Abstract
Objectives: Palliative surgery for cancer plays an important role in the overall management, especially in low-middle countries with a significant burden of advanced cancers. There is a paucity of literature related to the field of palliative surgery. In this study, we present the clinical spectrum, profile of surgical interventions and outcomes of palliative surgical procedures performed at a tertiary cancer centre involving multiple organ systems. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively maintained surgical oncology database of a tertiary care cancer centre was performed. Patients fulfilling the criteria of palliative surgery were analysed for clinical spectrum, indications for surgery, palliative surgical procedures and post-operative outcomes. Results: A total of 678 out of 8300 patients fulfilled the criteria for palliative surgery. Palliative surgical procedures were performed most commonly for gastro-oesophageal malignancies (36.4%) followed by colorectal cancers (24%) and breast cancer (12%). Palliative mastectomy was the most common procedure performed for advanced breast cancer and 7% of sarcoma patients had amputations. Symptom relief could be achieved in 80–90% of patients and post-operative morbidity was relatively high among hepatobiliary, gastrointestinal and gynaecological cancer patients. Conclusion: Globally, a significant number of cancer patients need palliative surgical intervention, especially in LMIC with a high burden of advanced cancers. Results of the current study indicate that gastrointestinal cancer patients constitute a major proportion of patients undergoing palliative surgery. Overall results of the current study indicate that excellent palliation can be achieved in majority of patients with acceptable morbidity and hospital stay.

Feasibility and outcomes of cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC for peritoneal surface malignancies in low- and middle-income countries: a single-center experience of 232 cases. World J Surg Oncol 2021; 19:164. [PMID: 34090452 PMCID: PMC8180169 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-021-02276-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/27/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has recently emerged as a viable management option for peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM). CRS and HIPEC is a complex, multidisciplinary and resource-intensive surgical procedure. It has a steep learning curve and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The expertise is mostly limited to few dedicated high-volume centers located in developed countries. We present a single institutional experience of 232 cases of CRS and HIPEC performed at a tertiary care cancer center in a low- and middle-income country (LMIC). METHODS A multidisciplinary PSM program was initiated in 2015 at a high-volume public-sector tertiary care cancer center in North India catering largely to patients belonging to low- and middle-income groups. Perioperative protocols were developed, and a prospective structured database was created to capture data. All patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC between January 2015 and December 2020 were identified, and the data was retrospectively analyzed for clinical spectrum, surgical details, and perioperative morbidity and mortality. RESULTS Two hundred and thirty-two patients underwent CRS and HIPEC during the study period. Epithelial ovarian carcinoma (56.5%) was the most common malignancy treated, followed by pseudomyxoma peritonei (18.5%), colorectal carcinoma (13.4%), and malignant mesothelioma (5.6%). Optimal CRS could be achieved in 94.4% of patients. Cisplatin and mitomycin were the most common drugs used for HIPEC. A total of 28.0% of patients had morbidity including deep vein thrombosis, subacute intestinal obstruction, sepsis, burst abdomen, lymphocele, urinoma, acute renal failure, and enterocutaneous fistula. The overall treatment-related mortality was 3.5%. CONCLUSIONS Results of the current study indicate that it is feasible to establish a successful CRS and HIPEC program for PSM in government-funded hospitals in LMIC facing resource constraints. The most common indication for CRS and HIPEC were carcinoma of the ovary followed by pseudomyxoma peritonei and colorectal carcinoma. Overall morbidity and mortality in the current series are comparable to global standards, reported from high-income countries. A protocol-based multidisciplinary team approach, optimal patient selection, and surgical expertise can help achieve optimal outcomes in government-funded hospitals in LMIC.

