Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis, as well as the presence of liver metastases from colorectal cancer, has been long considered as the sign of a systemic disease, transforming the patient into a candidate for palliation and best supportive care. However, in recent decades, progress in the field of medical and surgical oncology has allowed scientists worldwide to produce curative therapeutic strategies for these cases such as hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) or extended liver resection. In addition, the association of these two therapies has also been performed with encouraging results. The aim of the current study was to review articles published thus far in regard to the association of these two therapeutic strategies, in order to identify which cases can benefit the most, which is the most efficient agent or combination of agents, and whether these types of therapy should be performed as monotherapy or as a two-stage procedure.

Cancer Manag Res 2021; 13:5239-5249. [PMID: 34234566 PMCID: PMC8257566 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s277912] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), often combined with systemic therapy, can be offered to selected colorectal peritoneal metastases (PM) patients. However, clinical heterogeneity and the lack of high-level evidence challenges determination of the correct treatment strategy. This review aims to provide an overview of current strategies to predict survival of colorectal PM patients treated with CRS and HIPEC, guiding clinicians to select a suitable treatment-strategy and to inform patients about their prognosis. First, the prognostic relevance of several clinicopathological prognostic factors, such as extent of PM, location of primary tumor, histology type, and the presence of lymph node or liver metastases will be discussed. Subsequently, special attention will be given to recent developments in several aspects of tumor biology such as RAF/RAS mutations, circulating tumor DNA, immunoprofiling, and consensus molecular subtypes. Finally, currently available prognostic models to predict survival will be evaluated, concluding these models perform moderate to good, but most of them partly rely on intra-operative data. New insights in tumor biology, as well as the reliable assessment of extent of peritoneal disease by diffusion weighted MRI pose promising opportunities to establish an adequate and clinically meaningful preoperative prognostic model in the near future.
