Abstract
This manuscript reports the results of an international consensus on technologies of hyperthermic intraperitoneal perioperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) performed with the following goals: To provide recommendations for the technological parameters to perform HIPEC. To identify the role of heat and its application forms in treating peritoneal metastases. To provide recommendations regarding the correct dosimetry of intraperitoneal chemotherapy drugs and their carrier solutions. To identify for each intraperitoneal chemotherapy regimen the best dosimetry and fractionation. To identify areas of future research pertaining to HIPEC technology and regimens. This consensus was performed by the Delphi technique and comprised two rounds of voting. In total, 96 of 102 eligible panelists replied to both Delphi rounds (94.1%) with a consensus of 39/51 questions on HIPEC technical aspects. Among the recommendations that met with the strongest consensus were those concerning the dose of HIPEC drug established in mg/m2, a target temperature of at least 42°C, and the use of at least three temperature probes to pursue hyperthermia. Ninety minutes as the ideal HIPEC duration seemed to make consensus. These results should be considered when designing new clinical trials in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies.

Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) has now been accepted as an integral component in the management of gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers with peritoneal metastases. Since the adoption of CRS is influenced by access to advanced medical facilities, trained multidisciplinary teams, and funding, there is wide variability in incorporation of CRS into routine clinical practice between high- versus low- and middle-income countries. This review highlights the global trends in the adoption of CRS for peritoneal malignancies with a specific focus on the establishment of CRS programs and barriers to incorporate CRS into routine clinical care in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract
Peritoneal metastasis is a malignant disease which originated from several gastrointestinal and gynecological carcinomas and has been leading to a suffering condition in patients for decades. Currently, as people have gradually become more aware of the severity of peritoneal carcinomatosis, new molecular mechanisms for targeting and new treatments have been proposed. However, due to the uncertainty of influencing factors involved and a lack of a standardized procedure for this treatment, as well as a need for more clinical data for specific evaluation, more research is needed, both for preventing and treating. We aim to summarize backgrounds, mechanisms and treatments in this area and conclude limitations or new aspects for treatments.

Abstract
Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a promising approach for the management of peritoneal carcinomatosis, but is associated with significant morbidity and prolonged hospital stay. Herein, we review the impact of Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol on length of stay (LOS) and early complications in patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis. Methods: PubMed and Embase were searched for studies comparing ERAS protocol with control for CRS + HIPEC. Mean difference (MD) and risk ratios (RR) were calculated for LOS and complications respectively. Results: Six retrospective studies were included. Meta-analysis indicated statistically significant reduction in LOS with ERAS (MD: −2.82 95% CI: −3.79, −1.85 I2 = 29% p < 0.00001). Our results demonstrated significantly reduced risk of Calvien Dindo grade III/IV complications with the use of ERAS protocol as compared to the control group (RR: 0.60 95% CI: 0.41, 0.87 I2 = 0% p = 0.007). Pooled analysis of limited studies demonstrated no statistically significant difference in the risk of reoperation (RR: 1.04 95% CI: 0.54, 2.03 I2 = 50% p = 0.90) readmission (RR: 0.55 95% CI: 0.21, 1.49 I2 = 0% p = 0.24), acute kidney injury (RR: 0.55 95% CI: 0.28, 1.10 I2 = 0% p = 0.09) or mortality (RR: 0.62 95% CI: 0.17, 2.26 I2 = 0% p = 0.46) between the study groups. Conclusion: For CRS + HIPEC, ERAS is associated with significantly reduced LOS along with lower incidence of complications. Limited data suggest that use of ERAS protocol is not associated with increased readmission, reoperation, and mortality rates in these patients. There is a need for randomized controlled trials to corroborate the current evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastases (PM) are a form of metastatic spread affecting approximately 5-15% of colon cancer patients. The attitude towards management of peritoneal metastases has evolved from therapeutic nihilism towards a more comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, in large part due to the development of cytoreductive surgery (CRS), usually coupled with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), along with the constant improvement of systemic chemotherapy of colorectal cancer. Several landmark studies, including 5 randomized controlled trials have marked the development and refinement of surgical approaches to treating colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases. METHODS This review article focuses on these landmark studies and their influence in 4 key areas: the evidence supporting surgical resection of peritoneal metastases, the identification and standardization of important prognostic variables influencing patient selection, the role of surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy in prevention of colorectal PM and the role of intraperitoneal chemotherapy as an adjuvant to surgical resection. RESULTS These landmark studies indicate that surgical resection of colorectal PM should be considered as a therapeutic option in appropriately selected patients and when adequate surgical expertise is available. Standardized prognostic variables including the Peritoneal Cancer Index and the Completeness of Cytoreduction Score should be used for evaluating both indications and outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence does not support the use of second look surgery with oxaliplatin HIPEC or prophylactic oxaliplatin HIPEC in patients with high risk colon cancer nor the use of oxaliplatin HIPEC with CRS of colorectal PM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been associated with significant morbidity and increased hospital length of stay (LOS). The authors report their experience after implementation of an enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) program for CRS-HIPEC. METHODS Outcomes were analyzed before and after ERAS implementation. The components of ERAS included preoperative carbohydrate loading, goal-directed fluid management, multimodal pain management, minimization of narcotic use, avoidance of nasogastric tubes, and early mobilization and feeding. RESULTS Of 168 procedures, 88 (52%) were in the pre-ERAS group and 80 (48%) were in the post-ERAS group. The two groups did not differ in terms of age, sex, comorbidities, peritoneal carcinomatosis index scores, completeness of cytoreduction, or operative time. The ERAS patients received fewer fluids intraoperatively (mean, 4.2 vs 6.4 L; p < 0.01). The mean LOS was 7.9 days post-ERAS compared with 10.0 days pre-ERAS (p = 0.015). Clavien-Dindo complications classified as grade ≥ 3 were lower after ERAS (23.7% vs 38.6%; p = 0.04). Moreover, the readmission rates remained the same (16.2% vs 13.6%; p = 0.635). CONCLUSIONS Implementation of an ERAS program for patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC is feasible and not associated with an increase in overall major complications or readmissions. These data support incorporation of ERAS protocols for CRS-HIPEC procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is a common event for end-stage gastrointestinal cancer patients. Previous studies had demonstrated manifestations and clinical management of MBO with mixed malignancies. There still lack reports of the surgical treatment of MBO.
AIM To analyze the short-term outcomes and prognosis of palliative surgery for MBO caused by gastrointestinal cancer.
METHODS A retrospective chart review of 61 patients received palliative surgery between January 2016 to October 2018 was performed, of which 31 patients underwent massive debulking surgery (MDS) and 30 underwent ostomy/by-pass surgery (OBS). The 60-d symptom palliation rate, 30-d morbidity and mortality, and overall survival rates were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS The overall symptom palliation rate was 75.4% (46/61); patients in the MDS group had significantly higher symptom palliation rate than OBS group (90% vs 61.2%, P = 0.016). Patients with colorectal cancer who were in the MDS group showed significantly higher symptom improvement rates compared to the OBS group (overall, 76.4%; MDS, 61.5%; OBS, 92%; P = 0.019). However, patients with gastric cancer did not show a significant difference in symptom palliation rate between the MDS and OBS groups (OBS, 60%; MDS, 80%; P = 1.0). The median survival time in the MDS group was significantly longer than in the OBS group (10.9 mo vs 5.3 mo, P = 0.05).
CONCLUSION For patients with MBO caused by peritoneal metastatic colorectal cancer, MDS can improve symptom palliation rates and prolong survival, without increasing mortality and morbidity rates.

