Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a complex manifestation of abdominal cancers, with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Recent work identifying high concentrations of the cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its soluble receptor (sIL-6-Rα) in the peritoneal cavity of patients with PC has highlighted this pathway as an emerging potential therapeutic target. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the potential role of IL-6 in the development and progression of PC. We discuss mechansims by which the IL-6 pathway may contribute to peritoneal tumor dissemination, mesothelial adhesion and invasion, stromal invasion and proliferation, and immune response modulation. Finally, we review the prospects for targeting the IL-6 pathway in the treatment of PC, focusing on common sites of origin, including ovarian, gastric, pancreatic, colorectal and appendiceal cancer, and mesothelioma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND OR PURPOSE Carcinomatosis, a distinct pattern of metastatic cancer in the peritoneal cavity, poses challenges for treatment and has limited therapeutic options. Understanding the immune environment of peritoneal surface malignancies is crucial for developing effective immunotherapeutic approaches. This study characterizes soluble immune mediators in the peritoneal fluid of patients with and without carcinomatosis to identify targets for novel treatment strategies. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum and peritoneal fluid samples were collected from surgical patients, and a multianalyte analysis was performed using the Luminex platform. Patient characteristics, tumor sites, and sample collection details were recorded. Soluble immune mediator levels were measured and compared between peritoneal fluid and serum samples and among clinical subgroups. Statistical analysis was conducted to assess differences in analyte concentrations and correlations between samples. RESULTS There were 39 patients included in the study, with varying surgical indications. Significant differences were observed in soluble immune mediator levels between peritoneal fluid and serum, with peritoneal fluid exhibiting lower concentrations. Carcinomatosis was associated with elevated levels of proinflammatory mediators, including IL-6 and IL-8, while adaptive immune response markers were low in peritoneal fluid. CONCLUSIONS The peritoneal immune microenvironment in carcinomatosis favors innate immunity, presenting a challenging environment for effective antitumor response. High levels of proinflammatory mediators suggest potential targets for intervention, such as the IL-6 axis, FGF2, IL-8, and CCL2; these could be explored as potential mitigators of malignant ascites and enhance anti-tumor immune responses. These findings provide valuable insights for developing immunotherapy strategies and improving outcomes in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
We report a case of ruptured low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm with an impressive toy puffer ball-like appearance on magnetic resonance imaging. A 79-year-old woman with lower abdominal pain underwent computed tomography scanning, revealing a 6-cm mass in the right lower abdomen. T2-weighted images showed a radial low-signal structure in the central area of the mass, which was presumed to be fibrotic. Pathology confirmed ruptured low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. The rupture point was at the tip of the appendix, coinciding with the center of radial fibrosis. The unique morphology of the puffer ball-like appearance in this case may be a characteristic of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms.

Abstract
Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSMs) are usually associated with a poor prognosis. Nonetheless, in line with advances in the management of most abdominopelvic metastatic diseases, considerable progress has been made over the past decade. An improved understanding of disease biology has led to the more accurate prediction of neoplasia aggressiveness and the treatment response and has been reflected in the proposal of new classification systems. Achieving complete cytoreductive surgery remains the cornerstone of curative-intent treatment of PSMs. Alongside centralization in expert centres, enabling the delivery of multimodal and multidisciplinary strategies, preoperative management is a crucial step in order to select patients who are most likely to benefit from surgery. Depending on the specific PSM, the role of intraperitoneal chemotherapy and of perioperative systemic chemotherapy, in particular, in the neoadjuvant setting, is established in certain scenarios but questioned in several others, although more prospective data are required. In this Review, we describe advances in all aspects of the management of PSMs including disease biology, assessment and improvement of disease resectability, perioperative management, systemic therapy and pre-emptive management, and we speculate on future research directions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (LAMN) is a rare disease, which prognostic factors were difficult to evaluate. Inflammation markers, like neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), were used as prognosticators for various cancers. This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of pretreatment NLR and PLR on LAMN. METHODS From January 2000 to September 2018, there were 57 patients diagnosed with LAMN in Taipei Veterans General Hospital. Patients diagnosed with mucinous cystadenoma, mucinous tumor with uncertain malignant potential before 2010 were also included based on previous classification. Clinical and pathological data were collected. Patients were separated into high-NLR (NLR-H) and low-NLR (NLR-L) groups according to cutoff value of 3. Similarly, they were separated into high-PLR (PLR-H), and low-PLR (PLR-L) groups with cutoff value of 300. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were analyzed. RESULTS Among all patients, the median follow-up time was 42 months. Age, gender, clinical manifestations, type of surgery, and T stage were similar in different NLR and PLR groups. Both NLR-H and PLR-H groups had higher rate of M1 stage of diseases (22.7% vs 9.4%, p = 0.04; 57.1% vs 8.8%, p < 0.01, respectively). PLR-H group had more presence of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) (57.1% vs 15.2%, p = 0.03). In univariate analysis, factors such as age, gender, tumor perforation, and operation did not have impact on OS nor RFS. On the other hand, M1b stage is the only significantly poor prognostic factor on RFS (hazard ratio, 57.96, 95% CI, 5.16-651.23, p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Both NLR-H and PLR-H had more M1 stage of diseases, but they were not correlated to OS nor RFS. PLR-H group had higher rate of presence PMP. Nevertheless, patients with LAMN and cellular PMP (M1b stage) had a higher rate of recurrence, and other factors showed no statistical difference in OS nor RFS.

