RESUMO
BACKGROUND: CRS-HIPEC provides oncologic benefit in well-selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis; however, it is a morbid procedure. Decision tools for preoperative patient selection are limited. We developed a risk score to predict severity of 90 day complications for cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Adults who underwent CRS-HIPEC at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (March 2001-April 2020) were analyzed as part of this study. Primary endpoint was severe complications within 90 days following CRS-HIPEC, defined using Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI) scores as a dichotomous (determined using restricted cubic splines) and continuous variable. Data were divided into training and test sets. Several machine learning and traditional algorithms were considered. RESULTS: For the 1959 CRS-HIPEC procedures included, CCI ranged from 0 to 100 (median 32.0). Adjusted restricted cubic splines model defined severe complications as CCI > 61. A minimum of 20 variables achieved optimal performance of any of the models. Linear regression achieved the highest area under the receiving operator characteristic curve (AUC, 0.74) and outperformed the NSQIP Surgical Risk calculator (AUC 0.80 vs. 0.66). Factors most positively associated with severe complications included peritoneal carcinomatosis index score, symptomatic status, and undergoing pancreatectomy, while American Society of Anesthesiologists 2 class, appendiceal diagnosis, and preoperative albumin were most negatively associated with severe complications. CONCLUSIONS: This study refines our ability to predict severe complications within 90 days of discharge from a hospitalization in which CRS-HIPEC was performed. This advancement is timely and relevant given the growing interest in this procedure and may have implications for patient selection, patient and referring provider comfort, and survival.

RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: We hypothesized that repeat cytoreductive surgery-hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (CRS-HIPEC) for peritoneal metastases (PM) may be associated with suboptimal resection, more frequent postoperative complications, and worse oncologic outcomes. METHODS: Using a prospectively maintained database, we compared clinicopathologic, perioperative, and oncologic outcome data in patients undergoing single or repeat CRS-HIPEC procedures. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival. Multivariate analyses identified associations with perioperative and oncologic outcomes. RESULTS: Of the 1294 patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC procedures at our institution, only one CRS-HIPEC procedure (single HIPEC cohort) was performed in 1169 patients (90.3%), whereas 125 patients (9.7%) underwent repeat CRS-HIPEC procedures (repeat HIPEC cohort). Of the 1440 CRS-HIPEC procedures at our institution, a first CRS-HIPEC procedure was performed in 1294 patients (89.9%), whereas subsequent second, third, and fourth CRS-HIPEC procedures were performed in 125 patients (8.7%), 18 patients (1.3%), and 3 patients (0.2%), respectively. Progression-free survival (PFS) following the second CRS-HIPEC procedure was negatively impacted by shorter PFS following the first CRS-HIPEC procedure, independent of other significant variables related to the second procedure, including completeness of cytoreduction and postoperative complications. Patients undergoing multiple CRS-HIPEC procedures were not at higher risk for suboptimal resection or postoperative complications and demonstrated equivalent PFS following each successive procedure compared to the first procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Repeat CRS-HIPEC procedures for PM were not associated with suboptimal perioperative and oncologic outcomes. Our data confirmed our ability to select patients appropriately for repeat CRS-HIPEC procedures.

