Abstract
BACKGROUND This report describes patterns of disease recurrence after optimal cytoreduction (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal (CRC) and appendiceal adenocarcinoma (AC) origin. METHODS Patients undergoing optimal CRS/HIPEC (2007-2016) at the authors' institution were retrospectively reviewed from a prospectively maintained database. Data regarding disease recurrence were analyzed. RESULTS Of 74 patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC for PC from CRC (n = 46) or AC (n = 28), 49 (66%) had recurrence during a median follow-up period of 39.5 months. The sites of recurrence were peritoneal-only (n = 34, 69%), hematogenous-only (n = 6, 12%), and combined peritoneal and hematogenous (n = 9, 19%) sites. No patients with AC had hematogenous-only recurrence. The median disease-free survival (DFS) time for all the patients was 15 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 12.5-17.5 months). The recurrence rate after CRS/HIPEC was 41% at 1 year, 73% at 3 years, and 76% at 5 years. All the patients with hematogenous-only metastases experienced recurrence within 12 months after CRS/HIPEC. Mucinous or signet ring features predicted peritoneal recurrence (p = 0.041), whereas a complete cytoreduction of 1 was a predictor of early recurrence (p = 0.040). Patients who underwent repeat cytoreduction survived longer than those who received systemic chemotherapy alone. The median survival time after peritoneal-only recurrence was 33 months (95% CI 27.8-38.9 months). CONCLUSION Recurrence for patients with PC is common, even after optimal CRS/HIPEC. Hematogenous-only recurrence occurs early after CRS/HIPEC, suggesting occult disease at the time of treatment and highlighting the need for methods to identify micro-metastases and improve patient selection. Patients experiencing peritoneal-only recurrence had long survival period after CRS/HIPEC, suggesting its effectiveness at controlling peritoneal disease for a time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is standard treatment for peritoneal dissemination from appendiceal cancer (AC); however, its role in high-grade histopathologic subtypes (high-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei [HGMCP] and HGMCP with signet ring cells [HGMCP-S]) is controversial due to their aggressive behavior. This study analyzed clinical outcomes of high-grade AC after CRS/HIPEC. METHODS A prospective database of CRS/HIPEC procedures for HGMCP performed from 1998-2017 was reviewed. Perioperative variables and survival were analyzed. RESULTS Eighty-six HGMCP and 65 HGMCP-S were identified. HGMCP had more positive tumor markers (TM) (CEA/CA-125/CA-19-9) than HGMCP-S (63% vs 40%, p = 0.005). HGMCP had higher Peritoneal Cancer Index (32 vs 26, p = 0.097) and was less likely to have positive lymph nodes (LN) than HGMCP-S (28% vs 69%, p = < 0.001). Complete cytoreduction was achieved in 84% and 83%, respectively. PFS at 3- and 5-years was 59% and 48% for HGMCP vs 31% and 14% for HGMCP-S. Median PFS was 4.3 and 1.6 years, respectively (p < 0.001). OS at 3- and 5-years was 84% and 64% in HGMCP vs 38% and 25% in HGMCP-S. Median OS was 7.5 and 2.2 years, respectively (p < 0.001). LN negative HGMCP-S had longer median PFS and OS than LN positive HGMCP-S (PFS: 3.4 vs 1.5 years, p = 0.03; OS: 5.6 vs 2.1 months, p = 0.021). CONCLUSIONS The aggressive histology of HGMCP-S is associated with poor OS, has fewer abnormal TM, and is more likely to have positive LN. However, CRS/HIPEC can achieve a 5-year survival of 25%, which may improve to 51% with negative LN.

Abstract
The early symptoms of appendiceal cancer may mimic the clinical picture of appendicitis. Most patients are diagnosed incidentally during surgical exploration or late when peritoneal or systemic dissemination has already occurred, as colonoscopy rarely will diagnose an appendiceal cancer. Systemic/extraperitoneal metastases are distinctly unusual for appendiceal mucinous lesions.