Abstract
Colorectal carcinoma is among the most common types of cancers. With this disease, diffuse scattering in the abdominal area (peritoneal carcinosis) often occurs before diagnosis, making surgical removal of the entire malignant tissue impossible due to a large number of tumor nodules. Previous treatment options include radiation and its combination with intraperitoneal heat-induced chemotherapy (HIPEC). Both options have strong side effects and are often poor in therapeutic efficacy. Tumor cells often grow and proliferate dysregulated, with enzymes of the protein kinase family often playing a crucial role. The present study investigated whether a combination of protein kinase inhibitors and low-dose induction of oxidative stress (using hydrogen peroxide, H2O2) has an additive cytotoxic effect on murine, colorectal tumor cells (CT26). Protein kinase inhibitors from a library of 80 substances were used to investigate colorectal cancer cells for their activity, morphology, and immunogenicity (immunogenic cancer cell death, ICD) upon mono or combination. Toxic compounds identified in 2D cultures were confirmed in 3D cultures, and additive cytotoxicity was identified for the substances lavendustin A, GF109203X, and rapamycin. Toxicity was concomitant with cell cycle arrest, but except HMGB1, no increased expression of immunogenic markers was identified with the combination treatment. The results were validated for GF109203X and rapamycin but not lavendustin A in the 3D model of different colorectal (HT29, SW480) and pancreatic cancer cell lines (MiaPaca, Panc01). In conclusion, our in vitro data suggest that combining oxidative stress with chemotherapy would be conceivable to enhance antitumor efficacy in HIPEC.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) was previously considered an incurable disease with a poor survival outcome. As our understanding of its biology evolved, the paradigm of the management of PC from colorectal cancer (CRC) has changed, including the combination of macroscopic disease control, cytoreductive surgery (CRS), maximal regional chemotherapy to treat residual microscopic disease, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). As with many surgical innovations, CRS with HIPEC has evolved faster than data to support it, leaving many skeptics and critics. This review highlights the recent evidence of current practice and outcome of CRS with HIPEC. Furthermore, it also summarizes the ongoing clinical trials and potential future progress of this treatment modality.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) is an effective treatment option for selected patients with peritoneal metastases (PM), but national utilization patterns are poorly understood. The objectives of this study were to (1) describe population-based trends in national utilization of CRS/IPC; (2) define the most common indications for the procedure; and (3) characterize the types of hospitals performing the procedure. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample (NIS) was used to identify patients from 2006 to 2015 who underwent CRS/IPC, and to calculate national estimates of procedural frequency and oncologic indication. Hospitals performing CRS/IPC were classified based on size and teaching status. RESULTS The estimated annual number of CRS/IPC cases increased significantly from 189 to 1540 (p < 0.001). Overall, appendiceal cancer was the most common indication (25.7%), followed by ovarian cancer (23.3%), colorectal cancer (22.5%), and unspecified PM (15.0%). Remaining cases (13.5%) were performed for other indications. Most cases were performed in large teaching hospitals (65.9%), compared with smaller teaching hospitals (25.1%), large non-teaching hospitals (5.3%), or small non-teaching hospitals (3.2%). Patients were more likely to undergo CRS/IPC without a diagnosis based on level I evidence (appendiceal, ovarian, or colorectal) at large non-academic hospitals (odds ratio 2.00, 95% confidence interval 1.18-3.38, p = 0.010) compared with large academic hospitals. CONCLUSIONS Utilization of CRS/IPC is increasing steadily in the US, is performed at many types of facilities, and often for a variety of indications that are not supported by high-level evidence. Given associated morbidity of CRS/IPC, a national registry dedicated to cases of IPC is necessary to further evaluate use and outcomes.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Currently, rates of referral of patients with peritoneal metastasis in the United States who qualify for cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) are low, in part because of the misperception of high morbidity and mortality rates. However, patients requiring major gastrointestinal surgical procedures with similar complication rates are routinely referred. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relative safety of CRS/HIPEC. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective cohort study of 34 114 patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC, right lobe hepatectomy, trisegmental hepatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and esophagectomy between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2015, included in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) database. Data analysis was performed in 2018. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Data from the NSQIP database were used to compare perioperative and 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality rates of CRS/HIPEC (1822 patients) with other, well-accepted, high-risk surgical oncology procedures: right lobe hepatectomy (5109 patients), trisegmental hepatectomy (2449 patients), pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple) (16 793 patients), and esophagectomy (7941 patients). RESULTS For 34 114 patients, median (interquartile range [IQR]) age was 63 (55-71) years and 42% were female. Patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC tended to be younger, with a median age of 57 years, and esophagectomy had the highest median (IQR) American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (3 [3-3]). When compared with CRS/HIPEC, higher complication rates were reported in the following categories: (1) superficial incisional infection in Whipple and esophagectomy (5.4% [95% CI, 4.4%-6.4%] vs 9.7% [95% CI, 9.3%-10.1%] and 7.2% [95% CI, 6.6%-7.8%], respectively; P < .001); (2) deep incisional infection in Whipple (1.7% [95% CI, 1.1%-2.3%] vs 2.7% [95% CI, 2.5%-2.9%]; P < .01); (3) organ space infection in right lobe hepatectomy (7.2% [95% CI, 6.0%-8.4%] vs 9.0% [95% CI, 8.2%-9.8%]; P = .02), trisegmental hepatectomy (12.4% [95% CI, 11.1%-13.7%]; P < .001), and Whipple (12.9% [95% CI, 12.4%-13.4%]; P < .001); and (4) return to the operating room for esophagectomy (6.8% [95% CI, 5.6%-8.0%] vs 14.4% [95% CI, 13.6%-15.2%]; P < .001). Median (IQR) length of hospital stay was lower in CRS/HIPEC (8 [5-11] days) than Whipple (10 [7-15] days) and esophagectomy (10 [8-16] days) (P < .001). Overall 30-day mortality was lower in CRS/HIPEC (1.1%; 95% CI, 0.6%-1.6%) compared with Whipple (2.5%; 95% CI, 2.3%-2.7%), right lobe hepatectomy (2.9%; 95% CI, 2.4%-3.4%), esophagectomy (3.0%; 95% CI, 2.6%-3.4%), and trisegmental hepatectomy (3.9%; 95% CI, 3.1%-4.7%) (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Comparative analysis revealed CRS/HIPEC to be safe, often safer across the spectrum of NSQIP safety metrics when compared with similar-risk oncologic procedures. Patient selection was important in achieving observed outcomes. High complication rates are a misperception from early CRS/HIPEC experience and should no longer deter referral of patients to experienced centers or impede clinical trial development in the United States.

