ABSTRACT Cytoreductive surgery plus hypertermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has emerged as a major comprehensive treatment of peritoneal malignancies and is currently the standard of care for appendiceal epithelial neoplasms and pseudomyxoma peritonei syndrome as well as malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Unfortunately, there are some worldwide variations of the cytoreductive surgery and hypertermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy techniques since no single technique has so far demonstrated its superiority over the others. Therefore, standardization of practices might enhance better comparisons between outcomes. In these settings, the Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology considered it important to present a proposal for standardizing cytoreductive surgery plus hypertermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy procedures in Brazil, with a special focus on producing homogeneous data for the developing Brazilian register for peritoneal surface malignancies.

4150 Background: There is no staging system available for diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM). This study evaluated seven clinical, seven radiological and twelve histopathologic prognostic parameters for survival of patients with DMPM. Methods: Between September 1989 and September 2005, sixty-two DMPM patients who were treated in a uniform fashion utilizing cytoreductive surgery combined with heated intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, with cisplatin and doxorubicin, followed by early postoperative intraperitoneal paclitaxel from postoperative day 1 to day 5 were included in this study. All prognostic parameters were analyzed in univariate and multivariate analyses using overall survival as the endpoint. The clinical and radiological data were obtained prospectively. A review of the histopathological features of DMPM was performed by two experienced pathologists, who individually evaluated each case. The mean number of specimens taken from separate anatomic sites was 11 ± 4 per patient. The mean number of slides studied was 20 ± 8 per patient. Results: The median follow-up was 37 months (range 8 to 143 months). The overall survival was 79 months (range 1 to 143 months) and 5-year survival was 50%. The following 14 prognostic variables were significant for survival in the univariate analysis: gender (p = 0.045), peritoneal cancer index (p = 0.038), completeness of cytoreduction score (p = 0.010), interpretive CT findings of the small bowel (p = 0.001), histologic type (p < 0.001), nuclear size (p < 0.001), nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio (p < 0.001), mitotic count (p < 0.001), atypical mitosis (p < 0.001), chromatin pattern (p < 0.001), cellular necrosis (p < 0.001), perineural invasion (p = 0.037), stroma pattern (p < 0.001) and depth of invasion (p = 0.014). In the multivariate analysis, the only factor that was independently associated with an improved survival was nuclear size. The 3-year survival rates with nuclear size of 10–20 μm, 21–30 μm, 31–40 μm and > 40 μm were 100%, 87%, 27% and 0%, respectively. Conclusions: Nuclear size was the dominant factor determining overall survival in patients with DMPM. A histopathological staging system based on measurement of the nuclear size was proposed. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Purpose This multi-institutional registry study evaluated cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM). Patients and Methods A multi-institutional data registry that included 405 patients with DMPM treated by a uniform approach that used CRS and HIPEC was established. The primary end point was overall survival. The secondary end point was evaluation of prognostic variables for overall survival. Results Follow-up was complete in 401 patients (99%). The median follow-up period for the patients who were alive was 33 months (range, 1 to 235 months). The mean age was 50 years (standard deviation [SD], 14 years). Three hundred eighteen patients (79%) had epithelial tumors. Twenty-five patients (6%) had positive lymph nodes. The mean peritoneal cancer index was 20. One hundred eighty-seven patients (46%) had complete or near-complete cytoreduction. Three hundred seventy-two patients (92%) received HIPEC. One hundred twenty-seven patients (31%) had grades 3 to 4 complications. Nine patients (2%) died perioperatively. The mean length of hospital stay was 22 days (SD, 15 days). The overall median survival was 53 months (1 to 235 months), and 3- and 5-year survival rates were 60% and 47%, respectively. Four prognostic factors were independently associated with improved survival in the multivariate analysis: epithelial subtype (P < .001), absence of lymph node metastasis (P < .001), completeness of cytoreduction scores of CC-0 or CC-1 (P < .001), and HIPEC (P = .002). Conclusion The data suggest that CRS combined with HIPEC achieved prolonged survival in selected patients with DMPM.