Abstract
Purpose Appendiceal neoplasms are heterogeneous and are often treated with chemotherapy similarly to colorectal cancer (CRC). Genomic profiling was performed on 703 appendiceal cancer specimens to compare the mutation profiles of appendiceal subtypes to CRC and other cancers, with the ultimate aim to identify potential biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets. Methods Tumor specimens were submitted to a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments-certified laboratory (Foundation Medicine, Cambridge, MA) for hybrid-capture-based sequencing of 3,769 exons from 315 cancer-related genes and 47 introns of 28 genes commonly rearranged in cancer. Interactions between genotype, histologic subtype, treatment, and overall survival (OS) were analyzed in a clinically annotated subset of 76 cases. Results There were five major histopathologic subtypes: mucinous adenocarcinomas (46%), adenocarcinomas (30%), goblet cell carcinoids (12%), pseudomyxoma peritonei (7.7%), and signet ring cell carcinomas (5.2%). KRAS (35% to 81%) and GNAS (8% to 72%) were the most frequent alterations in epithelial cancers; APC and TP53 mutations were significantly less frequent in appendiceal cancers relative to CRC. Low-grade and high-grade tumors were enriched for GNAS and TP53 mutations, respectively (both χ2 P < .001). GNAS and TP53 were mutually exclusive (Bonferroni corrected P < .001). Tumor grade and TP53 mutation status independently predicted OS. The mutation status of GNAS and TP53 strongly predicted OS (median, 37.1 months for TP53 mutant v 75.8 GNAS-TP53 wild type v 115.5 GNAS mutant; log-rank P = .0031) and performed as well as grade in risk stratifying patients. Conclusion Epithelial appendiceal cancers and goblet cell carcinoids show differences in KRAS and GNAS mutation frequencies and have mutation profiles distinct from CRC. This study highlights the benefit of performing molecular profiling on rare tumors to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers and new therapeutic targets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appendix adenocarcinomas are rare tumors with propensity for peritoneal metastasis. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is an established treatment with curative intent, but, to date, studies reporting survival have been heterogeneous with regard to their patient groups (including other tumor types), interventions (not all patients receiving intraperitoneal chemotherapy), and follow-up (varying surveillance protocols). OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to quantify the impact of this intervention on survival in a homogeneous group of patients with appendix adenocarcinoma receiving standardized treatment and follow-up, and to determine the impact of prognostic indicators on survival. DESIGN This is a retrospective analysis of a prospective database at a national peritoneal tumor center where all patients had their appendix pathology reviewed and management planned by a specialized peritoneal tumor multidisciplinary team. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Data were extracted on prognostic indicators including peritoneal cancer index, completeness of cytoreduction score, preoperative tumor markers, and histological features. Overall and disease event-free survival from the date of intervention were evaluated using Kaplan Meier curves and univariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 65 patients underwent cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for appendix adenocarcinoma between 2005 and 2015. Median follow-up was 44.3 months. The overall survival was 55.5% and disease event-free survival was 36.1% (5-year rate). Peritoneal Cancer Index <7, complete cytoreduction score of 0, and preoperative CEA of <6 were all associated with significantly higher overall and disease event-free survival. CA19-9 <38 and CA125 <31 were not associated with a significantly higher overall or disease event-free survival. LIMITATIONS The sample size was limited because of the rarity of this tumor type. CONCLUSIONS This study quantifies the impact of cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy on overall and disease event-free survival for appendix adenocarcinoma, identifying key prognostic indicators that may guide treatment. It supports the referral of these rare tumors to specialist centers with appropriate expertise for initial management and follow-up. See Video Abstract at http://links.lww.com/DCR/A595.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appendiceal cancer is a rare disease that has proven difficult to study in prospective trials. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an established therapy for peritoneal dissemination from appendiceal cancer. The optimal chemotherapeutic agent to use in the HIPEC is not clear. Mitomycin has long been used, however, our previous phase I experience and European retrospective studies suggest oxaliplatin as an alternative. Therefore, we initiated a multicenter randomized trial to compare mitomycin with oxaliplatin HIPEC for appendiceal cancer. STUDY DESIGN Patients with mucinous appendiceal neoplasms with evidence of peritoneal dissemination underwent cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC using a closed technique for 120 minutes. Patients were randomized intraoperatively to HIPEC using mitomycin (40 mg) or oxaliplatin (200 mg/M2). Follow-up included daily blood counts and toxicity assessments. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-one analytic patients were accrued to the trial during 6 years at 3 sites. The patients were 57% female, with a mean age of 55.3 years (range 22 to 82 years). The disease was low grade in 77% and high grade in 23%. There were no significant differences in hemoglobin or platelet counts. The WBC was significantly lower in the mitomycin group between postoperative days 5 and 10. Overall and disease-free survival rates at 3 years were similar at 83.7% and 66.8% for mitomycin and 86.9% and 64.8% for oxaliplatin. CONCLUSIONS This represents the first completed prospective randomized trial for cancer of the appendix, and shows that multicenter trials for this disease are feasible. Both mitomycin and oxaliplatin are associated with minor hematologic toxicity. However, mitomycin has slightly higher hematologic toxicity and lower quality of life than oxaliplatin in HIPEC. Consequently, oxaliplatin might be preferred in patients with leukopenia and mitomycin preferred in patients with thrombocytopenia due to earlier chemotherapy.

