Abstract
CLINICAL PROBLEM Peritoneal carcinomatosis secondary to cancer of unknown primary (CUP) syndrome is a rare entity for which there are no uniform treatment recommendations or guidelines. The median survival time is 3 months. DIAGNOSIS Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and 18F‑FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/CT are valid imaging modalities for the detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis. The sensitivity of all techniques is highest for large, macronodular peritoneal carcinomatosis manifestations. A limitation of all imaging techniques is limited and small-nodular peritoneal carcinomatosis. Also, peritoneal metastasis in the small bowel mesentery or diaphragmatic domes can only be visualized with low sensitivity. Therefore, exploratory laparoscopy should be considered as the next diagnostic step. In half of these cases an unnecessary laparotomy can be avoided, because the laparoscopy revealed diffuse, small-nodule involvement of the small bowel wall and thus an irresectable situation. TREATMENT In selected patients, performing complete cytoreduction followed by hyperthermic intra-abdominal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a good therapeutic option. Therefore, the identification of the extent of peritoneal tumor manifestation as accurately as possible is important for the definition of the increasingly complex oncological therapy strategies.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in small bowel adenocarcinoma with peritoneal metastasis: a systematic review. Pleura Peritoneum 2022; 7:159-167. [PMID: 36560970 PMCID: PMC9742456 DOI: 10.1515/pp-2022-0121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives Small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) with peritoneal metastasis (PM) is rare and despite treatment with systemic chemotherapy, the prognosis is poor. However, there is emerging evidence that cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) may offer a survival benefit over systemic therapy alone. This systematic review will assess the effectiveness of CRS-HIPEC for SBA-PM. Content Three databases were searched from inception to 11/10/21. Clinical outcomes were extracted and analysed. Summary A total of 164 cases of SBA-PM undergoing CRS-HIPEC were identified in 12 studies. The majority of patients had neoadjuvant chemotherapy (87/164, 53%) and complete cytoreduction (143/164, 87%) prior to HIPEC. The median overall survival was 9-32 months and 5-year survival ranged from 25 to 40%. Clavien-Dindo grade III/IV morbidity ranged between 19.1 and 50%, while overall mortality was low with only 3 treatment-related deaths. Outlook CRS-HIPEC has the potential to improve the overall survival in a highly selected group of SBA-PM patients, with 5-year survival rates comparable to those reported in colorectal peritoneal metastases. However, the expected survival benefits need to be balanced against the intrinsic risk of morbidity and mortality associated with the procedure. Further multicentre studies are required to assess the safety and feasibility of CRS-HIPEC in SBA-PM to guide best practice management for this rare disease.

Ray MD, Dhall K. Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the management of peritoneal surface malignancies - An evidence-based review. Curr Probl Cancer 2021; 45:100737. [PMID: 34116836 DOI: 10.1016/j.currproblcancer.2021.100737] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2020] [Revised: 02/27/2021] [Accepted: 03/15/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditionally, peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) were considered terminal diseases because of their advanced nature, therefore, systemic chemotherapy was given with palliative intent only. As a result, very poor survival outcomes were observed. But with the introduction of complete Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), the scenario has changed dramatically. METHODOLOGY An objective electronic database search was performed in Pubmed, NLM Catalog, Google scholar, Bookshelf, and Pubmed Central published in the time period from 2000 till 2020. All the randomized studies were included. In the absence of randomized studies, both prospective and retrospective studies were included. The outcomes of HIPEC were measured in terms of median survival, disease-free survival, overall survival, complications and drug toxicities. RESULTS CRS and HIPEC are considered the standard of care for PMP and MPM even in the absence of level 1 evidence due to lack of an effective alternative treatment. In colorectal and gastric cancer, several phase-three trials are showing overall survival benefit in selected cases while there is a prophylactic and palliative role of HIPEC in gastric cancer. Three reported phase 3 trials showed positive results in ovarian cancer. In peritoneal sarcomatosis, the role of HIPEC is yet to be proven. CONCLUSION The patient selection is the key to the successful outcomes after HIPEC. HIPEC should be performed by the experienced surgeons in specialized centres with a strong critical care and intensive care support to reduce the morbidity and mortality. Ongoing trials and future directions will prove to be an indispensable arm in the oncological armamentarium.

