Abstract The gastric cancer with peritoneal metastases still represents a serious problem in the oncological surgery, whereas the peritoneal metastases arising from colorectal cancer can be successfully treated using a multimodal therapy concept consisting of systemic chemotherapy, cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The best survival rates in patients suffering from peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer have been reported by the ToGa trial, in patients with HER-2 positive expression who received standard chemotherapy and trastuzumab. Cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC are increasingly wining a place in the multimodal therapy of gastric cancer with peritoneal metastases, the criteria for such an aggressive therapy are strict and the operability needs to be previously assessed by laparoscopic exploration. Interesting new data are awaited from the German GASTRIPEC study and from the French GASTRICHIP study.

PURPOSE Gastric cancer (GC) with peritoneal metastases (PMs) is a poor prognostic evolution. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) yields promising results, but the impact of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) remains controversial. Here we aimed to compare outcomes between CRS-HIPEC versus CRS alone (CRSa) among patients with PMs from GC. PATIENTS AND METHODS From prospective databases, we identified 277 patients with PMs from GC who were treated with complete CRS with curative intent (no residual nodules > 2.5 mm) at 19 French centers from 1989 to 2014. Of these patients, 180 underwent CRS-HIPEC and 97 CRSa. Tumor burden was assessed using the peritoneal cancer index. A Cox proportional hazards regression model with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) based on propensity score was used to assess the effect of HIPEC and account for confounding factors. RESULTS After IPTW adjustment, the groups were similar, except that median peritoneal cancer index remained higher in the CRS-HIPEC group (6 v 2; P = .003). CRS-HIPEC improved overall survival (OS) in both crude and IPTW models. Upon IPTW analysis, in CRS-HIPEC and CRSa groups, median OS was 18.8 versus 12.1 months, 3- and 5-year OS rates were 26.21% and 19.87% versus 10.82% and 6.43% (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.86; P = .005), and 3- and 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 20.40% and 17.05% versus 5.87% and 3.76% ( P = .001), respectively; the groups did not differ regarding 90-day mortality (7.4% v 10.1%, respectively; P = .820) or major complication rate (53.7% v 55.3%, respectively; P = .496). CONCLUSION Compared with CRSa, CRS-HIPEC improved OS and recurrence-free survival, without additional morbidity or mortality. When complete CRS is possible, CRS-HIPEC may be considered a valuable therapy for strictly selected patients with limited PMs from GC.

The prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer with carcinosis remains poor with a median survival of less than one year. High rates of peritoneal recurrence of patients undergoing resection with potentially curative intent are strictly related with lymphatic spread and penetration of the serosa. To increase survival rates, during the last thirty years different strategies about screening and treatment have been tested and proposed. Early detection of occult peritoneal micrometastasis is a base step to reduce local and serosa recurrences and to offer a tailored surgical and neoadjuvant therapeutic treatment. The complete cytoreductive surgery, however, remains the cornerstone of treatment. It could be associated with different combinations of chemotherapy regimens. Adjuvant, neoadjuvant and intraperitoneal chemotherapy have been demonstrated effective in improving the survival. In the last years, a few new molecules have been introduced which enhance the effect of chemotherapy by biologically targeting its objective. Lastly the prevention of macroscopic peritoneal carcinosis in all those patients at high risk due to serosal infiltration by treating them with intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been demonstrated to be one of the future winning approaches. In patients with peritoneal carcionosis, multimodal comprehensive treatment should be mandatory, with a pivotal role of intraperitoneal chemotherapy associate to CC0 cytoreduction. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy gave promising results. The new molecules as monoclonal antibodies seem to improve outcomes.

The Impact

Abstract Background The incidence of gastric poorly cohesive carcinoma (PCC) is increasing. The prognosis for patients with peritoneal metastases remains poor and the role of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is controversial. The aim was to clarify the impact of gastric PCC with peritoneal metastases treated by CRS with or without HIPEC. Methods All patients with peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer treated with CRS with or without HIPEC, in 19 French centres, between 1989 and 2014, were identified from institutional databases. Clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes were compared between PCC and non-PCC subtypes, and the possible benefit of HIPEC was assessed. Results In total, 277 patients were included (188 PCC, 89 non-PCC). HIPEC was performed in 180 of 277 patients (65 per cent), including 124 of 188 with PCC (66 per cent). Median overall survival (OS) was 14.7 (95 per cent c.i. 12.7 to 17.3) months in the PCC group versus 21.2 (14.7 to 36.4) months in the non-PCC group (P < 0.001). In multivariable analyses, PCC (hazard ratio (HR) 1.51, 95 per cent c.i. 1.01 to 2.25; P = 0.044) was associated with poorer OS, as were pN3, Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI), and resection with a completeness of cytoreduction score of 1, whereas HIPEC was associated with improved OS (HR 0.52; P < 0.001). The benefit of CRS-HIPEC over CRS alone was consistent, irrespective of histology, with a median OS of 16.7 versus 11.3 months (HR 0.60, 0.39 to 0.92; P = 0.018) in the PCC group, and 34.5 versus 14.3 months (HR 0.43, 0.25 to 0.75; P = 0.003) in the non-PCC group. Non-PCC and HIPEC were independently associated with improved recurrence-free survival and fewer peritoneal recurrences. In patients who underwent HIPEC, PCI values of below 7 and less than 13 were predictive of OS in PCC and non-PCC populations respectively. Conclusion In selected patients, CRS-HIPEC offers acceptable outcomes among those with gastric PCC and long survival for patients without PCC.

The management of peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer origin has evolved considerably over the last three decades with the establishment of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) as efficacious therapies in carefully selected patients. Other approaches such as the use of prophylactic/adjuvant HIPEC in patients who are considered high-risk and those with positive peritoneal cytology will benefit from additional data before being adopted into routine clinical practice. Lastly, there are new and emerging intraperitoneal chemotherapy techniques such as early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) for residual microscopic disease, and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC) for patients with advanced unresectable peritoneal carcinomatosis, which are currently under evaluation in clinical trials. The following review outlines the natural history of gastric cancer, currently available neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies for resectable disease, and existing evidence supporting various approaches to CRS and intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
