ABSTRACT
Aim. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a common evolution of neoplasms and the terminal stage of disease. A new therapeutic technique, based on the total surgical removal of peritoneal lesions (peritonectomy procedure - PP) combined with the intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia (IPCH), has been developed. Proper patient selection is mandatory for optimizing the results of treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of [(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in patients with peritoneal carcinosis selected to undergo PP and IPCH. Furthermore, we aimed to identify characteristic patterns of abdominal18F-FDG uptake and to correlate these patterns with available anatomic findings after surgery. Methods. Patients with either histologically confirmed peritoneal carcinosis or suspected upon clinical follow-up and/or imaging findings were prospectively submitted to pre-surgery 18F-FDG PET/CT scan. Only those patients without evidence of extra-peritoneal metastases at PET/CT scan were treated with PP and IPCH. Results. 11 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (5 colorectal, 4 ovarian, 1 pancreatic) and 1 unknown primitive cancer, were eligible for the study. In all cases PET/CT scan showed multiple peritoneal implants. In 6 out of 11 cases (54%) metastases were evidenced by 18F-FDG PET/CT 2 cases with liver metastases; 1 case with bone metastases; 3 patients with lymph-node lesions. Two distinct imaging patterns, with focal or diffuse increased 18F-FDG uptake, were recognized. Conclusions. PP + IPCH of patients selected by 18F-FDG PET/CT seems to be safe and feasible. PET/CT scan appears as a reliable tool for the detection, characterization of peritoneal implants with potential impact in the therapeutic management of these patients (AU)
RESUMEN
Objetivo. La carcinomatosis peritoneal es una evolución común de las neoplasias y constituye el estadio terminal de la enfermedad. Se ha desarrollado una nueva técnica, basada en la extirpación quirúrgica de las lesiones peritoneales (procedimiento de peritonectomía - PP), combinada con quimiohipertermia intraperitoneal (IPCH). La adecuada selección de los pacientes es primordial, a fin de optimizar los resultados del tratamiento. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar el papel de la tomografía de emisión de positrones con [(18)F]fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucosa/tomografía computarizada (18F-FDG PET/TC) en pacientes con carcinomatosis peritoneal, seleccionados para someterse a PP e IPCH. Además, tratamos de identificar los patrones característicos de la captación abdominal de 18F-FDG y correlacionar dichos patrones con los hallazgos anatómicos disponibles tras la cirugía. Métodos. Se realizaron exámenes 18F-FDG PET/TC de manera prospectiva, y previamente a la cirugía, a los pacientes con carcinomatosis peritoneal histológicamente confirmada, o sospechada mediante seguimiento clínico y/o hallazgos de imagen. Solo puede tratarse con PP y IPCH a aquellos pacientes que no reflejen evidencia de metástasis extraperitoneales en los exámenes PET/TC. Resultados. Se seleccionó para el estudio a 11 pacientes con carcinomatosis peritoneal (5 colorrectales, 4 ováricas, una pancreática) y un cáncer primitivo desconocido. En todos los casos, el examen PET/TC reflejó múltiples implantes peritoneales. En 6 de los 11 casos (54%) las metástasis fueron evidenciadas mediante 18F-FDG PET/TC 2 casos con metástasis hepáticas, un caso con metástasis óseas, y 3 pacientes con lesiones ganglionares. Se reconocieron 2 patrones de imagen distintos, con aumento de captación focal o difusa de 18F-FDG. Conclusiones. La combinación PP + IPCH de los pacientes seleccionados mediante 18F-FDG PET/TC parece ser una técnica segura y factible. La PET/TC se revela como una herramienta fiable para la detección y caracterización de los implantes peritoneales, con un impacto potencial sobre el tratamiento terapéutico de dichos pacientes (AU)