Patient Selection for Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in Patients With Colorectal Cancer: Consensus on Decision Making Among International Experts. Clin Colorectal Cancer 2020; 19:277-284.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment for patients with peritoneal metastases is complex. The use of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has continued to be debated. The aim of the present study was to assess the consensus among international experts for decision-making regarding the use of CRS and HIPEC for patients with CRC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Of 15 experts invited, 12 had provided their decision algorithms for CRS and HIPEC for patients with, or at high risk of, peritoneal metastases from CRC. Using the objective consensus method, the results were transformed into decision trees to provide information on the consensus and discordance. RESULTS Only 1 scenario was found for which the consensus on performing HIPEC had reached 100%. The scenario was the treatment of young patients with complete cytoreduction and a peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) of < 16 in the presence of certain risk factors. Five major decision criteria were identified: age, PCI, completeness of cytoreduction, extent of extraperitoneal metastases (EoMs), and, in the case of unverified EoMs, additional risk factors. Consensus was found regarding refraining from using HIPEC for older patients with a high PCI. The consensus further increased when addressing incomplete cytoreduction and an extensive extent of EoMs. CONCLUSION A definite consensus concerning the use of HIPEC was only determined for very selected scenarios. These findings can be used for general guidance; however, owing to the heterogeneity of each individual situation, the impracticality of presenting the information through decision trees, and the unclear future of the role of HIPEC in the adjuvant setting, a one-on-one transfer to daily clinical practice could not be achieved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The management of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) with peritoneal metastases is challenging, and the roles of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are unclear and debated among experts. MATERIALS AND METHODS The experts of the Swiss Peritoneal Cancer Group were contacted and agreed to participate in this analysis. Experts from 9 centers in Switzerland provided their decision algorithms for CRS/HIPEC for patients with or at high risk for peritoneal metastases from CRC. Their responses were converted into decision trees on the basis of objective consensus methodology. The decision trees were used as a basis to identify consensus and discrepancies. RESULTS The final treatment algorithms included a total of 5 decision criteria (age, Peritoneal Cancer Index [PCI], extraperitoneal metastases, Peritoneal Surface Disease Severity Score, and various risk factors [RF]) and 2 treatment options (HIPEC, yes or no). HIPEC was never recommended for patients without peritoneal metastases in the absence of RF for peritoneal metastases. For patients with a PCI ≤15 without organ metastases, all centers recommended CRS/HIPEC. There was also a consensus not to perform CRS/HIPEC in elderly patients (80 years and older), those with a PCI >20, and those with unresectable metastases. For patients with a PCI = 16 to 20, there was no consensus. CONCLUSION Multiple decision criteria relevant to all participating centers were identified. Because patient selection for CRS/HIPEC remains difficult, uniform criteria for the term "high risk" for peritoneal metastases and systemic metastases are helpful. Future trials and guidelines should take these criteria into account.