BACKGROUND: Diagnostic terminology and grading of primary appendiceal mucinous neoplasms lacks uniformity. We sought to identify discordance in pathologic reporting by reviewing pathology slides for cases referred to our institution. METHODS: Using guidelines from Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) and American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th edition (AJCC8), we compared diagnostic terminology/grading of primary appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (n = 115) between pathology reports from referring institutions and review of slides by pathologists at our high-volume institution. RESULTS: There was discordance in pathologic terminology and grading of primary appendiceal mucinous neoplasms between referring institutions and our institution in 28% and 50% of patients, respectively. In particular, 24% of patients referred with mucinous adenocarcinoma (MACA) had LAMN on our review, and a higher grade MACA was found in 48% of patients referred with low-grade (G1) MACA and 16% of patients referred with high-grade (G2) MACA following our review. Discordance in tumor grade between primary and metastatic disease was seen in 19% of cases based on referred primary tumor grading compared with only 4% following our review. Systemic chemotherapy was unnecessarily administered to four cases of LAMN (6%) and inappropriately not administered to four cases of MACA (6%) before referral due to inaccurate diagnosis/grading by referring institutions. CONCLUSIONS: We found significant discordance in diagnostic terminology/grading of primary appendiceal mucinous neoplasms following review of referred cases. Inaccurate pathologic assessment was associated with overtreatment or undertreatment with chemotherapy. These data highlight the need for pathologic review of such rare cases at high-volume centers.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with pleuropulmonary disease recurrence following cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (CRS/HIPEC) for appendiceal pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) and to evaluate the oncologic impact of pleuropulmonary disease recurrence compared with isolated peritoneal recurrence. METHODS: From a prospective database, we identified patients who developed pleuropulmonary recurrence, isolated peritoneal recurrence, or no recurrence following CRS/HIPEC for appendiceal PMP. Clinicopathologic, perioperative, and oncologic data associated with the index CRS/HIPEC procedure were reviewed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival. Multivariate analyses identified associations with recurrence and survival. RESULTS: Of 382 patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC, 61 (16%) developed pleuropulmonary recurrence. Patients who developed a pleuropulmonary recurrence were more likely to have high-grade (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] grade 2/3) tumors (74% vs. 56%, p = 0.02) and increased operative blood loss (1651 vs. 1201 ml, p = 0.05) and were more likely to have undergone diaphragm stripping/resection (79% vs. 48%, p < 0.01) compared with patients with an abdominal recurrence. In a multivariate analysis, pleuropulmonary recurrence after CRS/HIPEC was associated with diaphragm stripping/resection, incomplete cytoreduction, and higher AJCC tumor grade. There was a trend towards reduced survival in patients with pleuropulmonary recurrence compared with patients with isolated peritoneal recurrence (median overall survival 45 vs. 53 months, p = 0.87). CONCLUSION: Pleuropulmonary recurrence of appendiceal PMP following CRS/HIPEC is common and may negatively impact survival. Formal protocols for surveillance and therapeutic intervention need to be studied and implemented to improve oncologic outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The authors hypothesized that postoperative complications after cytoreductive surgery-hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (CRS-HIPEC) have a negative impact on perioperative and oncologic outcomes and that the novel Comprehensive Comorbidity Index (CCI) would be a better predictor of such outcomes than the traditional Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC). METHODS: The study used a prospective database of 1296 patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) undergoing CRS-HIPEC between 2001 and 2016. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival. Multivariate analyses identified associations with perioperative and oncologic outcomes. The Akaike information criterion and the Schwarz (Bayesian information) criterion were used to compare model fitting for CCI versus CDC. RESULTS: In this study, CRS-HIPEC was performed for malignant mesothelioma (12%) and PM from appendix (50%), colorectal (30%), and ovarian (8%) cancers. Major postoperative in-hospital complications (CDC grades 3-4) occurred for 24% of the patients. However, a range of CCI scores was calculated for each CDC grade because 36% of the patients experienced multiple complications. After a median follow-up period of 55 months, the median progression-free survival was 15 months, and the median overall survival was 39 months. In the multivariate Cox proportional hazards models, postoperative in-hospital complications (measured by CDC or CCI) were independent prognostic factors for 30-day post-discharge morbidity and readmission, as well as for survival. The CCI scores demonstrated higher prognostic sensitivity for these outcomes than CDC grades. CONCLUSIONS: Reduction of postoperative complications after CRS-HIPEC is essential for optimal short- and long-term outcomes. For assessing total burden of postoperative complications per patient, CCI is superior to CDC and more sensitive for assessing surgery- and cancer-related outcomes after CRS-HIPEC.

BACKGROUND: In the era of modern effective systemic chemotherapy, the comparative effectiveness of hepatic artery infusion (HAI) versus selective internal radiation therapy (yttrium-90 [Y90]) for pretreated patients with isolated unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (IU-CRCLM) remains unknown. This study sought to compare the overall survival (OS) after HAI versus Y90 for IU-CRCLM patients treated with modern chemotherapy and to perform a cost analysis of both regional methods. METHODS: This study retrospectively reviewed patients receiving HAI or Y90 in combination with modern chemotherapy as second-line therapy for IU-CRCLM. Overall survival was calculated from the time of IU-CRCLM diagnosis. Uni- and multivariate models were constructed to identify independent predictors of survival. RESULTS: The inclusion criteria were met by 97 patients (48 HAI patients and 49 Y90 patients). Both groups were similar in terms of age, gender, body mass index (BMI), synchronous disease, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), liver tumor burden, and chemotherapy-related characteristics including use of biologics and lines of chemotherapy (all p > 0.05). The HAI group had a better OS than the Y90 group (31.2 vs. 16.3 months; p < 0.001). A trend toward reduced cost favored the HAI group (median, $29,479 vs. $39,092; p = 0.296). The multivariate analysis showed that receipt of HAI (hazard ratio 0.465) and number of chemotherapy lines (HR 0.797) were associated with improved OS from the date of IU-CRCLM diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of HAI versus Y90 in the era of modern chemotherapy, and the findings suggests that HAI is associated with better survival than Y90 for patients with pretreated IU-CRCLM.