Abstract
Despite advances in our understanding of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and their relationship to the pseudomyxoma peritonei syndrome, the classification of mucinous tumors of the appendix is still confusing. This review will provide an update on the various classification systems that have been recently proposed for appendiceal mucinous neoplasia, with a particular emphasis on how to handle and report the histologic findings for these tumors using the newly published Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) and American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) eighth edition guidelines. A simplified approach to diagnostic reporting of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms based on the 3-tier AJCC grading scheme is detailed and specific criteria for assessing grade in appendiceal mucinous neoplasia will be outlined. In addition, histologic mimics of appendiceal mucinous neoplasia and how to distinguish these mimics from mucinous neoplasia will be discussed. Finally, despite improvements in diagnostic terminology, significant challenges in classifying appendiceal mucinous neoplasia persist and diagnostic strategies will be detailed to assist practicing pathologists in these challenging scenarios.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) results from perforated appendiceal tumors. It is usually diagnosed preoperatively by imaging. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), although aggressive long procedure with high complications rate, was considered the optimal treatment. This study is aiming to study the role of CRS and HIPEC in the management of PMP and assess the outcome. METHODS This is a retrospective study which was conducted at King Faisal Hospital and Research Center, a tertiary care hospital during the period from November 2008 to June 2016. Approval of the Research Advisory Council was obtained. Forty-one procedures of CRS and HIPEC were performed in 38 patients. Using the open abdomen technique, CRS was performed using standard peritonectomy procedures and visceral resections directed toward the complete elimination of tumors from abdominopelvic cavity. HIPEC was performed using mitomycin C in a dose of 30 mg/m2 and allowed to circulate in abdominopelvic cavity for 90 min at 41.0 to 42.2 °C. RESULTS Forty-one procedures were performed in 38 patients. Three procedures were done as repeat CRS and HIPEC. No perioperative mortality. Cystoscopy and bilateral ureteric stents in 35 procedures (85.5%). Hospital stay (range 9-85 days) average is 21 days. Follow up period is 1-84 months, and median follow up is 54 months. Five-year survival rate is 92%. Median 5-year disease-free survival rate is 60%. Two patients died during the follow up period by septic shock and one patient died from disease progression. CONCLUSION CRS and HIPEC is well-tolerated and feasible management for PMP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) are a rare and heterogeneous disease for which clinical management is challenging. We aim to review the literature regarding modalities of treatment to guide the management of AMNs. METHODS AND REVIEW CRITERIA We conducted a PubMed search in February 2016 for English-language publications, using the terms "appendiceal," "appendix," "carcinoma," "cancer," "mucinous," "treatment," "genes," "target," "genomic," and terms listed in the articles' subheadings. Published reports and abstracts from the American Society of Clinical Oncology meetings were also searched. RESULTS In this review, we summarize current data and controversies in AMN classification, clinical presentation, molecular alterations, treatment outcomes with regard to cytoreductive surgery, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and the role of systemic chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Appendiceal mucinous neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of tumors with a rising incidence. Treatment is based on stage and histology. Low-grade tumors are treated surgically with resection of the primary site in early stage disease, or peritoneal debulking and HIPEC in patients with advanced stage disease. Treatment of high-grade tumors requires further prospective trials, and options include debulking surgery and HIPEC with or without preoperative chemotherapy. Trials evaluating novel therapies based on the molecular profiling of AMN tumors are needed to evaluate therapeutic options in patients who are not surgical candidates. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE This review provides a reference to guide gastroenterologists, pathologists, surgeons, and oncologists in the management of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs), a rare and heterogeneous disease with no consensus on histologic classification or guidelines for treatment algorithms. This review summarizes all AMN classifications and proposes a treatment algorithm based on stage and histology of disease.