Benefit of cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with isolated peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer. Int J Colorectal Dis 2018; 33:1559-1567.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ever since Sugarbaker has established the cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in combination with intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), there is a chance of cure for selected patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer. Objective of this study was to investigate the benefit of CRS and HIPEC compared to other therapy options in patients with isolated synchronous and metachronous peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin in terms of long-term overall survival. METHODS A retrospective population-based cohort study, including 370 patients diagnosed with isolated synchronous and metachronous peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin, was carried out. Therefore, data were acquired from the cancer registry at the Regensburg Tumor Center in Bavaria, Germany. Patients' overall survival (OAS) according to their therapy received was analyzed by means of Kaplan-Meier method and multivariable Cox regression. RESULTS Overall median survival was 41.6 months for patients treated with CRS and HIPEC, compared with surgery and chemotherapy (24.0 months, log-rank p = 0.015), chemotherapy only (14.1 months, p < 0.001), surgery only (11.4 months, p < 0.001), and best supportive care (7.9 months, p < 0.001). This benefit persisted after adjustment for further risk factors in multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION The effect of CRS and HIPEC stands out significantly in comparison to all other therapies. The multimodality approach should be a regular option for patients with isolated peritoneal metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ovarian, tubal, and peritoneal carcinomas primarily affect the peritoneal cavity, and they are typically diagnosed at an advanced tumor stage (Foley, Rauh-Hain, del Carmen in Oncology (Williston Park) 27:288-294, 2013). In the course of primary surgery, postoperative tumor residuals are, apart from the tumor stage, the strongest independent factors of prognosis (du Bois, Reuss, Pujade-Lauraine, Harter, Ray-Coquard, Pfisterer in Cancer 115:1234-1244, 2009). Due to improved surgical techniques, including the use of multi-visceral procedures, macroscopic tumor clearance can be achieved in oncological centers, in most cases (Harter, Muallem, Buhrmann et al in Gynecol Oncol 121:615-619, 2011). However, to date, it has not been shown that peritoneal carcinomatosis is, per se, an independent factor of prognosis or that it excludes the achievement of tumor clearance. Several studies have shown that a preceding drug therapy in peritoneal carcinomatosis could positively influence the overall prognosis (Trimbos, Trimbos, Vergote et al in J Natl Cancer Inst 95:105-112, 2003). In relapses of ovarian carcinoma, studies have shown that peritoneal carcinomatosis is a negative predictor of complete tumor resection; however, when it is possible to resect the tumor completely, peritoneal carcinomatosis does not play a role in the prognosis (Harter, Hahmann, Lueck et al in Ann Surg Oncol 16:1324-1330, 2009). RESULTS PIPAC is a highly experimental method for treating patients with ovarian, tubal, and peritoneal cancer. To date, only three studies have investigated a total of 184 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (Grass, Vuagniaux, Teixeira-Farinha, Lehmann, Demartines, Hubner in Br J Surg 104:669-678, 2017). Only some of those studies were phase I/II studies that included PIPAC for patients with different indications and different cancer entities. It is important to keep in mind that the PIPAC approach is associated with relatively high toxicity. To date, no systematic dose-finding studies have been reported. Moreover, no studies have reported improvements in progression-free or overall survival associated with PIPAC therapy. CONCLUSIONS Randomized phase III studies are required to evaluate the effect of this therapy compared to other standard treatments (sequential or simultaneous applications with systemic chemotherapy). In cases of ovarian, tubal, and peritoneal cancer, PIPAC should not be performed outside the framework of prospective, controlled studies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) plays a pivotal role in the current treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer (CRC). Since the first demonstration, benefits for patients and especially an increase in survival have been described. In recent years, feasibility, efficacy and safety of HIPEC have been improved and progress has been made in understanding its oncological mechanism. Areas covered: In this article, leading publications have been reviewed including clinical trials to describe the clinical presentation of PC due to CRC and present recent evidence of the CRS/HIPEC procedure. The surgical approach including evaluation of the extent of PC is described