Systematic Review of Variations in Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for Peritoneal Metastasis from Colorectal Cancer. J Clin Med 2018; 7:jcm7120567. [PMID: 30572653 PMCID: PMC6306814 DOI: 10.3390/jcm7120567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 53] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2018] [Revised: 12/05/2018] [Accepted: 12/10/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS), followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), combines radical surgery with abdominal heated chemotherapy, constituting a multimodal treatment approach. Since clear standards for HIPEC conduct in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) are lacking, we aimed to provide a comprehensive structured survey. Data sources and study eligibility criteria: A systematic literature search was performed in PubMed, with keywords “HIPEC” and “colorectal cancer”, according to established guidelines. Articles were systematically screened, selecting 87 publications complemented by 48 publications identified through extended search for subsequent synthesis and evaluation, extracting inter alia details on used drugs, dosage, temperature, exposure times, and carrier solutions. Results: Compiled publications contained 171 reports on HIPEC conduct foremost with mitomycin C and oxaliplatin, but also other drugs and drug combinations, comprising at least 60 different procedures. We hence provide an overview of interconnections between HIPEC protocols, used drugs and carrier solutions as well as their volumes. In addition, HIPEC temperatures and dosing benchmarks, as well as an estimate of in vivo resulting drug concentrations are demonstrated. Conclusions and implications: Owing to recent developments, HIPEC conduct and practices need to be reassessed. Unfortunately, imprecise and lacking reporting is frequent, which is why minimal information requirements should be established for HIPEC and the introduction of final drug concentrations for comparability reasons seems sensible.

