Abdom Radiol (NY) 2024:10.1007/s00261-024-04441-2. [PMID: 38976054 DOI: 10.1007/s00261-024-04441-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/13/2024] [Revised: 06/04/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024]
Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is the mainstay of potentially curative surgical treatment for malignancies that have spread to peritoneal surfaces. This surgical procedure is however associated with high morbidity and appropriate patient selection and planning is therefore essential. Available multimodality imaging techniques include CT with oral and intravenous contrast, MRI including use of dedicated peritoneal protocol and FDG-PET/CT. These used with the correct technique, read by specialist radiologists and discussed under the auspices of a dedicated multidisciplinary team, can help to improve outcomes. We demonstrate that imaging not only provides information about peritoneal disease burden but more importantly want to shift the reader's focus to disease distribution. Our examples highlight how imaging helps avoid futile surgery by identifying patients with disease in unfavourable sites and show the strength and limitations of the various imaging modalities. We share how MR imaging can help identify multifocal and often occult sites including widespread miliary disease. Our examples provide a comprehensive overview demonstrating how imaging can help plan surgery by identifying patients who may need splenic vaccinations, counselling for stoma, egg harvesting and input from surgeons with other specialist expertise greatly increasing likelihood of achieving complete cytoreduction.

Detection of Residual Peritoneal Metastases Following Cytoreductive Surgery Using Pegsitacianine, a pH-Sensitive Imaging Agent: Final Results from a Phase II Study. Ann Surg Oncol 2024; 31:4726-4734. [PMID: 38622456 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-024-15165-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND For patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, extent of disease and completeness of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) are major prognostic factors for long-term survival. Assessment of these factors could be improved using imaging agents. Pegsitacianine is a pH-sensitive polymeric micelle conjugated to the fluorophore indocyanine green. The micelle disassembles in acidic microenvironments, such as tumors, resulting in localized fluorescence unmasking. We assessed the utility of pegsitacianine in detecting residual disease following CRS. PATIENTS AND METHODS NCT04950166 was a phase II, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter US study. Patients eligible for CRS were administered an intravenous dose of pegsitacianine at 1 mg/kg 24-72 h before surgery. Following CRS, the peritoneal cavity was reexamined under near-infrared (NIR) illumination to evaluate for fluorescent tissue. Fluorescent tissue identified was excised and evaluated by histopathology. The primary outcome was the rate of clinically significant events (CSE), defined as detection of histologically confirmed residual disease excised with pegsitacianine or a revision in the assessment of completeness of CRS. Secondary outcomes included acceptable safety and pegsitacianine performance. RESULTS A total of 53 patients were screened, 50 enrolled, and 40 were evaluable for CSE across six primary tumor types. Residual disease was detected with pegsitacianine in 20 of 40 (50%) patients. Pegsitacianine showed high sensitivity and was well tolerated with no serious adverse events (SAEs). Transient treatment-related, non-anaphylactic infusion reactions occurred in 28% of patients. CONCLUSIONS Pegsitacianine was well tolerated and facilitated the recognition of occult residual disease following CRS. The high rate of residual disease detected suggests that the use of pegsitacianine augmented surgeon assessment and performance during CRS.

Modified scoring system for the quantitative assessment of histological regression in peritoneal carcinomatosis after pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy: A pilot study. Oncol Lett 2024; 28:308. [PMID: 38784603 PMCID: PMC11112145 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2024.14441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis is one of the leading causes of death in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Newer locoregional treatment concepts include pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), the regional application of pressurized chemotherapeutic agents to the abdominal cavity, which is usually performed every 4 to 8 weeks. One of the main challenges of PIPAC therapy remains the objective assessment of treatment response. The present study describes a new scoring system to histologically assess the regression of peritoneal cancer following PIPAC therapy, quantitative assessment of histological regression in peritoneal carcinomatosis (QARP). Peritoneal biopsies from 27 patients with peritoneal metastases undergoing PIPAC were obtained and processed in a standardized fashion. Biopsies were scored according to the QARP grading system. The five-tiered system was graded as follows, Grade 0, no residual tumor cells with regressive changes present; grade 1, 1-25% viable tumor cells per tumor focus with regressive changes present; grade 2, 26-50% viable tumor cells per tumor focus with regressive changes present; grade 3, 51-75% viable tumor cells per tumor focus with few regressive changes; grade 4, >75% viable tumor cells per tumor focus with minimal or no regressive changes. Based on the new grading system, the study cohort was divided into QARP responders and QARP non-responders following PIPAC treatment. Higher QARP scores were significantly correlated with higher PCI scores (r=0.32; P=0.007). However, no difference in overall survival was detected between QARP responders and QARP non-responders. Further studies are required to ascertain the reproducibility and prognostic significance of QARP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is a widely acknowledged treatment approach for peritoneal metastasis, showing favorable prognosis and long-term survival. Intraoperative scoring systems quantify tumoral burden before CRS and may predict complete cytoreduction (CC). This study reviews the intraoperative scoring systems for predicting CC and optimal cytoreduction (OC) and evaluates the predictive performance of the Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) and Predictive Index Value (PIV). METHODS Systematic searches were conducted in Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of Science. Meta-analyses of extracted data were performed to compare the absolute predictive performances of PCI and PIV. RESULTS Thirty-eight studies (5834 patients) focusing on gynecological (n = 34; 89.5%), gastrointestinal (n = 2; 5.3%) malignancies, and on tumors of various origins (n = 2; 5.3%) were identified. Seventy-seven models assessing the predictive performance of scoring systems (54 for CC and 23 for OC) were identified with PCI (n = 39/77) and PIV (n = 16/77) being the most common. Twenty models (26.0%) reinterpreted previous scoring systems of which ten (13%) used a modified version of PIV (reclassification). Meta-analyses of models predicting CC based on PCI (n = 21) and PIV (n = 8) provided an AUC estimate of 0.83 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.79-0.86; Q = 119.6, p = 0.0001; I2 = 74.1%) and 0.74 (95% CI 0.68-0.81; Q = 7.2, p = 0.41; I2 = 11.0%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Peritoneal Cancer Index models demonstrate an excellent estimate of CC, while PIV shows an acceptable performance. There is a need for high-quality studies to address management differences, establish standardized cutoff values, and focus on non-gynecological malignancies.

Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) in the Treatment of Gastric Cancer: Feasibility, Efficacy and Safety-A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2024; 13:3320. [PMID: 38893031 PMCID: PMC11173180 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13113320] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is an emerging technique for delivering chemotherapy directly to the peritoneum via a pressurized aerosol. Its growing attention stems from its effectiveness in treating peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) originating from various primary tumors, with gastric cancer (GC) being among the most prevalent. This study aimed to systematically investigate PIPAC's therapeutic role in gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis (GCPM). Methods: The systematic review and meta-analysis followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, searching Pubmed, Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases. The meta-analysis of relative risks and mean differences compared patients undergoing one or two PIPAC sessions with those completing three or more, assessing various outcomes. Results: Eighteen studies underwent qualitative analysis, and four underwent quantitative analysis. Patients with three or more PIPAC procedures had shorter hospital stays (MD = -1.2; 95%CI (-1.9; -0.5); p < 0.001), higher rates of histopathological response (RR = 1.77, 95%CI 1.08; 2.90; p = 0.023), and significantly improved overall survival (MD = 6.0; 95%CI 4.2; 7.8; p < 0.001). Other outcomes showed no significant differences. Conclusions: PIPAC demonstrated efficacy in carefully selected patients, enhancing histopathologic response rates and overall survival without prolonging hospital stays. This study underscores the necessity for randomized controlled trials and precise selection criteria to refine PIPAC's implementation in clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An incisional hernia (IH) after major abdominal surgery is an unwanted complication particularly following cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS and HIPEC). The frequency of IH among patients treated with CRS and HIPEC remains unexpectedly high in various studies. This study aimed to analyze the incidence, determine the factors contributing to the occurrence of IH, and develop methods to reduce the incidence of IH. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from a prospectively maintained structured computerized comprehensive database of 360 patients who had undergone CRS and HIPEC after January 2013 and completed two years of follow-up before December 2023. All patients were followed for a minimum period of two years with physical examination and radiological imaging when required and the occurrence of IH was documented. We used SPSS software version 24 to analyze the data using appropriate statistical tests. We set a significance threshold of p < 0.05. RESULTS Within two years of undergoing CRS and HIPEC, 25 patients (6.9%) out of 360 developed IH, indicating an annual incidence rate of 3.5%. The mean duration of hospitalization for the CRS/HIPEC procedure was 8.4 ± 4.13 days. Fifty-two (14.4%) patients experienced early post-operative surgical complications. The development of IH in our series was significantly associated with obesity (76% vs. 8.4%, P = 0.001), the occurrence of early post-operative surgical complications (48% vs. 12%, P = 0.001), mainly category III complications (44% vs. 7.1%), category IV complications (24% vs. 2.9%) according to Clavien-Dindo classification, post neoadjuvant chemotherapy status (72% vs. 87%, P = 0.045) and need for bowel anastomosis (32% vs. 11%, P = 0.002). CONCLUSION The lower incidence of IH following CRS and HIPEC in our patient cohort than in the literature can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the use of meticulous surgical techniques and the use of an abdominal binder postoperatively, particularly in obese patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Conventional surveillance methods are poorly sensitive for monitoring appendiceal cancers (AC). This study investigated the utility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in evaluating systemic therapy response and recurrence after surgery for AC. METHODS Patients from two specialized centers who underwent tumor-informed ctDNA testing (Signatera) were evaluated to determine the association between systemic therapy and ctDNA detection. In addition, the accuracy of ctDNA detection during surveillance for the diagnosis of recurrence after complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for grade 2-3 ACs with peritoneal metastases (PM) was investigated. RESULTS In this cohort of 94 patients with AC, most had grade 2-3 tumors (84.0%) and PM (84.0%). Fifty patients completed the assay in the presence of identifiable disease, among which ctDNA was detected in 4 of 7 (57.1%), 10 of 16 (62.5%), and 19 of 27 (70.4%) patients with grade 1, 2, and 3 diseases, respectively. Patients who had recently received systemic chemotherapy had ctDNA detected less frequently (7 of 16 [43.8%] v 26 of 34 [76.5%]; odds ratio, 0.22 [95% CI, 0.06 to 0.82]; P = .02). Among 36 patients with complete CRS for grade 2-3 AC-PM, 16 (44.4%) developed recurrence (median follow-up, 19.6 months). ctDNA detection was associated with shorter recurrence-free survival (median 11.3 months v not reached; hazard ratio, 14.1 [95% CI, 1.7 to 113.8]; P = .01) and showed high accuracy for the detection of recurrence (sensitivity 93.8%, specificity 85.0%). ctDNA was more sensitive than carcinoembryonic antigen (62.5%), CA19-9 (25.0%), and CA125 (18.8%) and was the only elevated biomarker in four (25%) patients with recurrence. CONCLUSION This study revealed a reduced ctDNA detection frequency after systemic therapy and accurate recurrence assessment after CRS. These findings underscore the role of ctDNA as a predictive and prognostic biomarker for grade 2-3 AC-PM management.

Abstract
Peritoneal mesothelioma (PeM) is an aggressive tumor with limited treatment options. The current study aimed to evaluate the value of next generation sequencing (NGS) of PeM samples in current practice. Foundation Medicine F1CDx NGS was performed on 20 tumor samples. This platform assesses 360 commonly somatically mutated genes in solid tumors and provides a genomic signature. Based on the detected mutations, potentially effective targeted therapies were identified. NGS was successful in 19 cases. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) was low in 10 cases, and 11 cases were microsatellite stable. In the other cases, TMB and microsatellite status could not be determined. BRCA1 associated protein 1 (BAP1) mutations were found in 32% of cases, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B) and neurofibromin 2 (NF2) mutations in 16%, and ataxia-telangiectasia mutated serine/threonine kinase (ATM) in 11%. Based on mutations in the latter two genes, potential targeted therapies are available for approximately a quarter of cases (i.e., protein kinase inhibitors for three NF2 mutated tumors, and polyADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors for two ATM mutated tumors). Extensive NGS analysis of PeM samples resulted in the identification of potentially effective targeted therapies for about one in four patients. Although these therapies are currently not available for patients with PeM, ongoing developments might result in new treatment options in the future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) are commonly known to have a dismal prognosis. Over the past decades, novel techniques such as cytoreductive surgery (CRS), hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) have been introduced for the treatment of PSM which could improve the overall survival and quality of life of patients with PSM. The decision to proceed with CRS and HIPEC is often challenging due the complexity of the disease, the extent of the procedure, associated side effects, and potential risks. Here, we present our experience with CRS and HIPEC to add to the ongoing discussion about eligibility criteria, technical approach, and expected outcomes and contribute to the evolution of this powerful and promising tool in the multidisciplinary treatment of patients with primary and secondary PSM. METHODS A single-center retrospective chart review was conducted and included a total of 40 patients treated with CRS and HIPEC from April 2020 to September 2022 at the University Hospital Münster Department of Surgery. All patients had histologically confirmed primary or secondary peritoneal malignancies of various primary origins. RESULTS Our study included 22 patients with peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer (55%), 8 with pseudomyxoma peritonei (20%), 4 with mesothelioma of the peritoneum (10%), and 6 patients with PSM originating from other primary tumor locations. Median PCI at time of cytoreduction was 4 (0-25). Completeness of cytoreduction score was 0 in 37 patients (92.5%), 1 in two patients (5%), and 2 in one patient (2.5%). Median overall survival across all patients was 3.69 years. CONCLUSION Complete cytoreduction during CRS and HIPEC can be achieved for patients with low PCI, for patients with high PCI in low-grade malignancies, and even for patients with initially high PCI in high-grade malignancies following a significant reduction of cancer burden due to extensive preoperative treatment with PIPAC and systemic chemotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The treatment of peritoneal malignancies has evolved and select patients can undergo effective surgical therapies. Access to innovative oncology procedures can be improved if programs are developed within and outside of academic cancer centers. We report the creation of a high volume, comprehensive peritoneal malignancy program developed in a community center. METHODS A retrospective single-site study was conducted using registry data comprising all patients who underwent Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) between October 2011-December 2021. RESULTS 353 patients underwent CRS and HIPEC. 208 patients experienced in-hospital morbidity (58.9 %). Group comparison by disease site, PCI, and the completeness of cytoreduction demonstrated survival differences in mean overall survival and disease-free survival in 1-, 3- and 5-year ranges. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that with a standardized protocol and a surgeon-led multidisciplinary team it is possible to offer safe outcome driven, complex oncologic surgery in a community-based cancer program.

Abstract
Objectives There are limited treatment options and no consensus on the management of advanced rare ovarian malignancies. Rare ovarian malignancies can present with peritoneal metastases (PM), featuring a similar presentation to more common ovarian subtypes. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is an effective treatment for PM of non-gynecologic origin and, recently, epithelial ovarian cancer. We evaluated the feasibility of CRS/HIPEC in the management of PM from rare ovarian malignancies and report postoperative outcomes on these patients. Methods A retrospective review of a single center, prospective database (1994-2021) was performed to identify patients with rare ovarian malignancies treated with CRS/HIPEC. Clavien-Dindo 90-day morbidity/mortality and Kaplan-Meier overall (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed. Results Of 44 patients identified, 28 underwent CRS/HIPEC. Six were aborted due to extensive disease. Histologic subtypes included: clear cell (5/28, 17.9 %), endometrioid (5/28, 17.9 %), granulosa cell (3/28, 10.7 %), low-grade serous (6/28, 21.4 %), mesonephric (1/28, 3.6 %), mucinous (6/28, 21.4 %), and small cell (2/28, 7.1 %) carcinomas. Eight (28.6 %) patients had primary and 20 (71.4 %) had recurrent disease. Median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 21 (IQR: 6-29). Complete cytoreduction (<2.5 mm residual disease) was achieved in 27/28 (96.4 %). Grade III/IV complications occurred in 9/28 (32.1 %) with one (3.6 %) mortality. After a median follow-up of 65.8 months, 20 patients were alive. Five-year OS and PFS were 68.5 and 52.6 %, respectively. Conclusions In patients with PM from rare ovarian malignancies, CRS/HIPEC is feasible and has an acceptable safety profile. Longer follow-up and multicenter trials are needed.