and, in addition, the article reports about different HIPEC techniques as well as several protocols. Furthermore, the development and prognostic benefit of the combination of intraperitoneal and intravenous chemotherapy are outlined. Consideration has been given in particular to patient selection and the use of HIPEC if complete cytoreduction is not feasible. Expert commentary: The CRS/HIPEC procedure represents a curative approach to treat patients with PC from CRC. However, surgical skills and the HIPEC technique still require specialized oncological centers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy have a long recovery process. AIM To describe patients' experiences of their everyday lives after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. METHOD A follow-up study with a qualitative, descriptive design. Data were collected by individual, in-depth telephone interviews with 16 patients who had been treated for peritoneal carcinomatosis 14 months earlier at a university hospital in Sweden. The interviews were performed between May and June 2013 and analysed using systematic text condensation. RESULTS Five themes were identified: (i) finding one's new self and relating to the new situation; (ii) the disease making its presence felt through bodily complications or mental fatigue; (iii) worrying about the return of the disease and passing it on to one's children; (iv) experiencing difficulties contacting various care facilities, not having a clear plan for ongoing rehabilitation; and (v) the need for online support through the Internet and counselling for both patients and their family members. CONCLUSIONS Despite bodily complications, mental fatigue and worries about the return of the disease, the patient's everyday life was focused on finding his/her new self and adapting to the new circumstances. Difficulties in contacting care facilities and the lack of an ongoing medical and nursing rehabilitation plan called for a need for network support for patients and their families. CLINICAL RELEVANCE After advanced surgery, patients require a continuous medical and nursing rehabilitation plan, and a platform of support such as meetings via social media and Internet which would connect former patients and their families with future patients and their family members. A contact nurse with specific expertise should design an individual rehabilitation plan and continuously identify the individual needs for long-term support.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (ptc) represents advanced malignant disease and has generally been associated with a grim prognosis. Peritoneal surface malignancy is often the major source of morbidity and mortality; it is of major concern in cancer management. Although ptc is categorized as metastatic disease, it represents a special disease pattern considered to be a locoregional disease limited to the abdominal cavity. The combination of cytoreductive surgery (crs) and intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (hipec) has successfully been used as locoregional treatment for selected patients with ptc from gastric, colorectal, and ovarian cancer; with mesothelioma; and with pseudomyxoma peritonei. In the prophylactic setting, hipec can also be used to prevent ptc in high-risk patients, and the first results of the "second-look" approach are promising. Patient selection-in which the risks of perioperative morbidity and mortality, which are analogous to those for any other major gastrointestinal surgery, are assessed-is of utmost importance. Those risks have to be weighed against the anticipated survival benefit, which depends mainly on tumour biology, extent of disease, and probability of achieving complete crs. The present review discusses the principles of crs and hipec, the most significant recent clinical data, and current perspectives concerning the application of this treatment modality in various malignancies. Ongoing trials and future directions are noted. It appears that the combination of crs and hipec is an indispensable tool in the oncologist's armamentarium.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The effect of cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with rectal peritoneal metastases (PM) is unclear. This case-control study aims to assess the results of cytoreduction and HIPEC in patients with rectal PM compared to colon PM patients. METHODS Colorectal PM patients treated with complete macroscopic cytoreduction and HIPEC were included. Two colon cancer patients were case-matched for each rectal cancer patient, based on prognostic factors (T stage, N stage, histology type, and extent of PM). Short- and long-term outcomes were compared between both groups. RESULTS From 317 patients treated with complete macroscopic cytoreduction and HIPEC, 29 patients (9.1%) had rectal PM. Fifty-eight colon cases were selected as control patients. Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Major morbidity was 27.6% and 34.5% in the rectal and colon group, respectively (P = 0.516). Median disease-free survival was 13.5 months in the rectal group and 13.6 months in the colon group (P = 0.621). Two- and five-year overall survival rates were 54%/32% in rectal cancer patients, and 61%/24% in colon cancer patients (P = 0.987). CONCLUSIONS Cytoreduction and HIPEC in selected patients with rectal PM is feasible and provides similar outcomes as in colon cancer patients. Rectal PM should not be regarded a contra-indication for cytoreduction and HIPEC in selected patients. J. Surg. Oncol. 2016;113:548-553. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery is an essential part of a multimodality treatment concept for peritoneal metastases. Indications are primary peritoneal tumors like peritoneal mesothelioma or secondaries from colorectal cancer or pseudomyxoma peritonei. Patients with gastric or ovarian carcinoma or abdominal sarcoma with peritoneal seedings can be treated within studies. Tumor entity, tumor load, and tumor distribution are the most critical issues for patient selection. Complete macroscopic cytoreduction is the strongest prognostic factor and can be achieved by parietal and visceral peritonectomy. The operation should be performed in a standardized manner. Due to possible tumor manifestation in all four quadrants of the abdomen and extensive extraperitoneal dissection, extensive surgical and oncological expertise is prerequisite. Treatment in specialized surgical oncology centers is recommended to minimize morbidity and mortality. The German Society for General and Visceral Surgery is certifying centers of competence for surgical treatment of peritoneal malignancies. Data of all patients are documented in the HIPEC register. The inclusion of patients in studies is recommended.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to present our initial experience in peritoneal carcinomatosis treatment and the technical details of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the light of current literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data of 27 consecutive patients who were treated with CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis in Medical Park Samsun Hospital, between November 2012 and September 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Treatment indication and management were evaluated at the multidisciplinary oncology council. All patients underwent CRS and HIPEC with the aim of complete cytoreduction. Patients with unresectable disease and/or palliative surgery were excluded from analysis. Perioperative complications were classified according to Clavien-Dindo classification, and HIPEC-related side effects were identified using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) criteria. Demographic, clinical and histopathological data of the patients were analyzed. RESULTS The mean age was 54 (32-72). Nineteen patients were female. The origin of peritoneal carcinomatosis was colorectal cancer in 12 patients, ovarian cancer in 12 patients, gastric cancer in 2 patients and pseudomyxoma peritonei in 1 patient. The mean Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index was 12 (3-32), with a mean operative time of 420 (300-660) minutes. Perioperative morbidity, HIPEC-related toxicity and perioperative mortality were observed in eight (30%), one (3.7%) and four patients (14.8%), respectively. During a mean follow up of 13 (1-22) months, overall and disease-free survival rates were 95.8% and 82.6%, respectively. Two patients with colorectal cancer (after 9 and 12 months) and one patient with ovarian cancer (after 11 months) had intra-abdominal recurrence. One patient with ovarian cancer had liver metastases 13 months after surgery, and underwent resection of segments 6-7. The remaining patients are being followed-up without any recurrence. CONCLUSION Cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC have favorable results in the treatment of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Compatible with the literature, surgical outcomes of the presented series are encouraging for this treatment modality that have been recently popularized in our country. Careful perioperative evaluation, proper patient selection and multidisciplinary approach are essential for success in curative treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
Colorectal metastases still represent a challenge to all oncologists despite progresses achieved by improved resectability, systemic chemotherapy and targeted therapies. In particular in patients with oligo-metastases, the role of surgical resections has been redefined. Resection is the most effective treatment method for liver metastases performed with curative intent; however, primary rate of resectability is low. Several methods to increase resectability have been developed: conversion chemotherapy, portal vein embolization, two-stage resections, vascular reconstruction of the liver veins, combination of resection and intraoperative ablation. Liver resections can be performed at present with low mortality. Patients with isolated peritoneal metastases, no extra-abdominal disease, low volume