Short-Term Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction and Inflammatory Response in Patients Undergoing Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy: A Pilot Study. Mediators Inflamm 2017; 2017:3605350. [PMID: 29249869 PMCID: PMC5700480 DOI: 10.1155/2017/3605350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2017] [Revised: 07/09/2017] [Accepted: 08/03/2017] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives To assess the association between short-term postoperative cognitive dysfuction (POCD) and inflammtory response in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Design A prospective cohort study. Setting University medical centre. Participants Fifty-one adult patients who had undergone CRS-HIPEC and twenty control participants. Measurements The inflammatory marker levels in plasma and cognitive function were measured. Results Twenty (39.2%, 20/51) patients developed POCD at 1 w after CRS-HIPEC. The patients with POCD had higher serum interleukin 1β (IL-1β), serum amyloid A (SAA), S100 calcium-binding protein β (S-100β), and high mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB-1) levels at 1 and 24 h postoperatively than patients without POCD. There was an association between POCD and the maximum IL-1β and S-100β concentrations in serum, which remained following adjustment for age and FBS. Conclusion In this pilot study, perioperative inflammatory marker levels increase significantly after CRS-HIPEC in adult patients, and such elevations are associated with the development of short-term cognitive dysfunction after this complex surgery. These results suggested the need for a larger RCT to replicate and confirm these findings.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to provide an up-to-date summary of the current evidence that may be useful for updating guidelines. We comprehensively searched the published literatures and conferences for studies that compared curative with palliative treatments in colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. The primary outcomes considered in this study were three- and five-year overall survival rates. We pooled data across studies and estimated summary effect sizes. Overall, patients who received curative treatments had improved three-year survival (hazard ratio (HR), 2.19 [95% CI, 1.83 to 2.62]) and five-year survival (HR, 2.22 [95% CI, 1.83 to 2.69]) compared with those who received palliative treatments. Patients who received curative treatments had an increased risk of treatment-related morbidity (odds ratio (OR), 2.90 [95% CI, 2.02 to 4.17]), but there was no significant difference in treatment-related mortality between patients who received curative treatments and those who received palliative treatments (OR, 1.46 [CI, 0.62 to 3.47]). Curative treatments improved overall survival in colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis and did not increase the risk of treatment-related mortality. Curative treatments were associated with a higher risk of treatment-related morbidity. These data highlight the importance for further investigation aimed at prevention of treatment-associated morbidity.

Abstract
Objectives The therapeutic efficacy of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer (CRC) is still under debate. This meta-analysis and systematic review of published literature on this comprehensive strategy aims to evaluate its efficacy on CRC patients with PC. Methods A systemic review with meta-analysis of published literatures on treatment of CRS plus HIPEC for patients with PC from CRC was performed. In addition, a summary of study results of published literatures concerning CRS plus HIPEC treating patients with PC from CRC was also conducted. Results A total of 76 studies were selected, including 1 randomized controlled trial, 14 non-randomized controlled studies, and 61 non-controlled studies. The pooled hazard ratios (HRs) for overall survival (OS) in the 15 researches for meta-analysis was 2.67 (95% CI, 2.21-3.23, I2= 0%, P < 0.00001), and no significant evidence of publication bias was found. The difference of chemotherapy regimens of HIPEC was not associated with OS and DFS (disease-free survival) after CRS and HIPEC, with no significant difference of heterogeneity (P = 0.27, I2 = 24.1%). In both groups of mitomycin C based HIPEC group and oxaliplatin group, patients received HIPEC had significant better survival (P < 0.00001). The mean mortality and morbidity for HIPEC program were 2.8% and 33.0%, respectively. Conclusions This meta-analysis revealed that comprehensive therapeutic strategy of CRS plus HIPEC could bring survival benefit for selected patients with PC from CRC with acceptable safety.

Abstract
There is discrepancy and failure to adhere to current international guidelines for the management of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) in hospitals in Greece and Cyprus. The aim of the present document is to provide a consensus on the multidisciplinary management of metastastic CRC, considering both special characteristics of our Healthcare System and international guidelines. Following discussion and online communication among the members of an executive team chosen by the Hellenic Society of Medical Oncology (HeSMO), a consensus for metastastic CRC disease was developed. Statements were subjected to the Delphi methodology on two voting rounds by invited multidisciplinary international experts on CRC. Statements reaching level of agreement by ≥80% were considered as having achieved large consensus, whereas statements reaching 60-80% moderate consensus. One hundred and nine statements were developed. Ninety experts voted for those statements. The median rate of abstain per statement was 18.5% (range: 0-54%). In the end of the process, all statements achieved a large consensus. The importance of centralization, care by a multidisciplinary team, adherence to guidelines, and personalization is emphasized. R0 resection is the only intervention that may offer substantial improvement in the oncological outcomes.

Abstract
A systematic review of the literature on the management of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colon cancer with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) was undertaken using OVID Medline. Forty-six relevant studies were reviewed. Mean weighted overall morbidity following CRS and IPC was 49% (range 22-76%) and mortality was 3.6% (range 0-19%). Median overall survival ranged from 15 to 63 months, and 5-year overall survival ranged from 7 to 100%. This represents an improvement over historical treatment with systemic chemotherapy alone, even in the era of modern chemotherapeutic agents. Quality of life following surgery is initially decreased but improves with time and approaches baseline. Available data appear to support the treatment of PC from colon cancer with CRS and IPC. There is a large amount of variability among studies and few high-quality studies exist. Further studies are needed to standardize techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastasis is well-known as a poor prognostic factor in patients with colorectal cancer. It is important to improve the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer and synchronous peritoneal metastasis. This study aimed to clarify the factors affecting R0 resection and the prognosis of colorectal cancer patients with synchronous peritoneal metastasis. METHODS We investigated the data of patients with stage IV colorectal cancer between 1991 and 2007 in 16 hospitals that were members of the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum. RESULTS Of the 564 colorectal cancer patients with synchronous peritoneal metastases, 341 also had hematogenous metastases. The 5-year overall survival rates in patients with and without R0 resection were 32.4 and 4.7 %, respectively. A Cox proportional hazards model showed that histologic type of poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma, regional lymph node metastasis, liver metastasis, chemotherapy after surgery, R0 resection, the Japanese classification of peritoneal metastasis, and the size of peritoneal metastases were independent prognostic factors. Of the 564 patients, 28.4 % had R0 resection. The Japanese classification of peritoneal metastasis (P1-P2, p = 0.0024) and absence of hematogenous metastases (p < 0.0001) were associated with R0 resection. CONCLUSIONS P1-P2 peritoneal metastasis and the absence of hematogenous metastasis were the most favorable factors benefiting from synchronous resection of peritoneal metastasis. In addition, chemotherapy after surgery was essential.