Abstract
4 Background: Rural residence, educational status & longer travel distance are variably associated with suboptimal cancer treatment and outcomes. There are limited data on impact of these factors on treatment patterns & survival outcomes in penile cancer. Methods: Patients with a histological diagnosis of carcinoma penis during 2015 to 2019 were identified from the database of a large tertiary care center in India. Chart reviews were performed to retrieve demographic, clinicopathological and treatment details. Educational status was categorized as no formal education and any educational attainment, while travel distance was dichotomized at 500 km. Logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the associations with cancer treatments. Relapse free survival (RS) and overall survival (OS) were calculated by plotting Kaplan Meir curves and compared using log rank test. Multivariable Cox regression analysis were used to determine the associations of socioeconomic status and residence on survival outcomes. Results: A total of 100 patients were eligible for the current analysis. The median age was 56 (interquartile [IQR]range, 42-65) years. The median duration of symptoms was 6 (IQR, 4-12) months. Ulcero-proliferative growth (65%) was the most common presenting symptom followed by pain (57%) and dysuria (36%). Most patients had grade 2 tumor (60%), while stage was equally distributed from I-IV. Three-fourths of patients had clinically enlarged inguinal lymph nodes, while, 42 % were pathologically involved. Of all patients, 58% were from rural communities, 44% patient didn’t receive any formal education, and 36% had travelling distance of over 500 km from the hospital. Surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were administered in 53%, 42% and 24%, respectively. On multivariable logistic regression analysis, lower education, rural residence and longer travel distance were not associated with a lower likelihood of receiving any treatment. At a median follow-up of 50.7 months, median RFS and OS were 59.8 (95% CI, 15.8-NR) and 83.9 (95% CI, 29.2–NR) months, respectively. After adjusting for tumor stage, involvement of lymph nodes, PS, and grade, education status, primary residence (urban vs rural), and distance from the treatment center were not associated with RFS and OS. However, advanced stage was the only factor predictive of worse RFS and OS (Table). Conclusions: Rural residence, educational status and travel time were not associated with treatment administration and survival outcomes in patients with penile cancer treated in a publicly funded tertiary care center in India.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the patterns of recurrence and factors affecting the same after interval cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in primary stage IIIC and IV A epithelial ovarian cancer. METHODS In this retrospective multicentric study, all patients with FIGO stages III-C and IV-A epithelial ovarian carcinoma were treated with CRS and HIPEC after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Relevant clinical and demographic data were captured. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to evaluate the factors affecting recurrence after CRS and HIPEC. RESULTS From January 2017 to Jan 2020, 97, consecutive patients of Stage IIIC/IVA epithelial ovarian cancer underwent interval cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC after receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The median duration of follow up duration was 20 months [1-36months]. 21/97 (21.6%) patients presented with disease recurrence. Visceral recurrences involving the lungs, liver and brain were seen in 8/21 (38%) of cases and comprised the commonest sites. On multivariable analysis, nodal involvement (p = 0.05), selective peritonectomy (p = 0.001) and leaving behind residual disease <0.25 mm (CC1) (p = 0.01) was associated with increased risk of disease recurrence. Extent of peritonectomy (OS,p = 0.56, PFS p = 0.047, Log Rank test) and nodal positivity (OS, p = 0.13,PFS,p = 0.057, Log Rank test) were found to impact progression free survival but had no impact on overall survival. CONCLUSION There is a higher incidence of systemic recurrences in patients with Stage IIIC/IVA epithelial ovarian carcinoma after CRS and HIPEC. Extent of peritonectomy and nodal clearance impacts patterns of recurrence and progression free survival.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Women with epithelial ovary cancer with impaired immunity develop life-threatening clinical disease, implying that these patients have some form of altered immune response against disease prognosis. Frequent findings of tumor-associated lymphocytes as well as differential immunologic markers from tumor specimen after surgery for EOC are explicit evidence of immunologic sensitivity to this. Despite several treatment modalities, the majority of these patients will eventually relapse. However, several i.p. therapies have been advocated to command the disease progress. In this context, hyperthermia is one of the effective i.p. therapies to boost the therapeutic efficacy, showing its impact by killing tumor cells as well as inducing an efficient anticancer immune response, therefore providing insight into hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC)-associated immunotherapy, a new therapeutic treatment for cancer.
Rationale: In a vast majority of the cases the disease is confined to the peritoneal cavity for a long time. Even in recurrent cases, disease remains confined to peritoneal cavity only. Intraperitoneal administration of chemotherapy results in high peritoneal to plasma ratios for pick concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs. Mechanisms of immune activation: Surface molecular expression—Heated tumor cells increase the surface expression of MHC class I, making the tumor cells more sensitive to lysis by CD8+T (T cytotoxic) cells. Expression of HSPs—Heated tumor cells release heat shock protein (HSPs), which activate natural killer (NK) cells and antigen-presenting cells (APCs), cross present the antigen to CD8+T cells. Exosome production—Heated tumor cells release exosomes, containing potential antigens, and antigen-presenting cells, cross present the antigen to CD8+ T cells. Direct effect on immune cells, NK cells, CD8+ T cells and dendritic cells (DC), tumor vasculature—Increases the permeability of tumor vasculature. Changed vasculature within the tumor may help immune cell mobilization.
Conclusion: HIPEC elicits antitumor immune responses by enabling tumor cells to stimulate the immune system through increased surface expression of MHC class I, release of HSPs, exosomes, directly activating intratumoral immune cells and improving immune-cell trafficking.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Epithelial Ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal Gynaecological Cancer and incidence is rapidly increasing in India and it is a leading cause of death due to its high relapse rate. Despite of multimodality treatment, the 5 years survival is dismal and for last three decades it is 15-30% and recurrence rate >70%. The Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a highly concentrated, heated chemotherapy, delivered directly to the abdominal cavity at the end of complete Cytoreduction surgery aiming to destroy the microscopic cancer cells. Experimental Procedure: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in ovarian cancer suppression and its recurrence. However changes in Tregs population in patients with ovarian cancer after HIPEC in not yet known. On occurrence of cancer, immunological imbalance between Tregs and Th17 cells leads to cancer suppression or inflammation. Our study aims to understand the expression pattern of Tregs (CD4+,CD25+, CD127- ,IL10+,Foxp3+) and Th17(CD4+, CCR6+, IL17+, RORγ) and intracellular cytokine profile in peripheral blood by flow cytometry before and after the HIPEC in 1st week and 4th week. Summary: We have observed that percentage of Tregs in Ovarian Cancer patients (n=24) were high as compared to healthy controls before HIPEC and were reduced remarkably after 4 weeks of operation. Th17 cells frequency was low before HIPEC but in patients with good recovery Th17 cells are relatively high after 4 weeks of HIPEC. The percentage of Tregs was very high in stage III/IV before HIPEC treatment whereas there is some change in Th17 cells observed before and after HIPEC. This is a preliminary data results will be further confirmed by having more number of patients and after statistical analysis. Further we are also looking forFOXP3expressionat tissue and gene level by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and real time PCR to compare the difference in expression of FOXP3 Conclusion: Our work raises the possibility that the HIPEC procedure not only kills tumour cells but also induces an efficient anticancer immune response, therefore opening new therapeutic windows for the patients of EOC.

