4098 Background: Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) have become standard of care for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from appendiceal cancer (AC). We reviewed our experience and outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review of 614 CRS/HIPEC procedures from 1998-2016 was performed. Patient characteristics, surgical variables, and postoperative outcomes of first CRS/HIPEC were analyzed. Results: Two hundred ninety patients with PC from AC underwent 334 CRS/HIPEC’s. Median age at diagnosis and surgery was 52 (22-79) and 53 (23-81) years, respectively; 65% (187) were female. Prior surgical score was 0, 1, 2, and 3 in 20%, 38%, 37%, and 5%, respectively. Prior systemic chemotherapy was reported in 30% of patients. Median time from diagnosis to CRS/HIPEC was 4 months (0-182). Pre-operative tumor markers (CEA, CA-125, CA-19-9) were positive in 48% with one, two, and three positive markers in 21%, 15%, and 13% patients, respectively. Median Peritoneal Cancer Index was 29. Mitomycin-C was the HIPEC agent of choice. Mean operative time was 10 hours (R: 4-19) and median length of stay was 10 days (R: 4-93). Histology included 59% (171) peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA), 41% (119) disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM). Lymph nodes were positive in 47% PMCA. Complete cytoreduction rate was 87% (84% PMCA, 92% DPAM [p = 0.048]). Grade III-V complications occurred in 21%, with one 30-day mortality (0.3%). Overall, median progression-free survival (PFS) was 84 months with 5-year PFS of 56%. Median PFS was 43 months in PMCA and not reached in DPAM. Five year PFS was 40% PMCA and 82% DPAM (p < 0.001). Median overall survival (MOS) was 139 months with 61% 5-year OS. MOS was 53 months in PMCA and not reached in DPAM. Five year OS was 47% PMCA and 85% DPAM (p < 0.001). At 42-month median follow-up, 68% were alive (92 PMCA/103 DPAM) with 84% disease free (72 PMCA/92 DPAM), 28% died of disease (73 PMCA/7 DPAM). Conclusions: CRS/HIPEC is an effective treatment for patients with PC from AC providing meaningful long term survival in low and high grade tumors and should be considered the standard of care.

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.

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.

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: The number of cases of cervical cancer with recurrence and peritoneal carcinomatosis is limited. In our study, we aimed to present the results of cytoreductive surgery hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy treatment and its 3-year early period results in patients with peritoneal metastases due to cervical cancer. Methods: Data of 306 patients who had undergone cytoreductive surgery hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy between May 2016 and 2021 because of intra-abdominal metastases were collected prospectively and evaluated retrospectively. Ten cases who had undergone cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy due to cervical peritoneal carcinomatosis were included in this study. Results: Average time of operation was 5 (range = 3-6) hours, mean average of peritoneal carcinomatosis index score was 12.3 (range = 7-36), and mean average of completeness of cytoreduction score was 1 in 2 patients and 0 in 8 patients. No mortality was recorded in 30 days postoperatively. Four patients relapsed and died because of pneumonia, coronavirus disease, pulmonary embolism, and terminal illness. These patients died at 2, 5, 6, and 12 months, respectively. Six patients are still alive and early period tumor relapse has not been reported during their follow-ups. Conclusions: This study has a limited number of patients and the results are early period results. The follow-up of patients were not long term. Therefore, it is hard to say that cytoreductive surgery hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy could be of any benefit looking at the results. Long-term results should be waited. Also, multicentered randomized cohort study with large sample size is required to evaluate this invasive procedure.