Abstract
SUMMARY Peritoneal carcinomatosis is observed in up to 15% of colorectal cancer patients and represents 45% of all recurrences: 25% of these have peritoneal cavity-limited disease. Modern systemic chemotherapy has not substantially increased survival in this population to the same extent as those with nonperitoneal carcinomatosis colorectal cancer. Aggressive cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have now been used here, based on sound theoretical grounds. The resultant median survival achieved is up to 29 months and 5-year survival rates have increased to 20%. Patients who received complete cytoreduction benefit the most, with 5-year survival up to 50%. However, the overall level of trial evidence for CRS and HIPEC is low. The added benefit of modern systemic chemotherapy to CRS and HIPEC also requires evaluation.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is one manifestation of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). Tumor growth on intestinal surfaces and associated fluid accumulation eventually result in bowel obstruction and incapacitating levels of ascites, which profoundly affect the quality of life for affected patients. PC appears resistant to traditional 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy, and surgery was formerly reserved for palliative purposes only. In the absence of effective treatment, the historical prognosis for these patients was extremely poor, with an invariably fatal outcome. These poor outcomes likely explain why PC secondary to CRC has received little attention from oncologic researchers. Thus, data are lacking regarding incidence, clinical disease course, and accurate treatment evaluation for patients with PC. Recently, population-based studies have revealed that PC occurs relatively frequently among patients with CRC. Risk factors for developing PC have been identified: right-sided tumor, advanced T-stage, advanced N-stage, poor differentiation grade, and younger age at diagnosis. During the past decade, both chemotherapeutical and surgical treatments have achieved promising results in these patients. A chance for long-term survival or even cure may now be offered to selected patients by combining radical surgical resection with intraperitoneal instillation of heated chemotherapy. This combined procedure has become known as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. This editorial outlines recent advancements in the medical and surgical treatment of PC and reviews the most recent information on incidence and prognosis of this disease. Given recent progress, treatment should now be considered in every patient presenting with PC.

Abstract
Thermotherapy and thermochemotherapy have been used in clinics to treat patients with malignant diseases, including colon cancer, and their efficacy has been well proved. Heat shock proteins (HSPs), especially Hsp70, play important roles in neutralizing their efficacy. It has been reported that quercetin can suppress cancer by inhibiting the intratumoral expression of Hsp70. This study was designed to investigate whether quercetin could enhance sensitivity to thermotherapy and thermochemotherapy. Soluble quercetin liposome was used in this study. The effects of quercetin were investigated in vitro and in mouse colon cancer models of subcutaneous tumor and peritoneal carcinomatosis. The results showed that quercetin liposome inhibited the upregulation of Hsp70 and enhanced apoptosis induced by hyperthermia and thermochemotherapy. Systemic administration of quercetin liposome can sensitize CT26 cells to thermotherapy and chemothermotherapy. This study suggests that quercetin liposome might be potentially applied for clinical cancer therapy.

Abstract
Metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) represents an important health problem in which several biological predictive and prognostic factors have been identified, including clinical features and molecular markers that might influence the response to treatment. Actually, certain prognostic factors are considered key elements, along with disease extent, for deciding the therapeutic approach. However, a distinction between resectable/potentially resectable and unresectable patients must be made in order to establish an adequate therapeutic strategy. Different drugs and chemotherapy regimens are currently available, and their administration depends on patient characteristics, disease-related factors and the treatment objective. Moreover, special situations such as peritoneal carcinomatosis and local treatment of CRC in the setting of metastatic disease should be considered when deciding the most appropriate treatment strategy. This article reviews all the previously mentioned issues involved in the management of metastatic CRC and suggests some general recommendations for its treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC) has demonstrated improved survival in selected patients with colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CRPC). This treatment modality is associated with relatively high rates of perioperative morbidity and mortality. This study evaluated the clinical and treatment-related risk factors for perioperative morbidity and mortality in patients with CRPC who underwent CRS and PIC. METHODS Sixty-three consecutive patients who underwent CRS and PIC for CRPC were evaluated. Adverse events were rated from grades I to V with increasing severity. Clinical and treatment-related risk factors for grades III and IV/V morbidity were determined. RESULTS There were no perioperative deaths (0%). The grades III and IV morbidity rates were 14 and 17%, respectively. A peritoneal cancer index >12 (p = 0.019), transfusion >4 units (p = 0.028), number of peritonectomy procedures >3 (p = 0.013), left upper quadrant peritonectomy procedure (p < 0.001), and number of primary colonic anastomosis >1 (p = 0.004) were associated with grade IV morbidity on univariate analysis. Only left upper quadrant procedure was associated with grade IV morbidity on multivariate analysis (p = 0.002). Only number of primary colonic anastomosis >1 (p = 0.037) was associated with grade III morbidity on univariate analysis. This also was associated with grade III morbidity on multivariate analysis (p = 0.028). CONCLUSIONS CRS and PIC has an acceptable risk of perioperative morbidity in carefully selected patients with CRPC. Patients who require extensive surgery have the highest risk for a severe adverse event. Preoperative evaluation of patients is essential to improve perioperative outcome.