Abstract
Peritoneal cancer index (PCI) is the surgical variable most commonly used to quantify the extent of peritoneal metastases for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) patients. The present study aimed to investigate the agreement between CT predicted and surgical PCI by the Bland-Altman method for PMP of appendiceal origin. A total of 167 PMP patients of appendiceal origin were included between 2016 and 2021. Bland-Altman analysis was performed for both total PCI and selected PCI (regions 2 + 9-12). After the Bland-Altman plot was drawn, the mean bias and its 95% limit of agreements (LoAs) was quantified. Besides, the correlation coefficients between CT-PCI and surgical PCI were also been calculated. The Bland-Altman plot showed the mean bias ± SD between total CT-PCI and surgical PCI as 0.431 ± 3.005, with the LoAs from - 5.459 to 6.321. There were nine points of difference in total PCI exceeded the 95% LoAs, with the rate of 5.39% (9/167). As for selected CT-PCI, Bland-Altman plot showed the mean bias ± SD between selected CT-PCI and surgical PCI as - 0.287 ± 1.955, with the LoAs from - 4.118 to 3.544. There were ten points of difference in selected PCI exceeded the 95% LoAs, with the rate of 5.99% (10/167). The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between total CT-PCI and surgical PCI was 0.911, P < 0.001, as for selected CT-PCI and surgical PCI, the coefficient was 0.909, P < 0.001. Although there was a strong correlation for both total and selected CT-PCI with surgical PCI, however, the agreement is still not good in Bland-Altman analysis, which suggested that CT-PCI cannot predict surgical PCI accurately even in professional PMP treatment centers. In brief explanation, CT makes it difficult to distinguish the borderline between tumor tissue and mucus and to detect tumor lesions in the small intestine regions, which caused overestimation or underestimation by CT-PCI. In the future, a multiple linear regression model based on CT-PCI might accurately predict surgical PCI preoperatively.

Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a major undertaking with profound peri-operative metabolic and haemodynamic alterations. It requires standardised protocols for immediate postoperative intensive care management to improve patient-related outcomes. A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained data-base of 244 patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC between June 2017 and July 2022 in our institute was done. Based on the audit, six strategies were implemented, namely, (1) dynamic multiparameter-based IVF therapy to aggressively correct the hyperlactatemia, (2) initiation of IV 20% human albumin infusion from POD-0, (3) correction of serum iCa2+ levels, (4) initiation of diuresis from POD-1, (5) prophylactic use of HFNO immediately post-extubation and (6) serum procalcitonin level-based empiric escalation of IV antibiotics. Patients were divided into two cohorts, pre-protocol group of 145 patients (from June 2017 to December 2020) and post-protocol group comprising of 99 patients (from January 2021 to July 2022), and were analysed for compliance and patient-related outcomes. Implementation of these strategies improved the patient-related outcomes among the two cohorts with significant reduction of Clavien-Dindo grade III/IV complications and improvement in failure to rescue (FTR) index (p < 0.05). There was highly significant reduction in median ICU and hospital stay among the two cohorts (p < 0.001). The formulated protocols of management strategies especially multiparameter-based dynamic fluid therapy, planned diuresis and prophylactic HFNO have improved the outcomes in our patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases who are not eligible for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) owing to extensive peritoneal disease have a poor prognosis. It was hypothesized that these patients may benefit from the addition of intraperitoneal irinotecan to standard palliative systemic chemotherapy. METHODS This was a classical 3 + 3 phase I dose-escalation trial in patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases who were not eligible for CRS-HIPEC. Intraperitoneal irinotecan was administered every 2 weeks, concomitantly with systemic FOLFOX (5-fluorouracil, folinic acid, oxaliplatin)-bevacizumab. The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicities. Secondary objectives were to elucidate the systemic and intraperitoneal pharmacokinetics, safety profile, and efficacy. RESULTS Eighteen patients were treated. No dose-limiting toxicities were observed with 50 mg (4 patients) and 75 mg (9 patients) intraperitoneal irinotecan. Two dose-limiting toxicities occurred with 100 mg irinotecan among five patients. The maximum tolerated dose of intraperitoneal irinotecan was established to be 75 mg, and it was well tolerated. Intraperitoneal exposure to SN-38 (active metabolite of irinotecan) was high compared with systemic exposure (median intraperitoneal area under the curve (AUC) to systemic AUC ratio 4.6). Thirteen patients had a partial radiological response and five had stable disease. Four patients showed a complete response during post-treatment diagnostic laparoscopy. Five patients underwent salvage resection or CRS-HIPEC. Median overall survival was 23.9 months. CONCLUSION Administration of 75 mg intraperitoneal irinotecan concomitantly with systemic FOLFOX-bevacizumab was safe and well tolerated. Intraperitoneal SN-38 exposure was high and prolonged. As oncological outcomes were promising, intraperitoneal administration of irinotecan may be a good alternative to other, more invasive and costly treatment options. A phase II study is currently accruing.

Abstract
The safety and efficacy of hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) as an adjunct to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in pleural malignancies has been well demonstrated. This is most often described in cases of mesothelioma, thymoma, or other secondary pleural metastases. The utilization of a direct cytotoxic agent with increased penetration secondary to a hyperthermic environment is especially beneficial in pleural malignancy as a microscopic resection remains immensely challenging. Despite favorable outcomes with a limited associated risk profile, there persists a variety in utilization and technique of HITHOC described in current literature. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines state that though intraoperative adjuvant therapies such as HITHOC have been studied, they remain of unclear benefit and definitive recommendations do not currently exist. This ambiguity limits the standardization of HITHOC, thus hindering its further application in a patient population with exceedingly poor outcomes within current guideline-based therapy. As the prevalence of pleural malignancies necessitating CRS with adjuvant HITHOC remains quite low, we believe a task force initiative to further investigate the role of HITHOC in surgical management of pleural malignancies would enable wider utility of this promising technique. Additionally, we propose that the creation of a pleural cancer index could aid in standardization of HITHOC in those with pleural malignancy.

Abstract
Appendiceal cancer treatment may include cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC). We investigated whether patient race/ethnicity influences outcomes and overall survival for patients with appendiceal cancer who undergo CRS/HIPEC. We queried the National Cancer Database for adult patients with appendiceal cancer treated with CRS/HIPEC from 2006 to 2018. Patients were stratified by race/ethnicity: non-Hispanic White (NHW), non-Hispanic Black (NHB), Hispanic, and Other. Sociodemographics and outcomes were compared using descriptive statistics. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log-rank tests assessed differences in overall survival (OS). Cox Multivariate Regression evaluated factors associated with OS. In total, 2532 patients were identified: 2098 (82.9%) NHW, 186 (7.3%) NHB, 127 (5.0%) Hispanic, and 121 (4.8%) Other patients. The sociodemographics were statistically different across groups. The perioperative and postoperative outcomes were similar. OS was significantly different by race/ethnicity (p = 0.0029). NHB patients compared to Hispanic patients had the shortest median OS (106.7 vs. 145.9 months, p = 0.0093). Race/ethnicity was independently associated with OS: NHB (HR: 2.117 [1.306, 3.431], p = 0.0023) and NHW (HR: 1.549 [1.007, 2.383], p = 0.0463) patients compared to Hispanic patients had worse survival rates. Racial/ethnic disparities exist for patients with appendiceal cancer undergoing CRS/HIPEC. Despite having similar tumor and treatment characteristics, OS is associated with patient race/ethnicity.

