Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a commonly used one-step modality for peritoneal surface malignancies. Despite the gain in popularity and effectiveness, HIPEC is still associated with significant post-operative morbidity and mortality. Liver failure, following HIPEC surgery, which does not involve major liver resection has not been well defined or reported. Hence, we report a case of liver failure in a 51-year-old lady, with recurrent carcinoma ovary, who underwent cytoreductive surgery followed by HIPEC and the potential multifactorial causes that could have caused it.

Cytoreductive Surgery and Normothermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Signet Ring Cell Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma With Peritoneal Metastases in the Setting of Cirrhosis. Gastroenterology Res 2018; 11:247-251.

Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are combined to treat peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM). The objective of cytoreduction is to eradicate macroscopic disease, while HIPEC addresses residual microscopic disease. Currently, there are no protocols guiding treatment of cirrhotic patients with PSM. We report the case of a cirrhotic patient with signet ring cell (SRC) appendiceal adenocarcinoma who underwent normothermic, as opposed to hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC). A 50-year-old woman with compensated class A cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis B and C underwent a right hemicolectomy in 2007 and adjuvant chemotherapy in 2008 for appendiceal SRC adenocarcinoma. In 2011, she was found to have peritoneal disease after a laparotomy. She subsequently experienced intolerance to chemotherapy, with stable disease on serial restaging. In light of her cirrhosis, the decision was made to perform CRS and IPC without hyperthermia to treat her residual disease. In 2012, she underwent CRS (omentectomy, total abdominal hysterectomy, left salpingo-oophorectomy) and IPC with mitomycin C. Thirty-day postoperative morbidity included delayed abdominal closure (Clavien-Dindo Grade IIIb), prolonged ventilator support (IIIa), vasopressor requirements (II), and confusion (II). The patient’s liver function remained stable. Eight months later, she had evidence of recurrence on computed tomography. Twenty-two months later, she developed an extrinsic compression secondary to evolving disease, requiring a palliative endoscopic stent. The patient expired from her disease 29 months after her CRS and IPC. The criteria guiding selection of suitable candidates for CRS continues to evolve. Concomitant compensated cirrhosis in patients with PSM should not constitute a reason independently to exclude CRS with intraperitoneal chemotherapy, given the oncologic benefits of the procedure.

Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy improves the survival of gastric cancer patients with ovarian metastasis and peritoneal dissemination. Tumour Biol 2012; 34:463-9.

Abstract
The prognosis for ovarian metastasis of gastric cancer is poor. There is no currently available treatment for this disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in female gastric cancer patients with metachronous ovarian metastasis. From January 2000 to December 2010, 62 patients developed ovarian metastasis after undergoing gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy. Thirty-two patients underwent CRS plus HIPEC, and 30 patients underwent CRS alone. The median age of all 62 patients was 44 years (range 19-71 years). Metastatic carcinoma involving bilateral ovaries was observed in 50 patients (80.6 %). The median survival time in the CRS + HIPEC group was 15.5 months (95 % confidence interval [CI] 12.1-18.9 months) but was only 10.4 months (95 % CI 8.5-12.2 months) in the CRS group (P = 0.018). Among the 32 patients with pelvic peritoneal metastasis, a stratified analysis revealed that the median survival period for the 15 patients treated with CRS + HIPEC was significantly higher than that for the patients treated with CRS alone (P = 0.046). Among the 30 patients who suffered from ovarian metastasis alone, the median survival times were similar in both groups (P = 0.141). A multivariate analysis revealed that CRS + HIPEC and a low Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) were independent predictors for improved survival. In conclusion, our study indicates that employing the HIPEC procedure after CRS could improve the survival time of patients with ovarian metastasis with few complications; however, we do not recommend HIPEC treatment for ovarian metastasis alone.

Human amniotic fluid-derived stem cells can differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells in vitro and in vivo. In Vitro Cell Dev Biol Anim 2011; 47:601-8. [PMID: 21938589 DOI: 10.1007/s11626-011-9450-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2011] [Accepted: 08/19/2011] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
Although human amniotic fluid is an attractive source of multipotent stem cells, the potential of amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) to differentiate into hepatic cells has not been extensively evaluated. In this study, we examined whether human AFSCs can differentiate into a hepatic cell lineage in vitro and in vivo. After being treated with cytokines (fibroblast growth factor 4, basic fibroblast growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, and oncostatin), AFSCs developed a morphology similar to that of hepatocytes. RT-PCR and immunofluorescence analysis showed that the treated AFSCs expressed the hepatocyte-specific markers albumin, cytokeratin 18, and alpha-fetoprotein. The differentiated cells also developed hepatocyte-specific functions, i.e., they secreted albumin, absorbed indocyanine green, and stored glycogen. When transplanted into CCl(4)-injured immunodeficient mice, undifferentiated AFSCs were integrated into the liver tissue, and they expressed markers characteristic of mature human hepatocytes. Although integration of AFSCs into the liver was limited (0.1-0.3% of hepatocytes), histological analysis showed that the recipient mice recovered more rapidly from CCl(4) injury than CCl(4)-injured mice that did not receive AFSCs. AFSCs can differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells in vitro and in vivo and can represent an easily accessible source of progenitor cells for hepatocyte regeneration and liver cell transplantation.