Abstract
BACKGROUND : Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been offered in many institutions worldwide since the 1990s. Despite its existence of more than 10 years, this treatment has received heavy criticism for its morbidity and mortality rates. This consequentially resulted in a lack of randomized trials being conducted and translates into a lack of the most reliable form of scientific evidence in clinical research, hence limiting its general acceptance. OBJECTIVE : To report the morbidity and mortality outcomes of CRS and HIPEC from all institutions performing this treatment as a prelude toward establishing the safety of this treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis. METHODS : A systematic review of relevant studies before August 2008 was performed. Each study was appraised using a predetermined protocol. The quality of studies was assessed. The morbidity and mortality of the treatment were synthesized through a narrative review with full tabulation of results of all included studies. CONCLUSIONS : The morbidity and mortality outcomes of CRS and HIPEC are similar to a major gastrointestinal surgery, such as a Whipple's procedure. To derive the maximal benefit of this treatment, careful patient selection with an optimal level of postoperative care must be advocated to avoid undesirable complications of this treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of the present meta-analysis was to analyze the survival outcomes of patients with colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CRPC), with particular focus on cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC). METHODS A search was conducted on Medline from 1950 to February 2009 and Pubmed from 1950 to February 2009 for original studies on CRS with PIC. All articles included in this study were assessed with the application of predetermined selection criteria. Results regarding the overall survival in the meta-analysis were expressed as hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Forty-seven manuscripts were selected in the present systematic review, including 4 comparative studies and 43 observational studies of CRS with PIC. From the meta-analysis, it can be seen that a significant improvement in survival was associated with treatment by CRS and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy compared with palliative approach (P < 0.0001). The pooled data did not show a significant improvement in overall survival for patients treated by CRS and early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy versus surgery and systemic chemotherapy (P = 0.35). The overall effect of PIC is significantly better than the control group (P = 0.0002). The current literature suggests that patients with liver metastasis amendable to resection should not be excluded from CRS and PIC. However, there is a need for further evaluation of the prognostic significance of lymph node and liver involvement, ideally in large prospective trials. CONCLUSIONS The meta-analysis showed that combined therapy involving CRS and PIC had a statistically significant survival benefit over control groups.

Cytoreductive surgery and continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion in patients with mesothelioma and peritoneal carcinomatosis: hemodynamic, metabolic, and anesthetic considerations. Ann Surg Oncol 2008; 16:334-44. [PMID: 19050961 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-008-0253-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2008] [Revised: 10/01/2008] [Accepted: 10/02/2008] [Indexed: 01/12/2023]
Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery and continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion (CHPP) involve the conduct of a complex surgical procedure and delivery of high-dose hyperthermic chemotherapy to the peritoneum. This therapeutic modality has been shown to benefit patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis resulting from gastrointestinal and ovarian tumors and mesothelioma. However, it is unknown whether the primary disease (mesothelioma versus peritoneal carcinomatosis) affects hemodynamic and metabolic perturbations during the course of CHPP with cisplatin. We examined the perioperative course of patients undergoing CHPP with cisplatin and evaluated the effect of primary diagnosis (mesothelioma versus peritoneal carcinomatosis) on hemodynamic and metabolic parameters in response to peritoneal perfusion. Sixty-nine mesothelioma and 100 peritoneal carcinomatosis patients underwent 169 consecutive cytoreduction and CHPP procedures with general anesthesia. During CHPP, patients from both groups developed significant increases in central venous pressure, and heart rate, decreases in mean arterial pressure (all P < 0.0001), metabolic acidosis with significant decreases in pH and bicarbonate (P < 0.0001), deterioration of gas exchange with significant increases in PaCO(2) and oxygen alveolar-arterial gradient (P < 0.0001), and significant increases in activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT) and decreases in hematocrit and platelet counts (all P < 0.0001). However, patients with mesothelioma had lesser increases in temperature (P < 0.01) and heart rate (P < 0.0001) and lesser decreases in hematocrit (P = 0.0013) during CHPP and greater decreases in sodium bicarbonate (P = 0.0082) after completion of CHPP compared with patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. We conclude that the transient hemodynamic and metabolic perturbations associated with cytoreductive surgery and CHPP with cisplatin can vary according to the primary diagnosis (mesothelioma versus peritoneal carcinomatosis) warranting this therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (miniCABG) decreases in-hospital morbidity versus traditional sternotomy CABG. We performed a prospective cohort study (NCT00481806) to assess the impact of miniCABG on costs and metrics that influence quality of life after hospital discharge. METHODS One hundred consecutive miniCABG cases performed using internal mammary artery (IMA) grafting +/- coronary stenting were compared with a matched group of 100 sternotomy CABG patients using IMA and saphenous veins, both treating equivalent number of target coronaries (2.7 vs. 2.9), off-pump. We compared perioperative costs, time to return to work/normal activity, and risk of major adverse cardiac/cerebrovascular events (MACCE) at 1 year: myocardial infarction (elevated troponin or EKG changes), target vessel occlusion (CT angiography at 1 year), stroke, or death. RESULTS For miniCABG, robotic instruments and stents increased intraoperative costs; postoperative costs were decreased from significantly less intubation time (4.80 +/- 6.35 vs. 12.24 +/- 6.24 hours), hospital stay (3.77 +/- 1.51 vs. 6.38 +/- 2.23 days), and transfusion (0.16 +/- 0.37 vs. 1.37 +/- 1.35 U) leading to no significant differences in total costs. Undergoing miniCABG independently predicted earlier return to work after adjusting for confounders (t = -2.15; P = 0.04), whereas sternotomy CABG increased MACCE (HR, 3.9; 95% CI, 1.4-7.6), largely from lower target-vessel patency. CONCLUSIONS MiniCABG shortens patient recovery time, minimizes MACCE risk at 1 year, and showed superior quality and outcome metrics versus standard-of-care CABG. These findings occurred without increasing costs and with superior target vessel graft patency.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer is a common malignant disease with increasing incidence and a significant cause of death in cancer patients. More than 10% of patients with colorectal cancer show peritoneal carcinomatosis at initial diagnosis. Moreover, peritoneal metastasis is a common sign of recurrence. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are a new treatment strategy for highly selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Numerous studies show prolonged survival after CRS and HIPEC with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. Accurate preoperative diagnostics and patient selection play a pivotal role in postoperative patient outcome. This promising treatment strategy is discussed regarding surgical technique, intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and patient outcome.