tumor and complete surgical cytoreduction do benefit from surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Several national guidelines recommend multimodality treatment for highly selected patients. The management of stage IV colorectal cancer includes several disciplines with focus on resection. A multidisciplinary evaluation of all patients is of crucial importance to define the treatment sequence and individual strategies for each patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare CT and MRI for peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) assessment and to compare assessments made by the radiologist based on their experiences. METHOD AND MATERIALS MRI and CT of abdomen and pelvis were performed on 39 prospectively followed by surgery directly. Two blinded radiologists with different experience levels evaluated PCI separately on different occasions on 19 cases initially and later on the remaining 20. The agreement between the radiologists' assessment and surgical findings in total and per site were recorded. RESULTS Total PCI: The experienced radiologist was able to assess total tumor burden correctly on both CT and MRI (kappa = 1.0). For the inexperienced radiologist the assessment was better on CT (kappa = 0.73) compared to MRI (kappa = 0.58). Different sites: The experienced radiologist showed high agreement with kappa = 0.77 for MRI and 0.80 for CT. Corresponding figures were 0.39 and 0.60 for the inexperienced radiologist. For the second phase the agreement levels increased for the inexperienced radiologist increased to 0.80 and 0.70, respectively. CONCLUSION CT and MRI are equal when read by experienced radiologist. CT shows better results when read by an inexperienced radiologist compared to MRI, however the results of the latter can easily be improved.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the performance of CT-Enteroclysis (CTE) in the preoperative evaluation of the small bowel (SB) involvement in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC), candidates for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). MATERIAL AND METHODS In this prospective study, 48 consecutive patients (37 women, 11 men, mean age: 57.02 years) with PC of different primaries, eligible for cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC underwent CTE before surgery. Lesions were gathered according to their location (SB wall or mesentery), distribution (jejunum/ileum, proximal/distal) and lesion size (LS, where LS0 is the absence of disease, LS1 < 1 cm, LS < 1-5 cm, and LS3 > 5 cm in maximal diameter). The preoperative CTE classification was correlated with surgical scoring of PC in the SB. RESULTS CTE was found to have sensitivity 92%, specificity 96%, PPV 97%, NPV 91%, in assessing PC in the SB/mesentery. CTE exhibited "excellent" agreement with surgical classification of disease extent (overall kappa-weighted coefficient of agreement (κ (w)) was 0.962). Patients (n = 6) found inoperable at surgery manifested extensive plaque-like cover of the SB wall/mesentery on CTE. CONCLUSIONS CTE may be considered a reliable imaging technique for the preoperative evaluation of the extent and distribution of PC in the SB/mesentery in order to assist surgical planning or to prevent unnecessary surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surgical management of mucinous adenocarcinoma of the appendix (MA) is controversial, given its infrequent nodal metastases and its propensity for peritoneal dissemination compared to nonmucinous adenocarcinoma. We sought to identify the appropriateness of a right hemicolectomy (RH) for MA in staging and treatment of these tumors. METHODS We queried all patients with MA captured in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 1973 to 2007. Demographics, and tumor and therapy characteristics were extracted. Overall and disease-specific survival was compared by Cox regression analyses. RESULTS Of 2,101 patients with MA, the median age was 59 (range 49-72) years; 55 % were women (n = 1,151). Tumor, node, metastasis staging revealed that tumors were frequently T3 (33 %) or T4 (46 %), N0 (80 %), and M1 (46 %). Fifty-one percent (n = 666) of patients underwent an appendectomy. In patients with complete staging information who underwent RH, nodal metastases were less frequent than the nonmucinous adenocarcinoma group (odds ratio 0.63, p = 0.003). Well-differentiated tumors had a low likelihood of nodal metastases (6 % T1, 0 % T2, 7 % T3, 22 % T4). Adjusted survival for patients undergoing appendectomy was similar to those undergoing a RH (hazard ratio 0.93, p = 0.52). Median survival for both groups was similar with positive nodes (28 [appendectomy] vs. 26 months [RH], p = 0.26) or metastatic disease (52 [appendectomy] vs. 43 months [RH], p = 0.28). CONCLUSIONS There does not appear to be a therapeutic benefit to a RH in the setting of known node-positive or metastatic disease. Benefits of a staging operation can be individualized on the basis of the probability of nodal metastases, which is lower than nonmucinous tumors.

