An increasing promising evidence support the use of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for treatment of peritoneal carcinosis from colorectal cancer (CRC) and appendiceal cancer (AC). In our institute 18 patients with CRC and 4 patients with AC undergone to CRS and HIPEC were retrospectively analyzed from 2011 to 2016. Patients and tumor characteristics were analyzed. Overall survival and disease free survival were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank testing. Median disease free survival (DFS) is 20.5 and 31.4 months in CRC and AC respectively (P=0.76). Instead mean overall survival is 37.8 and 44.6 months in CRC and AC group respectively (P=0.46). Primary CRC have an improved DFS compared patients with relapse tumor (45.2 versus 19.4 months) (P=0.037). Comparing with conventional chemotherapy regimens CRS and HIPEC from CRC and AC may obtain a better disease control particularly when a complete cytoreduction is achieved. The combined treatment can have a potential curative intent.

3565 Background: Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) and mutations in BRAF V600E (mutBRAF) or KRAS (mutKRAS) have a worse prognosis after liver or lung surgery/ablation, whereas the impact of microsatellite instability (MSI-H) has not been well studied. Few patients with mutBRAF receive liver or lung surgery (1-4%), whereas mutBRAF is present in 5-12% of mCRC trial patients and in up to 20% of the general mCRC population. The frequency and prognostic role of mutBRAF, mutKRAS and MSI has not been well studied after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer. Methods: The Norwegian Radium Hospital is the only center offering CRS and HIPEC in Norway. From 2004 to 2015 257 patients with histology proven peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer, appendiceal cancer excluded, was consecutively enrolled. Molecular analyses of KRAS, BRAF and MSS/MSI in mutBRAF were done. Fourteen patients were excluded due to missing tumour blocks (7), unsuccessful analysis (4) and other malignant disease (1). Results: 180 of 243 patients obtained complete cytoreductive surgery and received HIPEC for 90 minutes with Mitomycin C (45-70mg). Median survival for the 180 patients was 47 months and 5-year survival rate 40.1%. Median disease-free survival was 10 months. mutBRAF was found in 23.4% of cases, mutKRAS 35.1% and double-wild type 41.5%. mutBRAF with MSS was found in 16.4%, mutBRAF with MSI-H in 7.0%. 3-year disease free survival (DFS) and median overall survival (OS) was 38.9% and 59 months with mutBRAF with MSI-H, significantly higher compared to 24.2% and 30 months in patients with double wild type, 13.2 % and 41 months in mutKRAS and 17.9% and 22 months in mutBRAF with MSS. Conclusions: A surprisingly high frequency of mutBRAF was seen in mCRC patients after CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal metastatic disease. Patients with mutBRAF and MSI-H had a significantly better DFS and OS after CRS and HIPEC. DFS for patients with mutBRAF and MSS was numerically lower but not statistically different from patients with mutKRAS or double wild type.

This study evaluates the clinical and treatment related prognostic indicators for survival of patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal mesothelioma. We did an observational study of the risk factors and clinicopathological factors of 20 patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal mesothelioma at the St George Hospital, Sydney. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method and prognostic factors were correlated with survival using the Log Rank test. There were six females. The mean age was 55 years. The overall median survival was 30 (0.5-87) months with 1- and 3-year survival of 78 per cent and 46 per cent, respectively. The overall median disease-free survival was 8 months. Factors influencing a longer disease-free survival included age ≥ 55 ( P = 0.006), not smoking ( P = 0.04), female ( P = 0.03), and epithelioid tumors ( P = 0.002). Overall survival was influenced by not consuming alcohol ( P = 0.003), complete cytoreduction ( P = 0.02), and epithelioid tumors ( P = 0.01). Risk factors identified to be prognostic for survival include the female gender, not smoking, not consuming alcohol, and an epithelioid tumor type. Treatment factor associated with an improved survival was a complete cytoreduction.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has emerged as an aggressive treatment option with intent to either cure or extend disease-free survival of selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, postoperative complications are common. We describe the cases of 2 men who underwent CRS with hyperthermic intraperitoneal oxaliplatin and developed scrotal pain, which was consistent with noninfectious epididymitis.

AbstractBackgroundCytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal metastases from ovarian cancer have been shown to have a role in recurrent ovarian cancer, but are still not considered standard therapy.MethodsFrom March 2005 to July 2013, 41 patients who underwent 44 CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal metastases in recurrent ovarian cancer were included in this study. Details were obtained from a prospectively maintained database. Our aim was to report our 5-year overall and disease-free survivals, as well as prognostic factors for survival.ResultsMedian age was 50 years old (range 23–73). Median duration of surgery was 510 min (range 230–840) and median peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) score was 9.5 (range 0–31). About 92.7% of the patients had completeness of cytoreduction (CC) scores of 0 or 1. Median follow-up was 43.9 months (range 0.7–108.9). There were no mortalities and the high-grade morbidity rate was 31.8%. Median overall survival was 42.8 months (range 28.6–99.9) 5-year overall and disease-free survivals were 49.3% and 7.5% respectively. On multivariate analysis, histology and CC score were significantly associated with overall survival while histology and disease-free interval were associated with disease-free survival. The odds of developing a high-grade complication more than doubled for each additional surgical procedure performed (p=0.01).ConclusionsCRS and HIPEC can attain prolonged survival in selected patients with peritoneal metastasis in recurrent ovarian cancer.

BackgroundDespite advances in surgical oncology, most patients with primary ovarian cancer develop a recurrence that is associated with a poor prognosis. The aim of this review was to establish the impact of Heated IntraPEritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the overall survival of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer.MethodsA search of PubMed/MEDLINE databases was performed in February 2015 using the terms “recurrent ovarian cancer,” “cytoreductive surgery/cytoreduction,” and “heated/hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.” Only English articles with available abstracts assessing the impact of HIPEC in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer were examined. The primary outcome measure was overall survival, whereas secondary outcomes included disease-free survival and HIPEC-related morbidity.ResultsSixteen studies with 1168 patients were analyzed. Most studies were Level IV, with 4 studies graded as Level III and 1 Level II. Cisplatin was the main chemotherapeutic agent used, but variations were observed in the actual technique, temperature of perfusate, and duration of treatment. In patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC, the overall survival ranged between 26.7 and 35 months, with disease-free survival varying between 8.5 and 48 months. Heated IntraPEritoneal Chemotherapy seems to confer survival benefits to patients with recurrent disease, with a randomized controlled study reporting that the overall survival is doubled when cytoreductive surgery is compared with cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy (13. 4 vs 26.7 months). Heated IntraPEritoneal Chemotherapy–related morbidity ranged between 13.6% and 100%, but it was mainly minor and not significantly different from that experienced by patients who only underwent cytoreduction.ConclusionsCytoreductive surgery and HIPEC seem to be associated with promising results in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. Large international prospective studies are required to further quantify the true efficacy of HIPEC and identify the optimal treatment protocol for a maximum survival benefit.

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: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) originating from appendiceal mucinous neoplasm is a rare peritoneal malignancy characterized by the progressive intraperitoneal accumulation of mucus leading to death if left untreated. In recent years, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) offered increased survival rates. This study aims to identify the clinical, pathological, and surgical features influencing safety and survival outcomes of patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC for PMP of appendiceal origin.Methods: A retrospective analysis of all patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC for PMP of appendiceal origin from January 2015 to May 2019 was conducted at our institution.Results: Study population included 50 patients (74% female, 26% male). The median age at CRS was 60 (38–84). The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 17. Complete cytoreductive surgery (CC 0–1) was achieved in 47 patients (94%). HIPEC chemotherapeutic regimen was based on oxaliplatin for 13 (28%) patients and mitomycin for 34 (72%) patients. We experienced a total of 19 (38%) postoperative complications, of which 14 (74%) of grade I-II and 5 (26%) of grade III-IV, according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. The median follow-up period was 27 months (12–107) from the date of cytoreductive surgery. The mean survival rate was 100 months, with a 5-year OS of 91%. The mean progression-free survival rate was 77 months (0–107), with a 5-year PFS of 63%. Multivariate analysis identified adenocarcinoma histotype and incomplete cytoreduction to significantly worsen progression-free survival, while incomplete cytoreduction was the only independent predictor of poorer overall survival.Conclusion: Complete cytoreduction and appendiceal neoplasm histotype play a crucial role in the survival of patients affected by PMP of appendiceal origin. The rates of morbidity associated with CRS and HIPEC for PMP are acceptable.