Abstract
This article is to offer a concise review on the use of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (IPHC) for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Traditionally, PC was treated with systemic chemotherapy alone with very poor response and a median survival of less than 6 mo. With the establishment of several phase II studies, a new trend has been developed toward the use of CRS plus IPHC as a standard method for treating selected patients with PC, in whom sufficient cytoreduction could be achieved. In spite of the need for more high quality phase III studies, there is now a consensus among many surgical oncology experts throughout the world about the use of this new treatment strategy as standard care for colorectal cancer patients with PC. This review summarizes the current status and possible progress in future.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) traditionally involves high perioperative morbidity and mortality. We report our experience performing CS-HIPEC in a high-volume regional perfusion program designed to limit morbidity and mortality. METHODS A total of 122 patients underwent 124 CS-HIPEC procedures. Common tumors treated with CS-HIPEC included appendiceal (38.5%), colorectal (24.6%), and ovarian cancers (13.1%), and peritoneal mesothelioma (12.3%). Complete cytoreduction was performed in all patients, with organ resections performed as necessary. RESULTS R0 resection was achieved in 28.7% of cases, R1 in 54.9%, and R2 in 16.4%. Median operative time was 460 minutes (range, 250-840 minutes), and median blood loss was 1150 mL (range, 10-14,000 mL). Median hospital and intensive care unit stays were 12 days (range, 6-50 days) and 3 days (range, 0-41 days), respectively. Grade 3 or 4 morbidity by National Cancer Institute criteria (major morbidity) was seen in 29.8% of cases, with overall morbidity 56.5%. Independent prognostic variables for major morbidity included number of anastomoses and degree of cytoreduction. In-hospital and 30-day mortality rates were 0% and 1.6%, respectively. The most favorable diagnosis was appendiceal cancer, for which 2-year survival was 66.7%, with lower-grade histologic subtypes of appendiceal cancer reaching 85.7% 2-year survival. Colorectal cancer had 2-year survival of 36.7%. CONCLUSIONS In a high-volume center with extensive experience treating peritoneal malignancies, perioperative mortality can be lowered to nearly zero, although morbidity remains high. CS-HIPEC procedures should be studied further in a controlled manner to help define their important role in the care of patients with PC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis arising from colorectal cancer is associated with a poor prognosis. It was the purpose of this study to analyze morbidity, mortality, and survival after major cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis were operated between April 2004 and June 2006 with the aim of complete macroscopical cytoreduction. All had a primary colorectal carcinoma. Surgery in these patients was followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) consisting of mitomycin C and doxorubicin. Data were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS Of all patients, 16 had appendix and 16 non-appendiceal colorectal carcinoma. A macroscopically complete cytoreduction was achieved in 24 patients by parietal and visceral peritonectomy procedures. All resections were combined with HIPEC. Overall morbidity was 34%. Most frequent surgical complications were intestinal obstruction (4/32), enteric fistula (2/32), pancreatitis (2/32), and bile leakage (2/32). One patient presented grade 4 renal toxicity. There was no hospital mortality. The median follow-up was 12 months. The 1-year overall survival rate is 96%. All patients after complete cytoreduction are still alive. CONCLUSIONS Cytoreductive surgery combined with HIPEC is associated with an acceptable morbidity and low mortality. Complete cytoreduction may improve survival, particularly in well-selected patients having a low tumor volume and no extra-abdominal metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemohyperthermic peritoneal perfusion (CHPP) after extensive cytoreductive surgery is a possible choice as a regional treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). The multicentric France EVOCAPE 1 study demonstrated that the median overall survival of patients with colon peritoneal carcinomatosis subjected to conventional surgical and/or chemotherapeutic treatment was 5.2 months. Historically, mitomycin C is the drug of choice in the treatment of intraperitoneal carcinomatosis from colon cancer. METHODS Twenty-five patients affected by stage IV colon cancer with only peritoneal involvement and a prior completion of at least a partial first cycle of systemic chemotherapeutic and/or surgical treatment (24 patients) were enrolled. Immediately following extensive cytoreductive surgery, early postoperative closed abdomen CHPP was performed. RESULTS Complete surgical cytoreduction (CC0-CC1) was obtained in 22 patients. Postoperative mortality was 1 out of 25 (4%). Major postoperative morbidity was 6 out of 25 (24%). Median overall survival estimated by Kaplan-Meier curve was 30.3 months. Locoregional progression-free survival was 17.3 months. Of all the patients 64% and 40% were alive after 1 and 2 years respectively. CONCLUSIONS In referral centers CHPP after optimal surgical debulking is a safe procedure for peritoneal carcinomatosis from colonic cancer. Locoregional control was obtained in the majority of the pretreated patients and 1-year survival was statistically improved. A closed abdomen CHPP procedure lasting 1 hour and standard mitomycin C at a dosage of 15 mg/m(2) is probably as efficacious as other hyperthermic procedures, using higher mitomycin C dosages, with a comparable or lower number of cases of side effects. These results, as in other published phase II studies, justify future randomized trials to assess definitively the role of CHPP in the treatment of locally advanced colon neoplasms in western countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been suggested as a treatment option for patients with colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, the survival benefit is achieved at the expense of moderate to high perioperative morbidity and mortality. METHODS This review summarized the important prognostic factors for survival; outlined the patient selection process from major peritonectomy centers, paying particular attention to preoperative evaluation; and identified areas for potential improvement. Emphasis was placed on a strict patient selection process to avoid futile aggressive treatments. RESULTS Currently, contrast-enhanced computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography, and laparoscopy have been utilized in the preoperative evaluation process to identify potential surgical candidates. Patients with good performance status, low volume of peritoneal disease, and absence of extra-abdominal metastases are more likely to benefit from the combined treatment. CONCLUSIONS Quantitative assessment of the extent of disease is possible and should be performed at the time of primary cancer operation. Careful selection of patients to identify surgical candidates with favorable prognostic indicators is important.