Abstract
The mechanisms by which neoplastic cells disseminate from the primary tumor to metastatic sites, so-called metastatic organotropism, remain poorly understood. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays a role in cancer development and progression by converting static epithelial cells into the migratory and microenvironment-interacting mesenchymal cells, and by the modulation of chemoresistance and stemness of tumor cells. Several findings highlight that pathways involved in EMT and its reverse process (mesenchymal-epithelial transition, MET), now collectively called epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP), play a role in peritoneal metastases. So far, the relevance of factors linked to EMP in a unique peritoneal malignancy such as pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) has not been fully elucidated. In this review, we focus on the role of epithelial-mesenchymal dynamics in the metastatic process involving mucinous neoplastic dissemination in the peritoneum. In particular, we discuss the role of expression profiles and phenotypic transitions found in PMP in light of the recent concept of EMP. A better understanding of EMP-associated mechanisms driving peritoneal metastasis will help to provide a more targeted approach for PMP patients selected for locoregional interventions involving cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Abstract
Background: Acellular pseudomyxoma peritonei (aPMP) is a rare peritoneal malignancy characterized by the accumulation of large amounts of mucin (lacking tumor cells) in the peritoneum. Many cases account for several kilograms of mucin to be screened by the pathologist. This is a comprehensive study of three patients with aPMP, whose tumors showed KRAS mutation, allowing for the tracking of this marker by liquid biopsy. Methods: Pre and post-surgery plasma, and mucin removed during cytoreductive surgery were collected from the patients. KRAS mutations were analyzed using droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR). Mucin was injected in mice. KRAS and cytokine levels were measured in plasma of the mice using ddPCR and a magnetic bead-based assay. Mucin microbiome was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing. Results: KRAS mutations were detected in mucin cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the three patients but not in the pre or post-surgery plasma. Electron microscopy detected microparticles (diameter <0.4 µm) in mucin. Mucin from one patient grew up inside the peritoneal cavity of mice and human KRAS was identified in mucin cfDNA, but not in plasma. All mucins showed the same bacterial profile. Cytokine levels were slightly altered in mice. Conclusions: The three aPMP patients included in this study shared some common aspects: the absence of tumor cells in mucin, the presence of KRAS mutated cfDNA in mucin, and the absence of this tumor-derived mutation in the bloodstream, providing additional information to the routine pathological examinations and suggesting that mucin cfDNA could potentially play a role in aPMP recurrence and prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Appendiceal cancer is a rare malignancy. The optimal pathologic classification and prognostic factors for survival and treatment strategies remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to determine prognostic factors, including markers of systemic inflammation, for survival in a cohort of patients with advanced appendiceal adenocarcinomas. METHODS The study included patients with advanced appendiceal carcinoma that were treated between January 2006 and June 2012. The associations between age, gender, histopathologic subtype of appendiceal malignancy and treatment with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and overall survival (OS) were assessed. The relationship between various markers of inflammation (platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio) and OS was also evaluated. RESULTS A total of 49 patients met eligibility criteria. Female gender and low-grade adenocarcinoma were associated with increased OS. These data suggest that the use of HIPEC treatment may also be associated with improved OS, but the difference was not statistically significant (HR = 0.37 [0.12-1.18], p = 0.09). We found no evidence of an association between markers of inflammation at diagnosis and OS. CONCLUSIONS Histopathologic subtype and gender are associated with OS in patients with advanced appendiceal carcinoma. Baseline platelet levels, NLR, and PLR do not appear to be predictive of OS in this setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE After the seeding ovarian cancer cells into the peritoneal cavity, ascitic fluid creates a microenvironment in which these cells can survive and disseminate. The exact nature of the interactions between malignant ascitic fluids and peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMCs) in ovarian cancer progression has so far remained elusive. Here we assessed whether malignant ascitic fluids may promote the senescence of HPMCs and, by doing so, enhance the acquisition of their pro-cancerogenic phenotype. METHODS Primary omentum-derived HPMCs, ovarian cancer-derived cell lines (A2780, OVCAR-3, SKOV-3), malignant ascitic fluids and benign ascitic fluids from non-cancerous patients were used in this study. Ovarian cancer cell proliferation, as well as HPMC proliferation and senescence, were determined using flow cytometry and β-galactosidase assays, respectively. Ovarian cancer cell migration was quantified using a Transwell assay. The concentrations of soluble agents in ascitic fluids, conditioned media and cell lysates were measured using DuoSet® Immunoassay Development kits. RESULTS We found that HPMCs, when exposed to malignant ascitic fluids, exhibited decreased proliferation and increased senescence rates. The malignant ascitic fluids were found to contain elevated levels of HGF, TGF-β1 and GRO-1, of which HGF and GRO-1 were able to induce senescence in HPMCs. We also found that HPMCs subjected to malignant ascitic fluids or exogenously added HGF and GRO-1 stimulated ovarian cancer cell progression, which was manifested by an increased production of HA (adhesion), uPA (proliferation), IL-8 and MCP-1 (migration). CONCLUSION Our results indicate that malignant ascitic fluids may contribute to ovarian cancer progression by accelerating the senescence of HPMCs.