Abstract
A significant proportion of patients diagnosed with gastric cancer is discovered with peritoneal metastases at laparotomy. Despite the continuous improvement in the performance of radiological imaging, the preoperative recognition of such an advanced disease is still challenging during the diagnostic work-up, since the sensitivity of CT scans to peritoneal carcinomatosis is not always adequate. Staging laparoscopy offers the chance to significantly increase the rate of promptly diagnosed peritoneal metastases, thus reducing the number of unnecessary laparotomies and modifying the initial treatment strategy of gastric cancer. The aim of this review was to provide a comprehensive summary of the current literature regarding the role of staging laparoscopy in the management of gastric cancer. Indications, techniques, accuracy, advantages, and limitations of staging laparoscopy and peritoneal cytology were discussed. Furthermore, a focus on current evidence regarding the application of artificial intelligence and image-guided surgery in staging laparoscopy was included in order to provide a picture of the future perspectives of this technique and its integration with modern tools in the preoperative management of gastric cancer.

The SAlzburg PEritoneal SUrface CAlculator (SAPESUCA): The First Web-Based Application for Peritoneal Surface Area Quantification. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3134. [PMID: 37370744 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15123134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 05/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Peritoneal metastasized colorectal cancer is associated with a worse prognosis. The combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) showed promising results in selected patients, but standardization is lacking so far. We present the first tool enabling standardized peritoneal surface area (PSA) quantification in patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC: The SAlzburg PEritoneal SUrface CAlculator (SAPESUCA). (2) Methods: SAPESUCA was programmed using the R-Shiny framework. The application was validated in 23 consecutive colon cancer patients who received 27 closed oxaliplatin-based HIPECs between 2016 and 2020. The programming algorithm incorporates the patient's body surface area and its correlated peritoneal surface area (PSA) based on the 13 Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) regions. (3) Results: Patients' median age was 56 years. Median PCI was 9. SAPESUCA revealed a mean PSA of 18,613 cm2 ± 1951 of all patients before compared to 13,681 cm2 ± 2866 after CRS. The Central PCI region revealed the highest mean peritonectomy extent (1517 cm2 ± 737). The peritonectomy extent correlated significantly with PCI score and postoperative morbidity. The simulated mean oxaliplatin dose differed significantly before and after CRS (558 mg/m2 ± 58.4 vs. 409 mg/m2 ± 86.1; p < 0.0001). (4) Conclusion: SAPESUCA is the first free web-based app for standardized determination of the resected and remaining PSA after CRS. The tool enables chemotherapeutic dose adjustment to the remaining PSA.

Prognostic significance of the immuno-peritoneal cancer index in peritoneal metastatic patients treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Langenbecks Arch Surg 2023; 408:182. [PMID: 37148400 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-023-02912-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE A valid comparison of immune function among different patients with different primary pathologies or even with different tumour burdens requires the common use of a reliable assessment of the patient's condition. The combined immuno-PCI system can translate a complex clinical situation into a simple point value to improve postoperative outcomes to assess the prognostic significance of combined immuno-PCI in peritoneal metastatic patients treated with cytoreductive surgery(CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy(HIPEC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Four hundred twenty-four patients from the prospectively maintained database of Dokuz Eylul University Peritoneal Surface Malignancy Center were retrospectively analysed. In addition to the demographic findings and the well-known clinicopathologic factors, several systemic inflammation-based prognostic scores, including the modified Glasgow prognostic score (mGPS), CRP-albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), neutrophil-thrombocyte ratio (NTR), and thrombocyte count, were all searched and stratified into scoring categories as prognostic determinants of surgical complications, final oncologic outcomes, recurrent disease, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS). ROC analyses were performed, and cut-off values were obtained for all immune parameters by using the Youden index method. RESULTS There were 314 (74%) women and 110 (26%) men. The median age was 56 (ranging from 18 to 86) years. The most frequent sites of peritoneal metastasis were colorectal (n = 204; 48%) and gynaecologic carcinomas (n = 187; 44%). Thirty-three patients (8%) had primary malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. The median follow-up was 37.8 (ranging from 1 to 124) months. The overall survival was 51.7%. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates were estimated as 80%, 48.4%, and 32.6%, respectively. PCI-CAR-NTR (1 to 3) (p < .001) scoring was an independent prognostic factor for DFS. In a Cox backwards regression analysis, anastomotic leak (p = .002), completeness of cytoreduction (p = .0014), number of organ resections (p = .002), lymph node involvement (p = .003), and PCI-CAR-NTR (1 to 3) scoring (p = .001) were found to be independently significant prognostic factors for overall survival. CONCLUSION The PCI is a reliable and consistently valid prognostic factor to evaluate the tumour burden and tumour extent in patients treated with CRS/HIPEC. Staging the host by combining the PCI with an immunoscore may help to improve the outcomes of complications and overall survival in these complex cancer patients. The aggregate maximum immuno-PCI tool may be a better prognostic measure for outcome evaluation.

Impact of neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy followed by cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for appendiceal adenocarcinoma. Asia Pac J Clin Oncol 2023. [PMID: 36880398 DOI: 10.1111/ajco.13949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2022] [Revised: 02/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
AIM Peritoneal dissemination of infiltrative appendiceal tumors is a rare and poorly understood phenomenon. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a well-recognized treatment option for selected patients. Neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy (NAC) has been shown to be associated with improved overall survival (OS) in colorectal peritoneal metastases but little is known of the impact of this from an appendiceal adenocarcinoma perspective. METHOD A prospective database of 294 patients with advanced appendiceal primary tumors undergoing CRS ± HIPEC between June 2009 and December 2020 was reviewed. Baseline characteristics and long-term outcomes were compared between patients with adenocarcinoma who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy or upfront surgery. RESULTS Eighty-six (29%) patients were histologically diagnosed with an appendiceal cancer. These included intestinal-type adenocarcinoma (11.6%), mucinous adenocarcinoma (43%), and goblet cell adenocarcinoma (GCA) or signet ring cell adenocarcinoma (SRCA) (45.4%). Twenty-five (29%) of these underwent NAC, of which eight (32%) exhibited some degree of radiological response. There was no statistical difference in OS at 3 years between the NAC and upfront surgery groups (47.3% vs. 75.8%, p = 0.372). Appendiceal histology subtypes, particularly GCA and SRCA (p = 0.039) and peritoneal carcinomatosis index >10 (p = 0.009), were factors independently associated with worse OS. CONCLUSION Administration of NAC did not appear to prolong OS in the operative management of disseminated appendiceal adenocarcinomas. GCA and SRCA subtypes display a more aggressive biological phenotype.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies from Asia indicate that normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC) may confer survival benefit in patients with gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). However, data regarding this approach is lacking in western population. The current STOPGAP trial is intended to assess 1-year progression-free survival benefit of sequential systemic chemotherapy and paclitaxel NIPEC in patients with gastric/ gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) adenocarcinoma PC. METHODS This is a prospective, single center, single arm, phase II investigator-initiated clinical trial. Patients with histologically proven gastric/GEJ (Siewert 3) adenocarcinoma with positive peritoneal cytology or PC will be eligible to participate after three months of standard of care systemic chemotherapy and with no evidence of visceral metastasis on restaging scans. The primary treatment is iterative paclitaxel NIPEC with systemic paclitaxel and 5-fluorouracil, which will be administered on days1 and 8 and repeated every three weeks for 4 cycles. Patients will undergo diagnostic laparoscopy both before and after NIPEC to assess peritoneal cancer index (PCI). Patients with PCI less than or equal to 10 in whom complete cytoreduction (CRS) is feasible may opt to undergo CRS with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). The primary endpoint is 1-year progression free survival and secondary endpoints are overall survival and patient reported quality of life outcomes measured by EuroQol- 5 dimensions-5 level (EuroQol-5D-5L) questionnaire. DISCUSSION If the sequential approach of systemic chemotherapy followed by paclitaxel NIPEC proves beneficial, then this approach could be used in larger, muti-institutional randomized clinical trial of gastric PC. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered on 21/02/2021, under clinical trials.gov; Identifier: NCT04762953.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) represents an innovative approach to treat or prevent peritoneal metastasis. However, given the morbidity that can be associated with this procedure, adequate patient selection facilitated by scoring systems for primary peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM) is paramount to ensure equitable morbidity as well as acceptable survival outcome. METHODS Seminal studies on scoring systems for PSM that have laid the foundation for adequate patient selection and prognostication are spotlighted. RESULTS Quantitative prognostic indicators have been defined for patients with PSM that enable the surgeon to make sound clinical judgements as to who may or may not benefit from CRS/HIPEC. These prognostic indicators include the histopathology of the tumor, findings on the preoperative abdominal and pelvic computerized axial tomography, the Peritoneal Cancer Index, completeness of cytoreduction score, and prior surgical score. CONCLUSIONS Scoring systems for primary peritoneal surface malignancy reviewed in this article highlight the utility of these systems for patient selection for CRS/HIPEC and prognostication.

Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM): a prospective single-center registry study. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2023; 149:1331-1341. [PMID: 36513815 PMCID: PMC9984350 DOI: 10.1007/s00432-022-04517-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a new, palliative approach for patients with peritoneal surface malignancies (PSMs). Its main goals are to control symptoms and ascites. For this experimental procedure, treatment efficacy and patient safety need to be closely monitored. METHODS We performed a prospective registry study for patients with PSMs. Cisplatin (C) (7.5 mg/m2 body surface) and doxorubicin (D) (1.5 mg/m2) were administered laparoscopically via PIPAC. RESULTS Between November 2015 and June 2020, we recorded data from 108 patients and 230 scheduled procedures. Tumor burden, patient fitness, quality of life, operating time and in-hospital stay remained stable over consecutive procedures. We recorded 21 non-access situations and 14 intraoperative complications (11 intestinal injuries, and three aspirations while inducing anesthesia). Three or more previous abdominal surgeries or cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion (HIPEC) were risk factors for non-access and intestinal injuries (χ2, p ≤ 0.01). Five Grade IV and three Grade V postoperative complications according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CDC) occurred. Median overall survival was 264 days (interquartile range 108-586). Therapies were primarily discontinued because of death (34%), progressive (26%), or regressive (16%) disease. CONCLUSION PIPAC is effective in stabilizing PSMs and retaining quality of life in selected patients. Earlier abdominal surgeries and CRS with HIPEC should be considered when determining the indication for PIPAC. Randomized controlled studies are needed to evaluate PIPAC's therapeutic benefits compared to systemic chemotherapy (sCHT) alone. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03100708 (April 2017).

Abstract
Objectives It was aimed to define the oncologic concept of "extremeness" in cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) to determine morbidity-mortality results and final oncologic outcomes. Material and Methods Prospectively recorded data of 666 patients with peritoneal metastases who had undergone CRS/HIPEC between 2007 and 2020 were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups as extreme (n= 371) and non-extreme (n= 295). Extreme CRS was defined as resection of ≥5 major organs or creation of ≥2 bowel anastomoses or peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI)≥ 15 or re-cytoreductive surgery. Results More CC-1 or CC-2 cytoreduction (p <.001), increased mortality and morbidity (p <.001), prolonged operative time (p <.001), increased intraoperative erythrocyte suspension (p <.001), albumin (p <.001), fresh frozen plasma (FFP) (p <.001), and post-operative erythrocyte suspension (p <.001) usage were found in the extreme CRS/HIPEC group. Operative time, CC-1 or CC-2 cytoreduction, presence of ostomy, development of infection, and use of intra-operative albumin and FFP were found to be independent prognostic factors in Cox regression analysis. Three and five-year survival rates were significantly lower in the extreme CRS/HIPEC group (p <.001). Conclusion High-volume peritoneal metastatic disease can be completely resected with extreme cytoreduction in carefully selected patients responsive to chemotherapy. Since the significant morbi-mortality related to the treatment of peritoneal metastasis is a real concern, it should be considered in experienced complex cancer centers that provides relatively better oncological outcomes compared to conventional treatments.

Abstract
Sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal malignancies that most commonly occur in the extremities, retroperitoneum, and head and neck. Intra-abdominal manifestations are rare and prove particularly difficult to treat when peritoneal sarcomatosis is present. Because of the overall poor prognosis of the disease, a tailored approach to surgical management is essential to achieve satisfactory outcomes with limited morbidity. We present the perioperative and long-term outcomes of 19 cases of sarcoma with peritoneal sarcomatosis treated surgically at our hospital. Treatment pathways were reviewed and clinical follow-up was performed. Patient characteristics, medical history, tumor subtype, surgical approach, hospital stay, complications, follow-up, and overall survival (OS) were assessed. Our patients were 9 women and 10 men with a median age of 45.9 years (18-88) and a median survival of 30 months (0-200). In most cases, peritoneal sarcomatosis was either discovered during surgery or the procedure was performed with palliative intent from the beginning. The surgical approach in these cases is very heterogeneous and should consider a variety of factors to tailor an approach for each patient. Sharing our experiences will help to increase knowledge about this rare disease and provide insight into the management of future cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraperitoneal paclitaxel is proved to be efficient for peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. It remains uncertain the efficacy and safety of the triplets regimen which combined intraperitoneal high-dose paclitaxel with systemic SOX in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal administration of high-dose paclitaxel, intravenous oxaliplatin and S-1 in patients with peritoneal metastatic gastric cancer. METHODS This single-center, prospective, single-arm phase II study was conducted between January 2017 and May 2019 in West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Patients diagnosed with primary gastric cancer by histopathology and confirmed synchronous peritoneal metastasis were enrolled. This study aimed to evaluate efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal administration of high-dose paclitaxel (80 mg/m2 , d1), intravenous oxaliplatin (100 mg/m2 , d1), and S-1 (80 mg/m2 , d1-14) of patients. The primary endpoint was 1-year overall survival rate, and the second endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), overall response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) and adverse events. RESULTS In this single-arm phase II clinical trial, 49 patients received SOX combined intraperitoneal high-dose paclitaxel treatment. One-year survival rate was 81.6% (95% CI, 68.6-90.0%). Median PFS and OS were 6.50 months (95% CI, 2.89-10.11) and 16.9 months (95% CI, 13.58 to 20.22), respectively; ORR was 55.3% (95% CI, 41.3-68.6) and DCR was 76.6% (95% CI, 62.8-86.4). Thirteen patients underwent second laparoscopic detection, but only nine ultimately underwent radical gastrectomy. Subgroup analysis showed that sPCI ≤12 was a good index for a favorable prognosis. The most frequent grade 3/4 toxicities were neutropenia (40.8%), anemia (22.4%), leukopenia (18.4%), nausea (14.3%), and vomiting (12.2%). None of the patients had any intraperitoneal catheter-related complications. CONCLUSIONS Intraperitoneal high-dose paclitaxel with systemic SOX is an effective and tolerable first-line treatment for patients with peritoneal metastatic gastric cancer and patients with sPCI≤12 scores might be recommended crowd for this regimen as conversion therapy.

Background Peritoneal malignant tumors in children are rare but commonly associated with disease progression and poor outcome. The successful treatment experience of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in adult peritoneal carcinoma has been applied to pediatric peritoneal malignancy in recent years. However, patients with desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) accounted for the majority of patients treated with CRS and HIPEC in previous studies. The role of CRS and HIPEC remains controversial due to the rarity of the disease and the limited sample size of studies. Additionally, the cases using CRS and HIPEC except DSRCT were mainly small case reports with unclear outcomes. We present our experience in the treatment of pediatric peritoneal malignancies using CRS and HIPEC, with more emphasis on the safety, feasibility, and short-term outcome. Methods A retrospective query from December 2019 to February 2022 identified 19 children with peritoneal malignancies who underwent CRS and HIPEC in our institution. Clinical characteristics, therapies, and outcomes were summarized and analyzed. Results The median age of the patients was 6.4 years (range, 0.7-13.9 years). The histologic types included rhabdomyosarcoma (7), Wilms tumor (2), clear cell sarcoma of the kidney (2), undifferentiated sarcoma (2), immature teratoma (1), peritoneal serous carcinoma (1), malignant rhabdoid of the kidney (1), malignant germ cell tumor (1), neuroblastoma (1), and epithelioid inflammatory myofibroblast sarcoma (1). Seven patients underwent initial operation, and 12 patients received reoperation for tumor recurrence. The median peritoneal carcinomatosis index was 5 (range, 2-21). There were no perioperative deaths or life-threatening complications of CRS and HIPEC. Two patients had grade 3 complications of wound infection and wound dehiscence. With a median follow-up time of 14 months (range, 1.5-31 months), 14 patients were alive, and 5 died of tumor recurrence. Of the 14 patients who were alive, 2 relapsed after CRS and HIPEC and then received radiotherapy and molecular-targeted therapy or chemotherapy. Conclusions CRS and HIPEC are safe and feasible in children, without increasing serious complications in the peri- and postoperative periods. The complication is acceptable. The short-term outcome shows possible effectiveness in pediatric peritoneal malignant tumors. The long-term effectiveness needs to be verified by additional cases and long-term follow-ups.