Abstract
PURPOSE The efficacy of cytoreductive surgery combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal carcinoma remains to be established. METHODS A systematic review of relevant studies before March 2006 was performed. Two reviewers independently appraised each study using a predetermined protocol. The quality of studies was assessed. Clinical effectiveness was synthesized through a narrative review with full tabulation of results of all included studies. RESULTS Two randomized controlled trials, one comparative study, one multi-institutional registry study, and 10 most recent case-series studies were evaluated. The level of evidence was low in 13 of the 14 eligible studies. The median survival varied from 13 to 29 months, and 5-year survival rates ranged from 11% to 19%. Patients who received complete cytoreduction benefited most, with median survival varying from 28 to 60 months and 5-year survival ranging from 22% to 49%. The overall morbidity rate varied from 23% to 44%, and the mortality rate ranged from 0% to 12%. CONCLUSION The current evidence suggests that cytoreductive surgery combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy is associated with an improved survival, as compared with systemic chemotherapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal carcinoma.

Abstract
AIMS Cytoreductive surgery combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been reported as a treatment option for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal carcinoma. METHODS Thirty patients with colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis underwent cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy. All appendiceal cancers were excluded. All patients were followed until January 2006 or death. Univariate analysis was performed to evaluate significant prognostic factors for overall survival, defined from the time of surgery. RESULTS There were 13 male patients. The mean age at the time of surgery was 54years. There was no hospital mortality. The mean duration of hospital stay was 27days. The overall median survival was 29months, with 1- and 2-year survival of 72% and 64%, respectively. Twenty-one patients had complete cytoreduction and their 1- and 2-year survival rates were 85% and 71%, respectively. Univariate analysis demonstrated that patients with non-mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma, Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) < or =13, and complete cytoreduction were associated with an improved survival. CONCLUSIONS This study reported on 30 patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy for colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis. Patients with mucinous tumour had relatively more extensive intraperitoneal disease. Non-mucinous colorectal adenocarcinoma, PCI < or =13, and complete cytoreduction were associated with an improved survival.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the literature with regard to the incidence and prognostic significance of peritoneal seeding during surgery for primary colorectal cancer (CRC), the incidence of intraperitoneal recurrence of CRC, and the current treatment strategies of established PC of colorectal origin, with special focus on cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPEC). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Although hematogenous dissemination forms the greatest threat to patients with CRC, peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), presumably arising from intraperitoneal seeding of cancer cells, is a relatively frequent event in patients with recurrent CRC. METHODS The PubMed and Medline literature databases were searched for pertinent publications regarding the incidence and prognostic significance of exfoliated tumor cells in the peritoneal cavity during curative surgery for primary CRC, the incidence of intraperitoneal recurrence of CRC, and the therapeutic results of systemic chemotherapy or cytoreductive surgery followed by IPEC. RESULTS The incidence of peritoneal seeding during potentially curative surgery for primary CRC, as reported in 12 patient series, varied widely, from 3% to 28%, which may be explained by differences in methods to detect tumor cells. PC is encountered in approximately 7% of patients at primary surgery, in approximately 4% to 19% of patients during follow-up after curative surgery, in up to 44% of patients with recurrent CRC who require relaparotomy, and in 40% to 80% of patients who succumb to CRC. The reported median survival after systemic 5-fluorouracil-based chemotherapy for PC varies from 5.2 to 12.6 months. Median survival after aggressive cytoreductive surgery followed by (hyperthermic) IPEC in selected patients, as reported in 16 patient series, tends to be better and varies from 12 to 32 months at the cost of morbidity and mortality rates of 14% to 55% and 0% to 19%, respectively. One randomized controlled trial has been published confirming the superiority of aggressive surgical cytoreduction and intraperitoneal chemotherapy over strictly palliative treatment. CONCLUSIONS Peritoneal seeding of cancer cells possibly leading to PC is a rather common phenomenon in patients with CRC. Cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant (hyperthermic) IPEC have been shown to be efficacious in selected patients and should therefore be considered in patients with resectable PC of colorectal origin.