Abstract
Gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis is a disease with a poor prognosis. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal perioperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) can improve prognosis, although in most cases this should still be considered as a palliative treatment. Therefore, morbidity has to be avoided at all cost as quality of life is of utmost importance. We describe the case of a 64-year-old female with an adenocarcinoma of the stomach that was initially treated with a Billroth II gastrectomy, adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. During follow-up, the diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis was made, and the patient was referred for CRS and HIPEC. Postoperatively, she developed rhabdomyolysis in both gastrocnemius muscles. Renal function remained within normal limits, but ultrasonography of the lower legs suggested the presence of bilateral abscesses. Drainage with pigtail catheters was necessary for more than 1 month, significantly impairing quality of life. The objective of this case report is to heighten awareness for this complication. Rhabdomyolysis is a rare complication of CRS and HIPEC, with a significant impact on quality of life. Prevention is necessary and can be achieved by adequate surgical positioning, using the altered lithotomy position, sufficient padding and by preventing hypovolemia.

Abstract
The outcome of ovarian cancer remains poor with conventional therapy. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy has some advantages over systemic chemotherapy, including favorable pharmacokinetics and optimal treatment timing. Intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) provides improved exposure of the entire seroperitoneal surface to the agent and utilizes the direct cytoxic and drug-enhancing effect of hyperthermia. While standard normothermic, nonintraoperative, intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been demonstrated to be beneficial in randomized trials and meta-analyses, there are no data from randomized HIPEC trials available yet. Cautious extrapolation of data from standard normothermic, nonintraoperative, intraperitoneal chemotherapy and data from Phase II and nonrandomized comparative studies suggest that HIPEC delivered at the time of surgery for ovarian cancer has definite potential. Data from ongoing randomized HIPEC trials to adequately answer the question of whether the addition of HIPEC actually prolongs survival in patients with peritoneal dissemination of primary and recurrent ovarian cancer are awaited in the near future.

Abstract
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is primarily the result of a ruptured mucinous appendix neoplasm (MAN). Often MAN is lumped with but biologically distinct from intestinal appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Nodal and systemic dissemination are rare with the peritoneal cavity being the primary site of recurrence. Routine performance of right hemicolectomy (RHC) for PMP/MAN has been extensively debated without consensus. Our objective was to ascertain whether RHC has a survival advantage over appendectomy. We hypothesize if RHC is mandatory, then increased tumor recurrence and mortality should be observed in appendectomy only. Retrospective chart review was carried out in patients with tumors that met the Ronnett classification for PMP/MAN. Demographics, tumor grade, extent, recurrence, and progression were recorded. We report the rate of nodal involvement/recurrence in patients treated with RHC versus appendectomy as well as the rate of systemic and peritoneal recurrence and survival. Multivariate logistic regression was done to identify factors that impact survival. Of 120 patients, 48 had appendectomy and 72 had RHC. Seven per cent of patients undergoing RHC had positive lymph nodes and no nodal failures (0%) in patients undergoing appendectomy. Appendectomy versus RHC recurrence rates (21 vs. 28%, P = 0.12) and death resulting from disease (8 vs. 22%, P = 0.27) were similar. Logistic regression revealed that the type of surgery had no impact on recurrence and mortality, only optimal resection score and performance status. There was no difference in tumor recurrence or survival based on treatment by appendectomy or RHC. Performance status and complete cytoreduction are the only factors associated with survival. Lymph node involvement is rare and selective RHC is safe in PMP/MAN.

Abstract
The appropriate selection criteria for complete cytoreduction in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies have not been determined. We performed a retrospective analysis of all patients receiving cytoreductive surgery (CRS) during the study period of 2004 to 2008 to determine appropriate selection criteria for successful complete cytoreduction. During the study period, 38 patients underwent attempted CRS. Cytoreduction was scored complete, incomplete, or not reported in 53 per cent (n = 20), 37 per cent (n = 14), and 11 per cent (n = 4), respectively. Median overall survival for compete and incomplete cytoreduction was 56 months versus 5 months ( P = 0.011), respectively. Compared with incomplete cytoreduction, patients receiving complete cytoreduction were more likely to have a lower Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) and not have received preoperative systemic chemotherapy (CT). Univariate analysis verified PCI greater than 20 (hazard ratio [HR], 0.048; CI, 0.004 to 0.515; P = 0.01) and CT (HR, 0.17; 0.004 to 0.77; P = 0.021) as predictors of incomplete cytoreduction. Small bowel (100%), periportal region (33%), and mesentery (27%) were the most common sites of residual disease. In conclusion, PCI less than 20 and the need for preoperative chemotherapy should be strongly considered when selecting patients with peritoneal surface malignancy for attempted cytoreduction. Early evaluation of the small bowel, mesentery, and periportal region for resectability prevents unnecessary surgery.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the current status of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) management, as well as the usage of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in mainland China.