Implementation of an enhanced recovery program for complete cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in a referral center: a case control prospective study. Pleura Peritoneum 2023; 8:11-18. [PMID: 37020473 PMCID: PMC10067553 DOI: 10.1515/pp-2022-0133] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Objectives
Current recommendations regarding enhanced recovery programs (ERPs) after complete cytoreductive surgery (CCRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are based on a low level of evidence. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of implementing an adapted ERP for CCRS and HIPEC in a referral center.
Methods
We conducted a study with a prospective group of 44 patients (post-ERP group) who underwent CCRS with HIPEC between July 2016 and June 2018, the period during which ERP was implemented. This group was compared to a second retrospective group of 21 patients who underwent CCRS with HIPEC between June 2015 and June 2016, during which ERP was not yet implemented (pre-ERP group).
Results
The ERP compliance rate was 65% in the post-ERP group. The hospital length of stay (HLS) was shorter in the post-ERP group: 24.9 days (IQR 11–68, pre-ERP group) vs. 16.1 days (IQR 6–45, post-ERP group), as was the major morbidity rate (pre-ERP group=33.3% vs. post-ERP group=20.5%). The nasogastric tube, urinary catheter and abdominal drains were all retrieved faster in the post-ERP group.
Conclusions
The implementation of an adapted ERP after CCRS with HIPEC procedures reduces morbidity and shortens the HLS.

Abstract
Introduction: Hyperthermic IntraPEritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) has evolved as a treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis in various tumors after a careful and complete cytoreductive surgery, and it demonstrated much better and longer survival than more traditional therapeutic schemas. Our objective has been to examine the safety, efficacy and survival achieved with closed technique with CO2-agitation system Combat PRS® (Peritoneal Recirculation System: PRS). To achieve this, we compared the appearance of adverse events, mortality and survival with the described using classic techniques (open, closed without CO2-agitation) for the treatment of selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis; Materials and methods: We studied overall survival, disease-free survival and safety (morbidity and mortality) of the administration of HIPEC through a closed method technique with CO2 recirculation (Combat PRS®) in 482 patients from 11 Spanish hospitals; Results: The mortality of our technique (1.66%) was similar to other published techniques (open, closed). Morbidity exhibited a 9.96% rate of Clavien-Dindo (CD) III/IV complications in 482 patients, which was lower than in other series. Survival (overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS)) was similar to previously published results: 86% 1y-OS, 54% 3y-OS, 77% 1y-DFS and 31% 3y-DFS; Conclusion: The procedure with closed PRS with CO2 agitation is as safe as standard open and closed procedures for the administration of HIPEC after complete cytoreductive surgery, with similar and very low mortality (1.66%) and lower morbidity (9.96% CD III and IV in our series vs range of 20–40% in the majority of different series); only Kusamura had similar results, with 12% in 205 patients, using the closed technique without CO2 agitation).

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death due to gynecologic malignancies, with more than 70% of patients presenting with advanced stage disease at the time of diagnosis. The extent and distribution of tumor guide primary treatment selection and clinical management. While primary cytoreductive surgery with complete tumor resection improves survival, patients with extensive peritoneal disease may benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy first to reduce tumor burden followed by interval cytoreductive surgery. Imaging plays an essential role in triaging patients including selecting patients who may benefit from neoadjuvant chemotherapy before cytoreductive surgery. Interestingly, there are no universally established criteria to predict resectability and local practices depend on local guidelines and surgeon preferences. Nevertheless, certain anatomical tumor locations are known to be difficult to resect and are associated with suboptimal cytoreduction or require special surgical considerations. This review discusses the recent advances in the initial management of patients with ovarian cancer, a practical approach to the assessment and communication of peritoneal metastases locations on CT and MRI. It also explores recent advances in genomics profiling and radiomics that may influence the initial management of these patients.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. Although surgery is the primary treatment, serious maladies that dissipate to other parts of the body may require chemotherapy. As there is no effective procedure to treat stomach cancer, natural small molecules are a current focus of research interest for the development of better therapeutics. Chemotherapy is usually used as a last resort for people with advanced stomach cancer. Anti-colon cancer chemotherapy has become increasingly effective due to drug resistance and sensitivity across a wide spectrum of drugs. Naturally-occurring substances have been widely acknowledged as an important project for discovering innovative medications, and many therapeutic pharmaceuticals are made from natural small molecules. Although the beneficial effects of natural products are as yet unknown, emerging data suggest that several natural small molecules could suppress the progression of stomach cancer. Therefore, the underlying mechanism of natural small molecules for pathways that are directly involved in the pathogenesis of cancerous diseases is reviewed in this article. Chemotherapy and molecularly-targeted drugs can provide hope to colon cancer patients. New discoveries could help in the fight against cancer, and future stomach cancer therapies will probably include molecularly formulated drugs.

Abstract
We aimed to determine the prognostic role of ileal resection on postoperative complications and the final oncological results of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) treatment in patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM). Patients with PM who underwent CRS and HIPEC between 2007 and 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Ileal resection was defined as the resection of the ileum at 100 cm or below. Patients were divided into ileal-resection and non-ileal resection groups. Besides clinico-pathological variables, peritoneal cancer index (PCI), completeness of cytoreduction (CC-0-1-2), (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy, operative time, need for surgical intensive care unit, and usage of blood products were all evaluated. The data of 664 patients was analyzed. Ileal resection was performed in 346(52.1%) patients. The median follow-up period was 27 months. The ileal resection group had significantly lower 3-and 5-year survival rates (55% and 43% vs. 69% and 52, p = .005, respectively). High PCI score (p < .001), more CC-1-2 cytoreductions (p < .001), more anastomoses (p < .001), prolonged operative time (p < .001), more ostomy creation (p = .001), increased morbidity (p < .001), and more infectious complications (p < .001) were all significantly associated with ileal resection. The loss of ileal function has a potential prognostic role in increased post-operative complications and worsened overall survival in patients with PMs.

Abstract
Background Since novel strategies for prevention and treatment of metachronous peritoneal metastases (mPM) are under study, it appears crucial to identify their risk factors. Our aim is to establish the incidence of mPM after surgery for colon cancer (CC) and to build a statistical model to predict the risk of recurrence. Patients and Methods Retrospective analysis of consecutive pT3–4 CC operated at five referral centers (2014–2018). Patients who developed mPM were compared with patients who were PM-free at follow-up. A scoring system was built on the basis of a logistic regression model. Results Of the 1423 included patients, 74 (5.2%) developed mPM. Patients in the PM group presented higher preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) [median (IQR): 4.5 (2.5–13.0) vs. 2.7 (1.5–5.9), P = 0.001] and CA 19-9 [median (IQR): 17.7 (12.0–37.0) vs. 10.8 (5.0–21.0), P = 0.001], advanced disease (pT4a 42.6% vs. 13.5%; pT4b 16.2% vs. 3.2%; P < 0.001), and negative pathological characteristics. Multivariate logistic regression identified CA 19-9, pT stage, pN stage, extent of lymphadenectomy, and lymphovascular invasion as significant predictors, and individual risk scores were calculated for each patient. The risk of recurrence increased remarkably with score values, and the model demonstrated a high negative predictive value (98.8%) and accuracy (83.9%) for scores below five. Conclusions Besides confirming incidence and risk factors for mPM, our study developed a useful clinical tool for prediction of mPM risk. After external validation, this scoring system may guide personalized decision-making for patients with locally advanced CC.