Retrospective study of nonmucinous appendiceal adenocarcinomas: role of systemic chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery. BMC Cancer 2017; 17:331. [PMID: 28506255 PMCID: PMC5433007 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-017-3327-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2016] [Accepted: 05/05/2017] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Mucinous appendiceal adenocarcinomas (AAs) are the most common histological subset of AAs. Nonmucinous AAs have been infrequently studied. We performed a single-center retrospective study to investigate this histological subtype. Methods We reviewed 172 patient records with nonmucinous AAs treated at MD Anderson Cancer Center from Jan, 1990 to Jun, 2015 and recorded patient demographics, tumor characteristics, treatment, and outcomes. Response rate (RR) was assessed semi-quantitatively (response/no response) according to the treating physician’s findings. Survival outcomes were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method and compared using the log-rank test. Results Median age at diagnosis was 52.9 years. Most patients presented with advanced-stage disease: stage I-II (35%), stage III (15%), and stage IV (50%). Moderate and poorly differentiated histology was seen in 56% and 44% tumors, respectively. Median overall survival (OS) of all patients was stage-dependent and was 88.5, 39.2, and 28.3 months for stages I-II, stage III, and stage IV disease, respectively (p < 0.0001). In patients with metastatic disease, only 10% had extraperitoneal disease without peritoneal involvement. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) was attempted in 31/69 (45%) patients with disease confined to the peritoneum. Complete CRS was achieved in 18. Median OS for patients receiving complete CRS was 48.6 months. Systemic chemotherapy was administered to 109 (86%) patients with metastatic disease; a large majority of patients received either an oxaliplatin-based (55%) or irinotecan-based (27%) regimen. Chemotherapy resulted in a semi-quantitative RR of 54% and median time to progression (TTP) of 9.4 months (95% CI, 8.03–11.50). Patients who received combination chemotherapy (either oxaliplatin or irinotecan-based) showed significantly longer median OS (p = 0.003), compared to those receiving fluoropyrimidine monotherapy. Conclusions This is one of the first studies to report specifically on nonmucinous AAs. Nonmucinous AAs presented with moderate or poorly differentiated histology with a predilection for peritoneal metastasis. Systemic chemotherapy is active in this AA subtype. Though CRS was infrequently used, complete CRS appears beneficial and warrants further investigation.

Histological Subtype Remains a Significant Prognostic Factor for Survival Outcomes in Patients With Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm With Peritoneal Dissemination. Dis Colon Rectum 2017; 60:360-367.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been increasingly recognized that appendiceal mucinous neoplasm with peritoneal dissemination is not a homogenous disease. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the impact of different histological subtypes on survival of a large cohort of patients with appendiceal mucinous neoplasms uniformly treated by cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. DESIGN This was a retrospective study of prospectively collected data of patients with peritoneal dissemination of appendiceal neoplasm who underwent cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. SETTING The study was conducted by 1 surgical team at St. George Hospital. PATIENTS A total of 444 patients formed the cohort of this study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Histological diagnoses were categorized based on Carr criteria to include acellular mucin, disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis, peritoneal mucinous neoplasms without signet ring cells, and peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis with signet cells. RESULTS Patients with low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms with neoplastic epithelium absent tended to have lower CEA, CA19-9, and CA125 levels preoperatively (p = 0.109, 0.008, and 0.034). Factor analysis showed that histological diagnosis was an independent prognostic factor for survival outcomes (HR = 3.13 (95% CI, 2.34-4.39); p < 0.001), adjusted for peritoneal cancer index >20, completeness of cytoreductive score ≥2, use of early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, transfusion units, CEA >7.0 mg/L, CA19-9 >24.0 U/mL, and CA125 >24 U/mL. LIMITATIONS This study was limited by its retrospective nature, lack of uniform classifications of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms in early years, and the heterogeneity of this study cohort given the long study period. CONCLUSIONS Histological subtype remains a significant prognostic factor for survival outcomes in patients with appendiceal mucinous neoplasms. It should be taken into account when selecting patients for cytoreductive surgery, tailoring appropriate adjuvant therapies and follow-up surveillance plan.

Acute appendicitis, inflammatory appendiceal mass and the risk of a hidden malignant tumor: a systematic review of the literature. World J Emerg Surg 2017; 12:12.