METHODS: A potentially curative therapeutic strategy for selecting patients with PC, known as “Techniques”, consists of CRS in combination with HIPEC. A systemic search of published works and clinical trials was performed. Additional papers were retrieved by cross-checking references and obtaining information from Chinese oncologists and relevant conferences. One hundred and one papers and one registered clinical trial on HIPEC were included.
RESULTS: A literature review identified 86 hospitals in 25 out of all 31 areas of mainland China that perform HIPEC. The earliest report included in our survey was published in 1993. Different approaches to HIPEC have been utilized, i.e. palliative, prophylactic, and possibly curative treatment. Only one center has consistently performed HIPEC according to the “Sugarbaker Protocol”, which involves evaluating the extent of PC with peritoneal cancer index and the results of CRS with the completeness of cytoreduction. Positive preliminary results were reported: 7 of 21 patients with PC survived, free of tumors, during an 8-43-mo follow-up period. Hyperthermic strategies that include HIPEC have been practiced for a long time in mainland China, whereas the “Sugarbaker Protocol/Techniques” has been only rarely implemented in China. The Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International hosts a biannual workshop with the intent to train more specialists in this field and provide support for the construction of quality treatment centers, especially in developing countries like China, whose population is huge and has a dramatically increased incidence of cancer.
CONCLUSION: To popularize Sugarbaker Protocol/Techniques in mainland China in PC management arising from gastric cancer or colorectal cancer will be the responsibility of the upcoming Chinese Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group.

Abstract
Peritoneal Malignant Disease (PMD) is the presence of tumoral tissue on the peritoneal surface from primary tumors or tumors from other locations (e.g. digestive or gynecologic). It is a regional disease with poor prognosis when treated with repeated "debulking" and traditional systemic chemotherapy. Cytoreduction plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a combined multimodal regional procedure aimed at reducing the macroscopic tumoral mass as much as possible and treating with chemotherapy the microscopic disease that is out of the scope of the surgeon. This combined treatment may change the natural history of PMD, it is translated into a higher overall survival and cancer-free survival and it offers the option of cure in selected cases. The high-complexity procedure is also associated with complications and mortality, but in similar rates as other major oncologic procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term prognosis of patients with peritoneal malignancies has greatly improved since the introduction of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Nevertheless, CRS can be associated with high postoperative morbidity. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the influence of hepatobiliary surgery as part of CRS on postoperative short-term patient outcome. METHODS Between 2005 and 2008, a total of 63 (25%) of 252 patients with peritoneal surface malignancies undergoing CRS and HIPEC required hepatobiliary surgery. Liver resection was performed in 22, resection of Glisson capsule in 39, and bile duct resection in 2 patients. The mean age of the study population was 49.3 years. Thirty-four patients (54%) were women. RESULTS Complete macroscopic cytoreduction (CC-0/1) was reached in 59 patients (93.7%). The median hospital stay was 18 days. Twenty-two patients developed minor complications (35%), such as moderate fever, pain, or secondary wound healing. In 21 patients (33%), severe complications occurred, most commonly pancreatitis and abdominal abscess. Three patients (4.8%) developed a biliary leakage. Of these, 2 had to be reoperated. CONCLUSIONS In our experience, hepatobiliary procedures have to be performed in up to one-third of patients and are associated with a low rate of specific complications, such as biliary leakages.
