RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) may be missed by preoperative imaging. We are presenting our experience with incidentally detected PC of colorectal origin treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) at the same operation. METHODS: Between January 2010 and September 2016, 19 patients underwent CRS and IPC due to incidentally detected PC of colorectal origin. Data were analyzed from a prospectively collected database. RESULTS: The median age was 59 (29-78). In three patients, PC was diagnosed during emergency surgery. The primary tumor was located in the rectum (three patients; one with recurrent disease), left colon (9 patients), and right colon (7 patients). All patients underwent CRS and IPC, and one patient operated laparoscopically. Median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 5 (range, 3-14), and complete cytoreduction (CC-0) was achieved in 14 patients. After CRS, 8 patients received early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC), 7 patients received hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and 4 patients received both HIPEC and EPIC. The median hospital stay was 9 (6-29) days. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients. There was no postoperative mortality. Median follow-up was 40.2 (12-94) months. Five-year overall survival was 63.2%. Estimated mean survival time is longer in patients who underwent complete cytoreduction compared to patients having CC-1 or CC-2 cytoreduction (87.7 vs. 20.3 months; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: Cytoreductive surgery and IPC can be performed safely in patients with intraoperatively detected incidental PC of colorectal origin.

INTRODUCTION: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the perioperative complications, toxicity, mortality rates after cytoreductive surgery (CRS), and effects of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) used in the treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies. METHODS: Between September 2007 and March 2012, we performed 118 CRS and HIPEC with the closed abdominal technique on 115 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Systemic toxicities were graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 criteria and were analyzed from a prospectively collected database. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 53.4 (range, 20-82) years; 76.3 % were female. PC was synchronous to primary cancer in 53.4 % of patients, metachronous in 41.5 %, and recurrent in 5.1 % of the patients. PCI was ≥15 in 53.4 % of the patients, and CC-0 cytoreduction was achieved in 68.5 % of the patients. Perioperative mortality was observed in 9 (7.6 %) patients. A total of 98 complications were observed in 46 (39.0 %) patients, and 4 patients underwent 6 reoperations for perioperative surgical complications. We observed toxicity in 25.4 % of the patients, nephrotoxicity in 18.6 %, and hematological toxicity in 13.6 % of patients. No significant difference was observed among age, gender, PCI and CC scores, origin of the primary tumor, and occurrence of toxicity and surgical complications. Prolonged operation times resulted in higher complication and/or toxicity rates (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC is a combined treatment strategy for peritoneal surface malignancies with acceptable complication and toxicity rates.
