Purpose The efficacy of cytoreductive surgery combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal carcinoma remains to be established. Methods A systematic review of relevant studies before March 2006 was performed. Two reviewers independently appraised each study using a predetermined protocol. The quality of studies was assessed. Clinical effectiveness was synthesized through a narrative review with full tabulation of results of all included studies. Results Two randomized controlled trials, one comparative study, one multi-institutional registry study, and 10 most recent case-series studies were evaluated. The level of evidence was low in 13 of the 14 eligible studies. The median survival varied from 13 to 29 months, and 5-year survival rates ranged from 11% to 19%. Patients who received complete cytoreduction benefited most, with median survival varying from 28 to 60 months and 5-year survival ranging from 22% to 49%. The overall morbidity rate varied from 23% to 44%, and the mortality rate ranged from 0% to 12%. Conclusion The current evidence suggests that cytoreductive surgery combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy is associated with an improved survival, as compared with systemic chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal carcinoma.

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. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

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.

Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a promising approach for the management of peritoneal carcinomatosis, but is associated with significant morbidity and prolonged hospital stay. Herein, we review the impact of Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on length of stay (LOS) and early complications in patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis.Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched for studies comparing ERAS protocol with control for CRS + HIPEC. Mean difference (MD) and risk ratios (RR) were calculated for LOS and complications respectively.Results: Six retrospective studies were included. Meta-analysis indicated statistically significant reduction in LOS with ERAS (MD: −2.82 95% CI: −3.79, −1.85 I2 = 29% p < 0.00001). Our results demonstrated significantly reduced risk of Calvien Dindo grade III/IV complications with the use of ERAS protocol as compared to the control group (RR: 0.60 95% CI: 0.41, 0.87 I2 = 0% p = 0.007). Pooled analysis of limited studies demonstrated no statistically significant difference in the risk of reoperation (RR: 1.04 95% CI: 0.54, 2.03 I2 = 50% p = 0.90) readmission (RR: 0.55 95% CI: 0.21, 1.49 I2 = 0% p = 0.24), acute kidney injury (RR: 0.55 95% CI: 0.28, 1.10 I2 = 0% p = 0.09) or mortality (RR: 0.62 95% CI: 0.17, 2.26 I2 = 0% p = 0.46) between the study groups.Conclusion: For CRS + HIPEC, ERAS is associated with significantly reduced LOS along with lower incidence of complications. Limited data suggest that use of ERAS protocol is not associated with increased readmission, reoperation, and mortality rates in these patients. There is a need for randomized controlled trials to corroborate the current evidence.

Background. In peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), increased life span and disease-free survival times are shown in patients with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) following cytoreductive surgery (SRC). In this study, our main objective was to present our experience of performing SRC and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC and EPIC) on patients with PC, in light of the literature. Methods. Demographic data, follow-up results, peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI), completeness of cytoreduction (CCR) score, and morbidity and mortality rates of 180 patients treated with SRC + HIPEC + EPIC for PC at the Department of Surgical Oncology at Sivas Cumhuriyet University between January 2008 and July 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Results. Distribution of 180 PC cases according to primary organs included 53 ovarian, 39 colorectal, 33 stomach, 25 primary peritoneum, 10 uterus, 10 tuba, five soft tissue, and five appendix originated carcinoma. The average PCI of the cases detected preoperatively was 21 (5–30). Completeness of cytoreduction scores of CCR-0 in 102 cases, CCR-1 in 67 cases, CCR-2 in eight cases, and CCR-3 in three cases was obtained. Median operation time was 300 (200–540) minutes. Perioperative morbidity rate was 47.0%, and perioperative mortality rate was 13.5%. Conclusion. The peritonectomy procedure is a difficult, long-lasting, troublesome intervention, but it is the most important treatment option with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates in patients selected for PC treatment in experienced centers.