Abstract
e16057 Background: Testicular Germ Cell Tumor (TGCT) is a highly curable malignancy treated with surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The available literature has conflicting results on quality of life (QoL) of survivors determined using various tools. There is no Indian data on QoL among TGCT patients. Methods: The study was a prospective case-control study. EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire were administered to survivors (last treatment completed at least 2 years back) and healthy age matched controls attending the uro-malignancy clinic of AIIMS between 1st January 2017 to 31st December 2018. The functional, symptom and global QoL scales were scored as per EORTC manual and were compared with each other using student t-test and Mann-Whitney test. The data was analysed with stata v.13.0. Results: The mean scores of all domains of functional scales and global QoL of 114 TGCT survivors were significantly worse than 100 controls except role functioning and cognitive functioning (Table). The symptom scores of cases were significantly worse for each domain except insomnia and constipation (Table). There was no difference in QoL parameters between Seminoma or Non-Seminoma or different stages of GCT. Conclusions: The QoL among TGCT survivors was significantly inferior indicating the long term physical, emotional, social, sexual and financial effects of disease and its treatment on survivors. More robust tools and studies are needed to better define QoL among survivors. ± SD of Functional, symptom and Global QoL Scales) [Table: see text]

Abstract
HIPEC in addition to interval CRS has shown a survival benefit of 12 months compared to CRS alone. However, there are many controversial issues pertaining to CRS itself which should be addressed first. To compare NACT and primary CRS approaches when CRS is categorized according to the extent of resection. To evaluate the feasibility of performing HIPEC at these two time points. A retrospective analysis of patients with stage III C ovarian cancer undergoing primary and interval CRS + HIPEC was performed. The surgical approach for interval CRS was classified as (1) resection of sites of residual disease alone or (2) resection of sites involved before NACT. The morphological response was divided into different categories, and surgeons had to state what they consider residual disease and what they do not. From January 2013 to December 2017, 54 patients were included (18-primary; 36-interval). Median PCI 11 vs 6.5 (p = 0.07); CC-0 was obtained in 77.7%. Three surgeons resected previously involved sites; three sites of residual disease only. All surgeons resected areas of scarring. Twenty percent patients had residual disease in "normal-looking" peritoneum. Morbidity (p = 0.09), median OS (p = 0.71), and median DFS (p = 0.54) were similar in the two groups. Early recurrence occurred in 50% with resection of residual disease alone compared to 16.6% when previous disease sites were resected (p = 0.07). Interval CRS should be performed to resect sites involved prior to NACT and not just sites of residual disease. HIPEC can be performed in both primary/interval settings with acceptable morbidity.

Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and HIPEC results in a median disease-free survival (DFS) of 12-15 months, overall survival (OS) of 23-63 months, and cure in around 15% of patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM). The wide variation in OS may largely be attributed to different criteria for patient selection employed by different investigators. To evaluate outcomes of CRS and HIPEC for CPM in patients enrolled in the Indian HIPEC registry. A retrospective analysis of patients enrolled in the registry since its inception in March 2016 was performed. The impact of various prognostic factors on DFS and OS was evaluated. From Jan 2013 to Dec 2017, 68 patients underwent CRS with HIPEC at six Indian centers. The median PCI was nine [range 3-35]. Twenty-two (32.3%) had mucinous tumors. A CC-0 resection was performed in 53 (77.9%) and CC-1 in 14 (20.5%). The median DFS was 12 months [95% CI 11.037-12.963 months] and the median OS 25 months [95% CI 18.718-31.282]. The DFS was inferior in patients with right upper quadrant involvement (p = 0.02) and 90-day major morbidity (p = 0.002) and OS inferior in those with 90-day major morbidity (p < 0.001) and mucinous tumors with a PCI > 20. The DFS compares well with results obtained by pioneering teams but we have no "cured" patients. Better patient selection and utilization of systemic therapies could in the future improve the OS. There is a compelling need to identify subgroups of CPM that benefit from the addition of HIPEC to CRS.