Abstract
Introduction Acute appendicitis is significantly common. Despite the increased use of computed tomography, the number of perforated cases has been stable in the past three decades. Between 2% and 6% of patients with acute appendicitis present appendiceal mass, often described as inflammatory phlegmon or abscess. Malignant tumors are confirmed by pathological analysis in 0.9–1.4% of all appendectomies performed to treat acute appendicitis. However, recent series demonstrate an elevated incidence of malignancies, ranging from 5.9 to 12%, in patients with inflammatory appendiceal mass. Methods The analysis was based on a systematic review of the literature. The articles were searched in PubMed for the period from 1987 to 2016. Articles presenting the incidence of the hidden malignancy among patients with appendiceal inflammatory mass were selected. Variables as age, interval appendectomy rate, the incidence of neoplasm, time to surgery, minimally invasive assessment, histology, right colectomy rate and morbidity were analyzed. Results A total of 13.244 patients were described as presenting acute appendicitis. Appendiceal tumor is present in approximately 1% of the appendectomies, while the rate of neoplasm varies from 10 to 29% in patients presenting appendiceal inflammatory mass. Interval appendectomies, despite been the minority of the procedures, disregard the higher morbidity associated with right sided colectomies. The review of literature also describes oncologic, histologic and clinical aspects of patients presenting appendiceal neoplasm, describing the most frequent histologic subtypes of this illness. Conclusion Hidden appendiceal neoplasm in acute appendicitis are rare, fortunately. However, its incidence is much higher in patients presenting appendiceal inflammatory mass. Hence, interval appendectomy should be considered in this subgroup of patients.

The impact of stage, grade, and mucinous histology on the efficacy of systemic chemotherapy in adenocarcinomas of the appendix: Analysis of the National Cancer Data Base. Cancer 2015; 122:213-21. [PMID: 26506400 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.29744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 96] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2015] [Revised: 08/22/2015] [Accepted: 09/02/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adenocarcinomas of the appendix represent a heterogeneous disease depending on the presence of mucinous histology, histologic grade, and stage. In the current study, the authors sought to explore the interplay of these factors with systemic chemotherapy in a large population data set. METHODS Patients in the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) who were diagnosed with mucinous, nonmucinous, and signet ring cell-type appendiceal neoplasms from 1985 through 2006 were selected. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models were developed. RESULTS A total of 11,871 patients met the inclusion criteria for the current study: 50.3% had mucinous neoplasms, 40.5% had nonmucinous neoplasms, and 9.2% had signet ring cell-type neoplasms. The 5-year overall survival (OS) stratified by grade was similar among patients with American Joint Committee on Cancer stage I to stage III disease but not for those with stage IV disease. The median OS for patients with stage IV mucinous and nonmucinous tumors was 6.4 years and 2.3 years, respectively, for those with well differentiated histology (P<.0001) and was 1.5 years and 0.8 years, respectively, for those with poorly differentiated histology (P<.0001). In multivariable modeling for stage I to III disease, adjuvant chemotherapy improved OS for both mucinous and nonmucinous histologies, with hazard ratios (HRs) of 0.78 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 0.68-0.89 [P = .0002]) and 0.83 (95% CI, 0.74-0.94 [P = .002]), respectively. For patients with stage IV disease, systemic chemotherapy significantly improved OS for those with nonmucinous (HR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.64-0.82 [P<.0001]) but not mucinous (HR, 0.95; 95% CI, 0.86-1.04 [P = .2) histologies, although this was grade-dependent. The median OS for chemotherapy versus no chemotherapy was 6.4 years versus 6.5 years (P value not significant) for patients with mucinous, well-differentiated tumors and 1.6 years versus 1.0 years (P = .0007) for patients with mucinous, poorly differentiated tumors. CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant chemotherapy demonstrated a significant OS benefit regardless of histology. However, for patients with stage IV disease, the benefit of systemic chemotherapy varied by tumor histology and grade, with patients with well-differentiated, mucinous, appendiceal adenocarcinomas deriving no survival benefit from systemic chemotherapy.

Abstract
Until recently, a diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis was uniformly accompanied by a grim prognosis that was typically measured in weeks to months. Consequently, the management of carcinomatosis revolves largely around palliation of symptoms such as bowel obstruction, nausea, pain, fatigue, and cachexia. A prior lack of effective treatment options created the nihilistic view that currently exists and persists despite improvements in the efficacy of systemic therapy and the evolution of multimodality approaches including surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. This article reviews the evolution and current state of treatment options for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. In addition, it highlights recent advances in understanding the molecular biology of carcinomatosis and the focus of current and future clinical trials. Finally, this article provides practical management options for the palliation of common complications of carcinomatosis. It is hoped that the reader will recognize that carcinomatosis is no longer an imminent death sentence and that through continued research and therapeutic innovation, clinicians can make an even greater impact on this form of metastatic cancer.