Prospective Comparison of the Performance of MRI Versus CT in the Detection and Evaluation of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14133179.

Abstract
Background: The performance of MRI versus CT in the detection and evaluation of peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) remains unclear in the current literature. Our study is the first prospective study in an Asian center comparing the two imaging modalities, validated against intra-operative findings. Methods: A total of 36 patients with PSM eligible for CRS-HIPEC underwent both MRI and CT scans up to 6 weeks before the operation. The scans were assessed for the presence and distribution of PSM and scored using the peritoneal cancer index (PCI), which were compared against PCI determined at surgery. Results: Both MRI and CT were 100% sensitive and specific in detecting the overall presence of PSM. Across all peritoneal regions, the sensitivity and specificity for PSM detection was 49.1% and 93.0% for MRI, compared to 47.8% and 95.1% for CT (p = 0.76). MRI was more sensitive than CT for small bowel disease, although the difference did not reach statistical significance. Comparing PCI on imaging with intra-operative PCI, the mean difference was found to be −3.4 ± 5.4 (p < 0.01) for MRI, and −3.9 ± 4.1 (p < 0.01) for CT. The correlation between imaging and intra-operative PCI was poor, with a concordance coefficient of 0.76 and 0.79 for MRI and CT, respectively. Within individual peritoneal regions, there was also poor agreement between imaging and intra-operative PCI for both modalities, other than in regions 1 and 3. Conclusion: MRI and CT are comparable in the detection and evaluation of PSM. While sensitive in the overall detection of PSM, they are likely to underestimate the true disease burden.

[PMID: 35720004 PMCID: PMC9204482 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.888680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective The imaging features of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) with different locations and pathological types of colorectal cancer (CRC) on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) were analyzed and discussed. Methods The PET/CT data of 132 patients with colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CRPC) who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria between May 30, 2016, and December 31, 2019, were collected and analyzed. Observations included the location and pathological type of CRC, the peritoneal cancer index (PCI), standardized uptake maximum value (SUVmax), and retention index (RI) of the CRPC. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0 software, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results (1) The range of the PCI in the 132 patients studied was 2–30, with a mean value of 7.40 ± 8.14. The maximum long diameter of the CRPC lesions ranged from 0.6 to 12.1 cm, with an average of 3.23 ± 1.94 cm. The SUVmax ranged from 1.2 to 31.0, with a mean value of 9.65 ± 6.01. The SUVmax and size correlation coefficient for maximal CRPC lesions was r = 0.47 (P < 0.001). The RI range of the 72 patients who underwent time-lapse scanning was -10.0–112.2%, with RI quartiles of 13.5–48.9%; RI was ≥5% in 65 cases and <5% in seven cases. (2) The patients were grouped by the location of their CRC: the right-sided colon cancer (RCC, n = 37), left-sided colon cancer (LCC, n = 44), and rectal cancer groups (RC, n = 51). There were significant differences in the CRC pathological types (P = 0.009) and PCI scores (P = 0.02) between the RCC and RC groups and the RI between the RCC group and the other two groups (P < 0.001). (3) There were 88 patients organized into three groups by the pathology of their CRC: the moderately well-differentiated adenocarcinoma (group A, n = 57), poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma (group B, n = 16), and mucinous adenocarcinoma groups (group C, n = 15 cases, including one case of signet-ring cell carcinoma). There were significant differences in the CRC position (P = 0.003) and SUVmax (P = 0.03) between groups A and C. Conclusion The PCI, SUVmax, and RI of peritoneal metastatic carcinoma caused by CRC in different locations and pathological types vary. Mucinous adenocarcinoma and poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma are relatively common in the right colon, and the PCI of peritoneal metastatic carcinoma is fairly high, but the SUVmax and RI are somewhat low.

Current Trends in Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for Peritoneal Disease from Appendiceal and Colorectal Malignancies. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11102840. [PMID: 35628966 PMCID: PMC9143396 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11102840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a poor prognostic factor for all malignancies. This extent of metastatic disease progression remains difficult to treat with systemic therapies due to poor peritoneal vascularization resulting in limited drug delivery and penetration into tissues. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are surgical interventions that directly target peritoneal tumors and have improved outcomes for PC resulting from appendiceal and colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite these radical therapies, long-term survival remains infrequent, and recurrence is common. The reasons for these outcomes are multifactorial and signal the need for the continued development of novel therapeutics, techniques, and approaches to improve outcomes for these patients. Here, we review landmark historical studies that serve as the foundation for current recommendations, recent discoveries, clinical trials, active research, and areas of future interest in CRS/HIPEC to treat PC originating from appendiceal and colorectal malignancies.

Abstract
Background The utility of heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the management of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) has been assessed in several randomised clinical trials and meta-analyses, and it is still a subject of controversy. Therefore, we performed an umbrella review of existing meta-analyses to summarise the outcomes of HIPEC and cytoreductive surgery (CRS) association in ovarian cancer. Methods We examined the MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Prospero, Web of Science and Science Direct from inception to May 30, 2020, for meta-analyses of randomised controlled trials and observational studies. Analyses of overall survival, disease free survival and progression survival were performed separately for primary and recurrent ovarian cancers. Results We identified 6 meta-analyses investigating the association of HIPEC with CRS in the management of ovarian cancer. Three year overall survival was significantly improved by the association of CRS and HIPEC for primary (HR: 0.66, 95%CI:0.56-0.78) and recurrent ovarian cancers (HR:0.50, 95%CI:0.38-0.64). This benefit was also demonstrated on disease-free survival for primary (HR: 0.54, 95%CI:0.48-0.61) and recurrent ovarian cancer (HR: 0.60, 95%CI:0.46-0.78). The pooled hazard ratios confirmed the advantage of HIPEC and CRS association with respect to CRS alone on progression free survival for primary and recurrent ovarian cancer respectively with HR: 0.50, 95%CI: 0.43-0.58 and HR: 0.59, 95%CI: 0.41-0.85. Conclusion While waiting for the results of the current prospective studies, the present umbrella study suggests that HIPEC performed at the end of CRS may be a complementary effective asset for ovarian cancer patient management.

Is CRS-HIPEC Still Indicated in Patients With Extraperitoneal Disease? J Surg Res 2022; 277:269-278. [PMID: 35525209 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2022.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2021] [Revised: 02/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The role of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with extraperitoneal disease (EPD) is controversial. METHODS Among patients with peritoneal metastases from appendiceal cancer (AC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) who underwent CRS-HIPEC, those with EPD (liver, lung, or retroperitoneal lymph nodes [RP LN]) were retrospectively compared to those without EPD. Overall (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) analyses were performed before/after propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS Among 1341 patients with AC (64%) or CRC (36%) who underwent CRS ± HIPEC, 134 (10%) had EPD whereas 1207 (90%) did not. EPD was located in the lungs (47%), RP LN (28%), liver (18%), or multiple (6%). Patients with EPD experienced worse median OS (34 versus 63 mo; P = 0.002) and RFS (12 versus 19 mo; P < 0.001). On a multivariable analysis, EPD was associated with worse RFS (P = 0.003), but not OS (P = 0.071). After PSM, the association of EPD with OS (P = 0.204) and RFS (P = 0.056) was no longer significant. In the multivariable analysis of the PSM cohort, EPD was not associated with OS (P = 0.157) or RFS (P = 0.110). CONCLUSIONS The findings of this large retrospective multi-institutional study suggest that EPD alone, while a negative prognostic indicator, should not be considered an absolute contraindication to CRS ± HIPEC for otherwise well-selected patients with peritoneal surface malignancies. Further research is needed to delineate whether location of EPD influences OS and RFS following CRS-HIPEC.

