AbstractIntraperitoneal chemotherapy has shown promising results for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis in gastric cancer. However, the implantation of an intraperitoneal chemotherapy port may be associated with catheter-related complications. The authors describe a case of cutaneous port-site recurrence secondary to tumour seeding from an intraperitoneal chemotherapy access port.

Hyperthermic Chemotherapy

There is preliminary evidence from experience in the treatment of various abdominal malignancies that intraperitoneal chemotherapy alone or combined with hyperthermia may attain a role in the therapeutic strategy. This paper considers the rationale for such an approach, as well as its current results and potential indications in patients with gastric cancer. The literature is critically reviewed, with special emphasis on specific topics such as patterns of tumor spread, mechanisms of local recurrence, the rationale for intraperitoneal chemotherapy and intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy, toxicity, and results from non-controlled as well as randomized clinical trials in patients with gastric cancer. There is some evidence that intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy has a favorable effect on clinical outcome in patients with limited peritoneal carcinomatosis or malignant ascitis and in those at risk of future peritoneal spread, such as patients with pT3-pT4 cancers or with positive cytology of the peritoneal fluid. Hyperthermic chemotherapy should be considered a promising approach in limited or impending peritoneal carcinomatosis, and should be included in the multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer.

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.