Abstract
Due to the anatomical peculiarity of the appendix, diagnosis of tumors arising from this area can be challenging by clinicoradiologic means. We report a case of a rare primary appendiceal signet ring carcinoma with an uncommon presentation. An 86-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with subacute epigastric pain. Computed tomography demonstrated bowel wall thickening with fat stranding in the ileocecal region. The leading diagnostic consideration was inflammatory bowel disease. Upon colonoscopy, a swollen, distorted ileocecal valve was identified. The remaining colon was otherwise unremarkable. Extensive biopsy sampling of the ileocecal region and colon was performed. A lymphangitic signet ring carcinoma within the ileocecal region was diagnosed on biopsy; there was no dysplasia or carcinoma of the remaining biopsies. By cytomorphology and immunoprofile, a lymphangitic signet ring carcinoma of appendiceal origin was the primary consideration, further confirmed upon subsequent laparotomy. This case represents an unusual pattern of appendiceal tumor spread with localized, lymphangitic involvement, creating a milieu which closely simulates Crohn’s disease on imaging modalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of SC before CRS/HIPEC for patients with PMCA is unclear. This study explores the effect of SC prior to CRS/HIPEC on overall survival (OS) in patients with PMCA. METHODS 72 patients with recently diagnosed PMCA who underwent CRS/HIPEC were identified from a prospective database. Thirty patients had SC before CRS/HIPEC (Group 1) and 42 did not (Group 2). Patients who were referred to our center after multiple lines of SC were excluded from this analysis. OS was estimated. RESULTS Median follow-up was 3.2 years. Groups were similar regarding lymph node positivity, postoperative SC and rate of complete cytoreduction. Twenty-four (80%) patients in Group 1 and 21 (50%) in Group 2 had high grade histology (HG) (p = 0.01). OS from CRS/HIPEC at 1, 2, and 3 years was 93, 68, 51% in Group 1 and 82, 64, 60% in Group 2, respectively (p = 0.74). Among HG patients 3-year survival was 36% in the SC group vs. 35% in the group without SC (p = 0.67). The 3-year OS for patients with low grade (LG) tumors was 100% in the SC group vs. 79% in the group with no prior SC (p = 0.26). Among patients with signet ring cell (SRC) histology, 1, 2 and 3-year survival was 94, 67 and 22% in the SC group vs. 43, 14, 14% in the group with no SC, respectively (p = 0.028). There were only 6 patients with LG PMCA who received prior SC. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative SC could improve the prognosis of patients with high-grade PMCA with SRC histology.

Improved Survival with Anti-VEGF Therapy in the Treatment of Unresectable Appendiceal Epithelial Neoplasms. Ann Surg Oncol 2015; 22:2578-84.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Currently, cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy are accepted treatments for surgically resectable appendiceal epithelial neoplasms. However, for nonsurgical candidates, systemic treatment may be considered. The purpose of this analysis was to determine the benefit of biologic therapy (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor) in addition to systemic chemotherapy in this select patient population. METHODS The MD Anderson Cancer Center tumor registry was retrospectively reviewed for systemic treatment-naive appendiceal epithelial neoplasm patients registered between January 2000 to July 2007 for prior cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy status, histologic grade, signet ring pathology, systemic chemotherapy, biologic therapy, tumor markers (carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen [CA] 125, and/or CA19-9), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and disease control rate. Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank, and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS A total of 353 patients were identified; 130 patients met the inclusion criteria. Fifty-nine patients received biologic therapy. The use of the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) agent bevacizumab improved both OS (42 months vs. 76 months, hazard ratio 0.49 [95 % confidence interval 0.25-0.94] P = 0.03) and PFS (4 months vs. 9 months, hazard ratio 0.69 [95 % confidence interval 0.47-0.995], P = 0.047) for all histologic subtypes. Moderately differentiated tumors had an improved PFS relative to well-differentiated tumors, 9 months versus 3 months (P = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy appears to play a role in surgically unresectable appendiceal epithelial neoplasm patients, with an improvement in PFS and OS. Anti-VEGF agents should be strongly considered in the management of patients with higher-grade appendiceal epithelial neoplasms who are suboptimal candidates for surgical resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) used to treat peritoneal surface disease (PSD) from appendiceal cancer have shown variability in survival outcomes. The primary goal of this study was to determine predictors of surgical morbidity and overall survival. The secondary goal was to describe the impact of nodal status on survival after CRS/HIPEC for PSD from low-grade appendiceal (LGA) and high-grade appendiceal (HGA) primary lesions. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 1,069 procedures from a prospective database was performed. Patient characteristics, tumor grade, nodal status, performance status, resection status, morbidity, mortality, and survival were reviewed. RESULTS The study identified 481 CRS/HIPEC procedures: 317 (77.3 %) for LGA and 93 (22.7 %) for HGA lesions. The median follow-up period was 44.4 months, and the 30-day major morbidity and mortality rates were respectively 27.8 and 2.7 %. Major morbidity was jointly predicted by incomplete cytoreduction (p = 0.0037), involved nodes (p < 0.0001), and comorbidities (p = 0.003). Multivariate negative predictors of survival included positive nodal status (p = 0.003), incomplete cytoreduction (p < 0.0001), and preoperative chemotherapy (p = 0.04) in LGA patients and incomplete cytoreduction (p = 0.0003) and preoperative chemotherapy (p = 0.0064) in HGA patients. After complete cytoreduction, median survival was worse for patients with positive nodes than for those with negative nodes in LGA (85 months vs not reached [82 % alive at 90 months]; p = 0.002) and HGA (30 vs 153 months; p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Positive nodes are associated with decreased survival not only for HGA patients but also for LGA patients even after complete cytoreduction. Nodal status further stratifies histologic grade as a prognostic indicator of survival. Patients with node-negative HGA primary lesions who receive a complete cytoreduction may experience survival comparable with that for LGA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The role of systemic chemotherapy (SC) in conjunction with cytoreductive surgery (CS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in appendiceal mucinous carcinoma peritonei (MCP) is unknown. METHODS A retrospective review (1999-2011) of MCP patients who had undergone CS/HIPEC with or without perioperative SC. RESULTS Twenty-two low-grade MCP patients treated with CS/HIPEC and SC were matched to patients who received CS/HIPEC alone. Median overall survival (OS) was 107 months for patients treated with perioperative SC compared to 72 without (P = 0.46). CS/HIPEC was performed on 109 patients with high-grade MCP: 70 were treated with perioperative SC, while 39 were not. Median OS (22.1 vs. 19.6 months, P = 0.74) and progression-free survival (PFS) (10.9 vs. 7.0 months, P = 0.47) were similar in patients treated with SC compared to CS/HIPEC alone. Progression while on pre-operative SC was seen in eight patients (17%), while four (8%) had a partial response. Treatment with post-operative SC was associated with longer PFS (13.6 months) compared to pre-operative SC (6.8 months, P < 0.01) and CS/HIPEC alone (7.0 months, P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Post-operative SC appears to improve PFS in patients with high-grade appendiceal MCP treated with CS/HIPEC. In contrast, there is no evidence to support the routine use of perioperative SC in low-grade disease.

Abstract
Significance of signet ring cells in mucinous adenocarcinoma of the peritoneum from appendiceal origin has never been specifically studied. We retrospectively reviewed cases of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the peritoneum from appendiceal origin (n = 55) and collected clinical follow-up data. Signet ring cells were identified in 29 of 55 cases. No low-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma case (n = 11) had signet ring cells, whereas 29 of 44 high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma cases did. Cases of high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma were subdivided into 3 groups: (1) high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma without signet ring cells (n = 15), (2) high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cells only within mucin pools (n = 20), and (3) high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cells invading tissue (n = 9). Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival were subsequently evaluated. Five-year OS for cases of high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma without signet ring cells and high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cells within mucin pools were similar at 31.8% (SE, 14.4%) and 35.8% (SE, 13.9%), respectively. A significant survival difference was seen for cases of high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cells invading tissue with a median OS of 0.5 years versus 2.9 and 2.4 years (P = .04 and P = .03), respectively, for cases of high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma without signet ring cells and high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cells within mucin pools. Finding signet ring cells floating in extracellular mucin pools made no prognostic difference when compared with cases of high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma without signet ring cells. In contrast, high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma with signet ring cells invading tissue was significant for worse survival, and thus, we propose reporting signet ring cell tissue invasion particularly when extensive.