Abstract
Objectives Peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score is a common prognostication tool in peritoneal metastases (PM). We hypothesize that the distribution of PCI score and involvement of specific regions affects survival and morbidity outcomes. Methods Data was collected from a prospective database of patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC for PM at the National Cancer Centre Singapore. We evaluate the relationship between PCI, PCI distribution, and survival and morbidity outcomes. Results One hundred and fifty-two patients underwent CRS and HIPEC with a median PCI score of nine (range 0–31). Median overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were 43 and 17 months, respectively. Region six (pelvis) was most commonly involved and had the highest frequency of heavy disease burden. Presence of PM in the lower abdomen, flanks, and small bowel were associated with poorer OS (p=0.01, 0.03, <0.001) and PFS (p=0.04, 0.02, <0.001). Involvement of porta hepatitis predicted poorer OS but not PFS (p=0.03). Involvement of the gastric antrum resulted in higher rates of postoperative complications. Conclusions The pattern of PCI distribution may be associated with varying survival and morbidity outcomes.

Abstract
Background Cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) is an effective treatment option for appropriately selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Our aim was to analyze a multidisciplinary approach and to study the perioperative risk factors associated with morbidity and mortality. Methods We reviewed all patients who underwent CRS + HIPEC from January 2019 till December 2020 at our oncologic center. Patient demographics, risk scores, intraoperative variables, postoperative care, analgesia protocol, and adverse events (AE) within 30 days after treatment were collected and statistically analyzed. Results Of the 98 patients evaluated preoperatively by a multidisciplinary team, 39 patients required active optimization. The median age was 61 years, and 67 were women. Most tumors were appendiceal in origin. The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) score was 12, and the median operative time length (OTL) was 400 minutes. Body mass index, Physiological and Operative Severity Score for the enUmeration of morbidity, PCI score, crystalloid volume, cell concentrates, and OTL were associated with postoperative intensive care unit admission (p <0.05). Epidural analgesia was given to 74 patients. AEs occurred in 39 patients, and 25 of the AEs were classified as mild or moderate. The intraoperative variables associated with development of AEs were anesthesia technique, estimated blood loss, crystalloid volume, cell concentrates, OTL, and analgesia protocol (p <0.05). On multivariate analysis, crystalloid volume >6 L, intravenous sufentanil analgesic protocol, and OTL were associated with 67%, 38%, and 15% increased risk of AE, respectively. Conclusion Our study highlighted the importance of a perioperative protocol with a standardized multidisciplinary approach in order to decrease the incidence of postoperative AE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Extensive abdominal surgery is associated with the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. This study aims to explore the incidence and risk factors for developing postoperative pulmonary complications after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and to analyze how these complications affect overall survival. METHODS Data were collected on 417 patients undergoing surgery between 2007 and2017 at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden. Postoperative pulmonary complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo classification system where Grade ≥ 3 was considered a severe complication. A logistic regression analysis was used to analyze risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications and a Cox proportional hazards model to assess impact on survival. RESULTS Seventy-two patients (17%) developed severe postoperative pulmonary complications. Risk factors were full thickness diaphragmatic injury and/or diaphragmatic resection [OR 5.393, 95% CI 2.924-9.948, p = < 0.001]. Severe postoperative pulmonary complications, in combination with non-pulmonary complications, contributed to decreased overall survival [HR 2.285, 95% CI 1.232-4.241, p = 0.009]. CONCLUSIONS Severe postoperative pulmonary complications were common and contributed to decreased overall survival. Full thickness diaphragmatic injury and/or diaphragmatic resection were the main risk factors. This finding emphasizes the need for further research on the mechanisms behind pulmonary complications and their association with mortality.

Abstract
Appendiceal primary peritoneal surface malignancies are rare and include a broad spectrum of pathologies ranging from indolent disease to aggressive disease. As such, the data that drive the management of appendiceal peritoneal surface malignancies is generally not based on prospective clinical trial data, but rather consists of level 1 data based on retrospective studies and high-volume institutional experiences. Complete surgical debulking typically offers the best chance for long-term survival. This review highlights the landmark articles on which management of primary appendiceal peritoneal surface malignancies are based.

Abstract
PURPOSE To characterize and investigate PET/CT findings in the omentum in the differentiation of tuberculous peritonitis (TBP) and peritoneal carcinoma (PC). METHODS Thirty-nine patients with TBP and 113 patients with PC who underwent PET/CT were retrospectively enrolled. The omental uptake intensity, distribution characteristics, contracture, size and boundary of soft-tissue lesions, and CT patterns were reviewed. RESULTS Absent and focal FDG uptake in the lesser omentum was more common in the PC patients (P = 0.034 and P = 0.017, respectively), and diffuse FDG uptake in the lesser omentum was more common in the TBP patients (P < 0.001). An apron-like pattern in the greater omentum commonly occurred in the TBP patients (P = 0.004). Micronodules (< 5 mm) were more common in the TBP patients (P < 0.001), and masses (> 3 cm) were more common in the PC patients (P = 0.001). Smudged and nodular patterns occurred more frequently in the TBP patients than in the PC patients (P < 0.001 and P = 0.003, respectively), and the caked pattern occurred more frequently in the PC patients (P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the FDG uptake intensity and the boundary of soft-tissue lesions between the TBP and PC patients (P = 0.191 and P = 0.061, respectively). CONCLUSION Diffuse FDG uptake, an apron-like pattern, micronodules, and a smudged and nodular pattern might be significant differential features of TBP. Absent and/or focal FDG uptake, mass, and a caked pattern might be significant differential features of PC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the feasibility and safety of the laparoscopic approach after neoadjuvant chemotherapy among selected chemosensitive patients with advanced ovarian cancer. METHODS The CILOVE study was a phase II prospective non-randomized multicenter study. It aimed to enroll 47 women with unresectable disease at the time of initial diagnosis (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IV and/or diffuse extensive carcinomatosis for advanced FIGO stage IIIC or patients unfit to withstand radical primary surgery), in response to chemotherapy and fit to undergo laparoscopy. RESULTS Among the 48 patients enrolled in the trial, 44 (92%) patients underwent exploratory staging laparoscopy and, as a result, 41 patients were eligible for cytoreductive surgery. Among them, 32 were intended to be managed by laparoscopy and nine patients were managed by laparotomy. The conversion rate to laparotomy was 9.4% (3/32) and the reasons were multiple surgical adhesions (n=1), miliary carcinomatosis and adhesion to the intraperitoneal mesh (n=1), and poor laparoscopic evaluation of transverse colon involvement (n=1). All except one patient had optimal cytoreduction (97% complete cytoreduction, 3% incomplete cytoreduction (residual tumor <2.5 mm)). The median operative time was 267 min (range 146-415) and the median estimated blood loss was 150 mL (range 0-500). Two patients had intra-operative complications: one diaphragm rupture that was repaired during laparoscopy and one bradycardia. Six patients experienced early post-operative complications (<1 month), but there were no grade 3 and 4 complications (3 infections, 1 lymphoedema, 2 hemorrhage). After cytoreductive laparoscopy, the percentage of patients without progression at 12 months was 87.5%. CONCLUSIONS Interval ovarian cytoreduction by a laparoscopic approach is safe and feasible for patients with a favorable response to chemotherapy. With the widespread use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the management of advanced ovarian cancer, a minimally invasive approach may be a potential option.

Abstract
Intra-abdominal desmoplastic small round cell tumor (IDSRCT) is a rare and highly malignant soft tissue neoplasm, which is characterized by rapid progression and poor prognosis. The mechanism underlying the development of this neoplasm remains elusive, but all cases are characterized by the chromosomal translocation t (11;22) (p13; q12), which results in a formation of EWSR1-WT1 gene fusion. The diagnosis of IDSRCT is often made with core-needle tissue biopsy specimens or laparoscopy or laparotomy. Immunohistochemical analyses have shown the co-expression of epithelial, neuronal, myogenic, and mesenchymal differentiation markers. FISH or reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction detecting EWS-WT1 fusion can be performed to assist in molecular confirmation. There is no standard of care for patients with IDSRCT currently, and majority of newly diagnosed patients received the aggressive therapy, which includes >90% resection of surgical debulking, high-dose alkylator-based chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. More recently, targeted therapy has been increasingly administered to recurrent IDSRCT patients and has been associated with improved survival in clinical conditions. Immunotherapy as a possible therapeutic strategy is being explored in patients with IDSRCT. In this review, we summarize currently available knowledge regarding the epidemiology, potential mechanisms, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of IDSRCT to assist oncologists in comprehensively recognizing and accurately treating this malignancy.
