RESUMO
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC) is a treatment option for peritoneal surface malignancy. Despite the survival benefits, this treatment was previously associated with a high morbidity and mortality rates, and the perception of the poor perioperative outcomes associated with this regimen remains. Careful patient selection with an optimal level of postoperative care must be advocated to avoid undesirable complications of this treatment.However, for this treatment to be accepted as standard of care, teams undertaking this treatment strategy must aim to minimize morbidity and mortality by learning from the experience of established centers and using the "global learning curve". The HIPEC Registry and accreditation of centers will improve the quality of the treatment.

BACKGROUND: Recent therapeutic developments demand for an update of information on natural history, risk factors and prognosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal origin. Therefore, prospective registry data should provide information about incidence, predictors and outcome. METHODS: From a prospectively expanded single-institutional database with 2406 consecutive patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), clinical, histological and survival data were analysed for independent risk factors and prognosis. Findings were then stratified to the era of treatment without chemotherapy, 5-Fluorouracil-only and contemporary systemic chemotherapy, respectively. RESULTS: Overall, 256 (10.6%) patients were diagnosed with PC thereof 141 (5.85%) with metachronous PC. Independent risk factors for the development of metachronous PC were age <62 years, N2-status, T4-status, location of the primary in the left colon or appendix. In the era of contemporary systemic chemotherapy, prognosis for PC improved only not-significantly (median survival of 17.9 months vs 7.03 months, P=0.054). CONCLUSION: Despite improvement in the overall outcome with prolonged median survival for the complete patient cohort with CRC, those patients with PC have not experienced the same benefit. In the era of contemporary systemic chemotherapy, progress in treatment resulted in only limited survival benefit. Thus, continuous efforts for further therapeutic advancements should be undertaken in these patients diagnosed with PC.

BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal carcinomas in childhood are rare and frequently present at an advanced stage. Besides lymphatic and distant organ metastasis, peritoneal carcinomatosis may be detected and has a poor prognosis. In addition to surgery and intravenous chemotherapy, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) may be an option for selected patients. Our aim was to demonstrate the feasibility of the method and to discuss possible indications. METHODS: After treating a series of adult patients, HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis from a signet cell carcinoma of the colon was performed intraoperatively in a 12-year-old boy. We gave mitomycin C at a dose of 30 mg/m2 over 90 minutes at maximum temperature of 41.2 degrees C. We performed intraoperative drug level monitoring and daily postoperative liver and kidney function tests and differential blood counts. RESULTS: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion was performed according to protocol without complications. Perfusate and venous drug levels were similar to those in an adult case. The patient had an uneventful recovery, and serum chemistry and blood count returned to normal after a week. The boy lived for 36 months after initial presentation. Sixteen months after HIPEC, still with excellent quality of life, an elevated carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) indicated recurrence. Thirty months after HIPEC, he died of progressive recurrent disease. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion as performed in adults may be beneficial to children with peritoneal carcinomatosis and merits further study.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: There is controversy about the effect of the influence of hyperthermia and chemotherapeutic agents on the healing of intestinal anastomosis. The effects of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) of wound healing after colonic anastomosis were investigated in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six Wag/Rija rats were randomized into three groups of 12 animals each: group I: control (only colonic anastomosis was performed) (n = 12); group II: HIPEC (mitomycin C in a concentration of 20 mg/m(2) (n = 12) colonic anastomosis was performed before HIPEC; group III: HIPEC (mitomycin C in a concentration of 20 mg/m(2) (n = 12) colonic anastomosis was performed after HIPEC. Bursting pressure and bursting sites were recorded 4 and 10 days after intervention. Collagen deposits, inflammation and foreign body reactions were evaluated. RESULTS: Lower bursting pressure and lost of collagen were found in both HIPEC groups and compared with the control group. There was almost no difference between both HIPEC groups. They were noted overwhelmingly at the anastomosis in the HIPEC group. The degree of collagen accumulation was well-correlated with bursting pressure. CONCLUSION: These results have shown that hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) impairs wound healing in colonic anastomosis in rats.

AIMS: Previous safety monitoring of hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Mitomycin C (MMC) did not demonstrate any detectable safety hazard to the personnel. Nevertheless, those results have been discussed controversially because of the methodological problems employed in the evaluation of potential exposure. We re-evaluated possible safety hazards of HIPEC by applying different monitoring strategies. METHODS: We monitored air samples in the operation room during HIPEC. In addition, we measured MMC in plasma of the surgeon with a newly developed analytical method. All samples were analysed by HPLC-UV at 360nm. The permeability of the gloves was tested using two in vitro techniques: diffusion cells and a glass cell chamber. In-use and worst-case exposure scenarios were imitated for in vitro experiments. RESULTS: The analysis of the air samples (n=3) could not detect any MMC. We found no drug above the limit of detection (1microg MMC/L) in the plasma samples of the surgeons (n=5). A breakthrough of latex glove material was detected in only one (worst-case exposure scenario) of 40 diffusion cell experiments. CONCLUSIONS: Established methods of safety monitoring could not reveal any detectable risk on in-use exposure conditions. The wearing of doubled latex gloves should prevent the surgeon from dermal exposure to MMC during HIPEC.