Abstract
An elderly man presented to the emergency department following a motorbike accident. He had sustained chest injuries and a grade 1 splenic laceration. He had a moderate amount of free fluid and some omental standing on trauma CT, which was concerning for occult malignancy. A follow-up CT 4 weeks later showed a marked progression of the ascites and omental stranding. Ascitic tap was negative for malignancy. Tumour markers were normal. The patient developed a proximal small bowel obstruction which appeared to be related to this omental caking in the left upper quadrant on CT. Gastroduodenoscopy did not display any mass lesion. There was an external compression of the duodenum which could not be traversed with the scope. Laparoscopy showed a widespread peritoneal carcinomatosis. Biopsies of the omentum and peritoneum confirmed metastatic signet ring cell carcinoma (cytokeratin 7 and cytokeratin 20 positive). The patient was palliated but died 2 weeks after his diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CS) combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) is a multimodal approach to the treatment of peritoneal metastases (PM) of lower gastrointestinal origin. This study examines patient outcomes and critically evaluates its patterns of recurrences relative to the site of metastatic origin. METHODS Patients treated with CS/IPC from 2000 to 2012 where PM arose from a primary tumour of the appendix, colon and rectum were identified from a prospective database for retrospective evaluation. The primary end points were survival (overall and disease-free), and secondary end points include patterns of recurrence and prognostic factors associated with overall outcomes. RESULTS Two hundred and eleven patients were followed up for a median of 23.3 months (range 1-156). Overall median survival was 46.8 months, and the 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rates were 87, 56 and 42 %, respectively. The 5-year survival of patients with appendiceal, colonic and rectal PM was 55, 33 and 20 %, respectively. Tumour origin was the only independent prognostic factor associated with overall survival (p = 0.03). Recurrences were more common in patients of colorectal origin over appendiceal origin (p < 0.001) and were more likely to be of a systemic nature (p = 0.05). CONCLUSION CS/IPC provides an option for improved survival in patients with PM of lower gastrointestinal origin and appears to be most promising in patients with disease of appendiceal origin.

Abstract
There is now a considerable body of published evidence supporting the use of a multimodal approach consisting of cytoreductive surgery (CS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of peritoneal metastases (PM) arising from selected gastrointestinal tract malignancies. In the absence of systemic metastases, it is thought that disease confined to the peritoneum may be eradicated through optimum cytoreduction. This review critically evaluates the current body of published evidence for the use of CS/HIPEC in the treatment of advanced colorectal, appendiceal and gastric cancer. Although its role remains less defined in patients with gastric PM, current evidence provides a compelling argument for its use in PM of colorectal and appendiceal origin. With a low mortality and acceptable morbidity rate, CS/HIPEC may offer hope of long-term survival and cure in a defined group of patients with this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) achieves disease control within the peritoneum but recurrences occur. This study examines the outcomes of iterative CRS (iCRS) HIPEC for treatment of recurrent peritoneal metastases. METHODS Patients who underwent iCRS in a single tertiary referral center were identified from a prospective database. Safety analysis was performed and clinicopathological variables were analyzed to assess factors predictive of major morbidity and survival. RESULTS The demographics of patients who underwent primary cytoreductive surgery (pCRS) (n = 466) and iCRS (n = 79) were balanced between groups. pCRS was shown to require more blood transfusion (P = 0.019) and albumin use (P = 0.013). The mortality and major complication rates were comparable (1.2% vs. 0%; P = 0.600, and 42% vs. 41%; P = 0.806). Residual pneumothorax occurred more frequently after pCRS (12% vs. 4%; P = 0.030). Factors associated with major complications after iCRS include use of HIPEC (P = 0.042) and length of hospital stay (P = 0.024). The overall median survival was 48 months and 5-year survival was 34%. By cancer type, the 3-year survival was 0%, 74%, 80%, and 72% for colorectal, appendiceal pseudomyxoma, peritoneal mesothelioma, and appendix cancer, respectively. Independent predictors of survival include age (P = 0.049), interval between pCRS and iCRS (P = 0.008), small bowel resection (P < 0.001), and use of HIPEC (P = 0.005). CONCLUSION Iterative CRS achieved further peritoneal disease control without adverse effects on morbidity. Patients with appendiceal tumors and peritoneal mesothelioma appear to benefit most after iCRS. Intraoperative HIPEC remains important in the repetoire of managing these patients.
