Purpose The three principal studies dedicated to the natural history of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer consistently showed median survival ranging between 6 and 8 months. New approaches combining cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy suggest improved survival. Patients and Methods A retrospective multicenter study was performed to evaluate the international experience with this combined treatment and to identify the principal prognostic indicators. All patients had cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia and/or immediate postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy). PC from appendiceal origin was excluded. Results The study included 506 patients from 28 institutions operated between May 1987 and December 2002. Their median age was 51 years. The median follow-up was 53 months. The morbidity and mortality rates were 22.9% and 4%, respectively. The overall median survival was 19.2 months. Patients in whom cytoreductive surgery was complete had a median survival of 32.4 months, compared with 8.4 months for patients in whom complete cytoreductive surgery was not possible (P < .001). Positive independent prognostic indicators by multivariate analysis were complete cytoreduction, treatment by a second procedure, limited extent of PC, age less than 65 years, and use of adjuvant chemotherapy. The use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, lymph node involvement, presence of liver metastasis, and poor histologic differentiation were negative independent prognostic indicators. Conclusion The therapeutic approach combining cytoreductive surgery with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy achieved long-term survival in a selected group of patients with PC from colorectal origin with acceptable morbidity and mortality. The complete cytoreductive surgery was the most important prognostic indicator.

Purpose Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer traditionally is considered a terminal condition. Approaches that combine cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC) have been developed recently. The purpose of this study was to assess early and long-term survival in patients treated with that strategy. Patients and Methods A retrospective-cohort, multicentric study from French-speaking countries was performed. All consecutive patients with PC from colorectal cancer who were treated with CRS and PIC (with or without hyperthermia) were included. Patients with PC of appendiceal origin were excluded. Results The study included 523 patients from 23 centers in four French-speaking countries who underwent operation between 1990 and 2007. The median follow-up was 45 months. Mortality and grades 3 to 4 morbidity at 30 days were 3% and 31%, respectively. Overall median survival was 30.1 months. Five-year overall survival was 27%, and five-year disease-free survival was 10%. Complete CRS was performed in 84% of the patients, and median survival was 33 months. Positive independent prognostic factors identified in the multivariate analysis were complete CRS, PC that was limited in extent, no invaded lymph nodes, and the use of adjuvant chemotherapy. Neither the grade of disease nor the presence of liver metastases had a significant prognostic impact. Conclusion This combined treatment approach against PC achieved low postoperative morbidity and mortality, and it provided good long-term survival in patients with peritoneal scores lower than 20. These results should improve in the future, because the different teams involved will gain experience. This approach, when feasible, is now considered the gold standard in the French guidelines.

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.

5524 Background: Advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer results in extensive dissemination of tumor within the peritoneal cavity. The current evidence suggests that cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) may be a feasible option with potential benefits compared to the current standard of care in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer. Methods: A systematic review of relevant studies before August 2008 was undertaken to document and report its efficacy. Each study was appraised using a predetermined protocol. The quality of studies was assessed. The patient characteristics, protocol of treatment, perioperative morbidity and mortality, and treatment outcomes were synthesized through a narrative review with full tabulation of results of all included studies. Results: In total, 15 non-randomized, observational studies were reviewed, comprising of 512 patients. All patients received HIPEC as part of the combined treatment with cytoreductive surgery. Cisplatin was the most common chemoperfusate. The mortality associated with the treatment ranged from 0 to 10%. The rates of severe morbidity ranged from 0 to 40%. The median time of follow up ranged from 14 to 64 months, the median disease-free survival ranged from 10 to 57 months and the overall median survival ranged from 22 to 64 months. In patients who had an optimal cytoreduction, the median survival ranged from 29 to 66 months, with a 3- and 5-year survival rate that ranged from 35 to 63% and 12 to 66%, respectively. Conclusions: The future for cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC in ovarian cancer is promising. More studies are called for to validate the efficacy of this treatment. For it to become generally accepted, the oncology community must commit to a randomized trial. Before this, the current treatment of cytoreductive surgery combined with adjuvant intraperitoneal and intravenous chemotherapy should remain the mainstay of treatment.

4102 Background: Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from non-gynecologic malignancies has long been regarded a terminal disease with a short median survival. Over the past decade, new locoregional therapeutic approaches combining cytoreductive surgery with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC) have evolved and suggest improved survival. Methods: A retrospective multicentric study was performed in French speaking centers to evaluate the toxicity and the principal prognostic factors in order to identify the best indications. All patients had cytoreductive surgery and PIC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and or early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC)). Results: The study included 1290 patients from 25 institutions between February 1989 and December 2007. The principal etiologies of PC were colorectal adenocarcinoma (N=523), pseudomyxoma peritonei (N=301), gastric adenocarcinoma (N=159), peritoneal mesothelioma (N=88), and appendiceal adenocarcinoma (N=50). Mortality and morbidity rates were 4.1% and 33.8%, respectively. By multivariate analysis, age, extent of the PC, and the institution's experience had a significant influence on toxicity. The overall median survival was 34 months: 30 months for colorectal PC, not reached for pseudomyxoma peritonei, 9 months for gastric PC, 41 months for peritoneal mesothelioma, and 77 months for PC from appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Independent prognostic indicators by multivariate analysis were the institution's experience, etiology, completeness of cytoreductive surgery, extent of carcinomatosis, and lymph node involvement. Conclusions: The therapeutic approach combining cytoreductive surgery with PIC may achieve long-term survival in a selected group of patients with PC from non-gynecologic origin with acceptable mortality and morbidity. This treatment should be reserved to experienced institutions involved in the management of PC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

e20657 Background: Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) has long been regarded as a terminal disease with short median survival. Recent success of new approach, combining surgery and intraperitoneal heated chemotherapy (HIPEC) are reported. But in the most studies patients over 65 years are excluded. We report our experience in this selected group of patients. Methods: A retrospective study was performed to evaluate toxicity and to identify the principal prognostic indicators with this combined treatment. All patients had cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC. This population of patients was compared with younger over the same period. We have excluded patient with frailty by comprehensive onco-geriatric assessment based upon cognitive, nutritional assessment and cormorbidities. Results: The study included 291 procedures in 249 patients between 2000 and 2008. 64 procedures were performed in 59 older patients (group 1) and 227 procedures in 190 younger patients (group 2). The principal etiologies of PC in group1 were recurrent ovarian cancer (N=33), colorectal cancer (N=9), peritoneal mesothelioma (N=6), pseudomyxoma (N=9) and sarcomatosis (N=2). No death occurred in post operative course and the procedure related morbidity rate was 10%. 5 years overall and free survival rate were respectively 33% and 15%. Median overall survival was 44 months and median disease free survival was 13 months. There were no difference between group1 and 2 for survival. Independent prognostic factors for survival by multivariate analysis were extent of carcinomatosis, completeness of cytoreductive surgery and performance status. Conclusions: Therapeutic approach combining cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC may achieve long-term survival in a selected group of patients with PC with acceptable mortality and morbidity. For elderly patients, this treatment could be performed in selected cases without frailty. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