Abstract
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a neoplastic syndrome characterized by peritoneal tumor implants with copious mucinous ascites. The standard of care for PMP patients is aggressive cytoreductive surgery performed in conjunction with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Not all patients are candidates for these procedures and a majority of the patients will have recurrent disease. In addition to secreted mucin, inflammation and fibrosis are central to PMP pathogenesis but the molecular processes that regulate tumor-stromal interactions within the peritoneal tumor microenvironment remain largely unknown. This knowledge is critical not only to elucidate PMP pathobiology but also to identify novel targets for therapy. Here, we report the generation of patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mouse models for PMP and assess the ability of these models to replicate the inflammatory peritoneal microenvironment of human PMP patients. PDX mouse models of low- and high-grade PMP were generated and were of a similar histopathology as human PMP. Cytokines previously shown to be elevated in human PMP were also elevated in PDX ascites. Significant differences in IL-6 and IL-8/KC/MIP2 were seen between human and PDX ascites. Interestingly, these cytokines were mostly secreted by mouse-derived, tumor-associated stromal cells rather than by human-derived PMP tumor cells. Our data suggest that the PMP PDX mouse models are especially suited to the study of tumor-stromal interactions that regulate the peritoneal inflammatory environment in PMP as the tumor and stromal cells in these mouse models are of human and murine origins, respectively. These mouse models are therefore, likely to be useful in vivo surrogates for testing and developing novel therapeutic treatment interventions for PMP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammation plays a central role in peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) etiology and progression, and circulating levels of inflammatory biomarkers prior to surgery predict progression-free and overall survival in PC patients. Depression and fatigue are prevalent among PC patients, and experimental research shows that these symptoms may be mediated by proinflammatory cytokines. As yet unstudied is the possibility that the heightened levels of inflammatory markers in PC patients may contribute to their experience of common neurovegetative symptoms. METHODS Validated self-report measures of fatigue, depressive symptoms, and quality of life were administered to 64 patients scheduled to undergo aggressive surgical treatment for PC. Serum samples were collected the morning of surgery, and ELISAs were conducted to quantify circulating IL-6, CRP, and TNF-α levels. RESULTS Consistent with hypotheses, higher IL-6 levels were associated with more severe fatigue (β=-.39, p<.01) and neurovegetative symptoms of depression (β=.30, p<.05). IL-6 was also related to poorer physical quality of life (β=-.28, p<.05). CRP showed similar significant relationships with fatigue and physical quality of life. Inflammatory biomarkers were not significantly related to emotional symptoms of depression or to emotional or social functioning aspects of quality of life, and TNF-α levels were not related to patient-reported measures. CONCLUSION Preoperative inflammatory activity may contribute to patients' experiences of fatigue and neurovegetative depressive symptoms as well as impaired quality of life. These biological mechanisms warrant consideration in the clinical management of neurovegetative symptoms in PC patients.

Abstract
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP, ORPHA26790) is a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive dissemination of mucinous tumors and mucinous ascites in the abdomen and pelvis. PMP is a rare disease with an estimated incidence of 1-2 out of a million. Clinically, PMP usually presents with a variety of unspecific signs and symptoms, including abdominal pain and distention, ascites or even bowel obstruction. It is also diagnosed incidentally at surgical or non-surgical investigations of the abdominopelvic viscera. PMP is a neoplastic disease originating from a primary mucinous tumor of the appendix with a distinctive pattern of the peritoneal spread. Computed tomography and histopathology are the most reliable diagnostic modalities. The differential diagnosis of the disease includes secondary peritoneal carcinomatoses and some rare peritoneal conditions. Optimal elimination of mucin and the mucin-secreting tumor comprises the current standard of care for PMP offered in specialized centers as visceral resections and peritonectomy combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy. This multidisciplinary approach has reportedly provided a median survival rate of 16.3 years, a median progression-free survival rate of 8.2 years and 10- and 15-year survival rates of 63% and 59%, respectively. Despite its indolent, bland nature as a neoplasm, PMP is a debilitating condition that severely impacts quality of life. It tends to be diagnosed at advanced stages and frequently recurs after treatment. Being ignored in research, however, PMP remains a challenging, enigmatic entity. Clinicopathological features of the PMP syndrome and its morbid complications closely correspond with the multifocal distribution of the secreted mucin collections and mucin-secreting implants. Novel strategies are thus required to facilitate macroscopic, as well as microscopic, elimination of mucin and its source as the key components of the disease. In this regard, MUC2, MUC5AC and MUC5B have been found as the secreted mucins of relevance in PMP. Development of mucin-targeted therapies could be a promising avenue for future research which is addressed in this article.
