with a heterogeneous pattern of presentation. CRS and HIPEC is an effective management option for this group of patients, with favourable long-term survival.

AbstractBackground: The current treatment of choice for peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer is systemic chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a new aggressive form of loco-regional treatment that is currently being used in pseudomyxoma peritoneii, peritoneal mesothelioma and peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer. It is still under investigation for its use in gastric cancer.Methods: The literature between 1970 and 2016 was surveyed systematically through a review of published studies on the treatment outcomes of CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer.Results: Seventeen studies were included in this review. The median survival for all patients ranged from 6.6 to 15.8 months. The 5-years overall survival ranged from 6 to 31%. For patients with complete cytoreduction, the median survival was 11.2 to 43.4 months and the 5-years overall survival was 13 % to 23%. Important prognostic factors were found to be a low peritoneal carcarcinomatosis index (PCI) score and the completeness of cytoreduction.Conclusion: The current evidence suggests that CRS and HIPEC has a role to play in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer. Long term survival has been shown for a select group of patients. However, further studies are needed to validate these results.

Purpose This multi-institutional registry study evaluated cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM). Patients and Methods A multi-institutional data registry that included 405 patients with DMPM treated by a uniform approach that used CRS and HIPEC was established. The primary end point was overall survival. The secondary end point was evaluation of prognostic variables for overall survival. Results Follow-up was complete in 401 patients (99%). The median follow-up period for the patients who were alive was 33 months (range, 1 to 235 months). The mean age was 50 years (standard deviation [SD], 14 years). Three hundred eighteen patients (79%) had epithelial tumors. Twenty-five patients (6%) had positive lymph nodes. The mean peritoneal cancer index was 20. One hundred eighty-seven patients (46%) had complete or near-complete cytoreduction. Three hundred seventy-two patients (92%) received HIPEC. One hundred twenty-seven patients (31%) had grades 3 to 4 complications. Nine patients (2%) died perioperatively. The mean length of hospital stay was 22 days (SD, 15 days). The overall median survival was 53 months (1 to 235 months), and 3- and 5-year survival rates were 60% and 47%, respectively. Four prognostic factors were independently associated with improved survival in the multivariate analysis: epithelial subtype (P < .001), absence of lymph node metastasis (P < .001), completeness of cytoreduction scores of CC-0 or CC-1 (P < .001), and HIPEC (P = .002). Conclusion The data suggest that CRS combined with HIPEC achieved prolonged survival in selected patients with DMPM.

Background Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is associated with significant operative time, hospital resources, and morbidity. We examine factors associated with hospital length of stay (LOS) and early overall survival (OS) after CRS/HIPEC. Materials and Methods Patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC were evaluated for factors associated with LOS. Institutional learning curve influence was addressed by comparing early vs late cohorts. Variables with P < .200 after univariate analysis were considered for inclusion in multivariate linear regression modeling. Independent factors associated with OS were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results Seventy patients underwent CRS/HIPEC (mean age 52.3 years, 64.3% female, and 68.6% Caucasian). Presence of any surgical complication was found in 26 (37.1%), 28 (40%) remained intubated postoperatively, and the mean Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index (PCI) score was 14.4 ([Formula: see text]10.4). Mean intensive care unit and hospital LOS were 2.9 days ([Formula: see text]2.3) and 9.6 days ([Formula: see text]3.6), respectively. After adjusting for covariates, only shorter time to postoperative ambulation (regression coefficient .92, P = .001) and early extubation (regression coefficient −1.90, P = .018) were associated with decreased hospital LOS on multivariate analysis. Immediate postoperative extubation conferred an independent early survival benefit on Kaplan-Meier analysis (mean OS 714.8 vs 473.4 days, P = .010). There was no difference in hospital LOS or OS between early and late cohorts. Conclusion Early postoperative extubation and shorter time to ambulation are associated with decreased hospital LOS. Moreover, CRS/HIPEC patients extubated immediately postoperatively have an early survival benefit. Every effort should be made to achieve early postoperative extubation and mobilization in CRS/HIPEC patients.

e16276 Background: Appendiceal adenocarcinoma is relatively rare and often diagnosed incidentally during operations for acute appendicitis. It is commonly associated, either at time of initial presentation or upon recurrence, with peritoneal metastases. A typical treatment strategy for patients with peritoneal disease includes cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Extrapolating largely from literature in colorectal cancer, chemotherapy is frequently given before and/or after CRS/HIPEC though high-level evidence to support this is lacking. We sought to evaluate the effect of systemic chemotherapy on survival. Methods: Utilizing a database of CRS/HIPEC procedures at University of Colorado Hospital from 2008 to present we retrospectively reviewed cases of appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Data collected included staging, histologic grade, chemotherapy given, surgical outcomes, and time to disease recurrence. Patients without adequate information regarding treatment, or without at least 1 year of clinical follow-up, were excluded. Associations between administration of chemotherapy or histologic grade and 1-year DFS were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test, and logistic regression was used to assess whether 1-year DFS were different in chemotherapy-treated patients when adjusted for histologic grade. Results: In total, 117 cases reviewed indicated an appendiceal pathology. Of these, 54 cases in a total of 51 patients met the specified criteria for pathology and completeness and length of follow-up information. The average age was 58 years (range 26-81 years). Adenocarcinoma was graded as low in 15 (28%) cases, intermediate in 18 (33%) cases, and high in 21 (39%) cases. 23 (43%) patients received no chemotherapy while 31 (57%) received chemotherapy before and/or after surgery. In the overall population, there was no significant effect of chemotherapy on survival, with 1-year DFS demonstrated in 74.2% of patients receiving some chemotherapy and 70% in patients not receiving chemotherapy (p = 0.765). One-year DFS was achieved in 86% of low-grade cases, 61% of intermediate-grade cases, and 71% of high-grade cases, though this was also not statistically significant (p = 0.254). Furthermore, when 1-year DFS between chemotherapy and non-chemotherapy patients was adjusted for grade, there was again no significant interaction (odds ratio = 0.48, 95% C.I. (0.13-1.64), p = 0.763). Conclusions: In this small, single-institution experience of patients with peritoneal appendiceal adenocarcinoma, there was no significant effect of chemotherapy administration on 1-year DFS. These findings are likely affected by significant confounding with the small sample size and retrospective nature of the data. Further investigation on a larger scale is warranted.