BACKGROUND: The Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) recommends pathologic reporting of tumor cellularity in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (CRS-HIPEC). We investigated the prognostic significance of PMP cellularity, or lack thereof (acellular mucin), following CRS-HIPEC. METHODS: We reviewed clinical data for 310 CRS-HIPEC procedures in low-grade (American Joint Committee on Cancer grade G1) PMP with acellular mucin (n = 19), scant cellularity (n = 30), or moderate cellularity (n = 242). Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariate Cox regression models identified prognostic factors affecting oncologic outcomes. RESULTS: Compared with patients with acellular mucin, those with scant and moderate cellularity had higher PCI and less-frequent complete macroscopic resection. After an estimated median follow-up of 49 months, 4 patients (14%) with scant cellularity and 127 patients (56%) with moderate cellularity progressed, while none of the patients with acellular mucin progressed. While the median progression-free survival (PFS) was not reached for patients with acellular mucin or scant cellularity (estimated 5-year PFS probability of 100 and 83%, respectively), patients with moderate cellularity demonstrated a median PFS of 32 months (estimated 5-year PFS probability of 27%). In a multivariate model, degree of disease cellularity, or lack thereof (acellular mucin), was an independent predictor of PFS but not overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Early disease progression is unlikely in patients with acellular mucin undergoing CRS-HIPEC, as opposed to a 14% recurrence rate with scant cellularity. Thorough pathologic assessment for cellularity, or lack thereof (acellular mucin), is vital for accurate prognostication of disease progression for patients with low-grade PMP undergoing CRS-HIPEC.

Background: Postoperative ambulation is encouraged to promote timely recovery but is rarely monitored objectively or examined as a predictor of clinical outcomes, despite growing availability of wearable devices that allow passive quantification and remote real-time monitoring of the number of steps taken during recovery. Purpose: To determine whether the number of steps taken during inpatient recovery predicts 30- and 60-day readmission risk after metastatic cancer surgery. Methods: Patients diagnosed with metastatic peritoneal cancer and scheduled for surgical resection were enrolled in this observational cohort study at their preoperative clinic visit. Fitbits were placed on patients' wrists upon transfer from the ICU following surgery and worn for the duration of their inpatient stay. Information about hospital readmission was extracted from electronic medical records. Results: Seventy-one patients participated in the study (mean age = 57.14, range = 31-80 years; 42% female; 51% diagnosed with appendiceal cancer). Mean steps per day were calculated for each participant over the entire inpatient recovery period (mean stay = 12.12 days, 4-37 days). Readmission within 30 and 60 days was medically indicated for 34% and 39% of patients, respectively. After statistically adjusting for age, body mass index, comorbidity, and length of postoperative stay, higher mean steps per day predicted lower 30-day and 60-day readmission risk. Conclusions: Higher Fitbit step counts during inpatient recovery predicted lower risk of 30- and 60-day readmission after surgery for metastatic peritoneal cancer. Results suggest that passively monitoring perioperative ambulation may identify patients at risk for readmission and highlight opportunities for behavioral intervention.

BACKGROUND: In the era of effective modern systemic chemotherapy (CT), the role of hepatic arterial infusion of fluoxuridine (HAI-FUDR) in the treatment of isolated unresectable colorectal liver metastasis (IU-CRCLM) remains controversial. This study aimed to compare the overall survival (OS) of HAI-FUDR in combination with modern systemic CT versus modern systemic CT alone in patients with IU-CRCLM. METHODS: This was a case-control study of IU-CRCLM patients who underwent HAI + modern systemic CT or modern systemic CT alone. Modern systemic CT was defined as the use of multidrug regimens containing oxaliplatin and/or irinotecan ± biologics. RESULTS: Overall, 86 patients met the inclusion criteria (n = 40 for the HAI + CT group, and n = 46 for the CT-alone group). Both groups were similar in demographics, primary and stage IV tumor characteristics, and treatment-related variables (carcinoembryonic antigen, use of biologic agents, total number of lines of systemic CT administered) (all p > 0.05). Additionally, both groups were comparable with respect to liver tumor burden [median number of lesions (13.5 vs. 15), percentage of liver tumor replacement (37.5 vs. 40 %), and size of largest lesion] (all p > 0.05). Median OS in the HAI + CT group was 32.8 months compared with 15.3 months in the CT-alone group (p < 0.0001). Multivariate analysis revealed HAI + CT (hazard ratio 0.4, 95 % confidence interval 0.21-0.72; p = 0.003), Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group status, and receipt of increasing number of lines of systemic CT to be independent predictors of survival. CONCLUSIONS: In this case-control study of patients with IU-CRCLM, HAI in combination with CT was associated with improved OS when compared with modern systemic CT alone.

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (CRS-HIPEC) is a complex procedure that often requires ostomy creation to protect high-risk anastomoses. This study aimed to evaluate the authors' institutional experience with CRS-HIPEC-associated ostomies, determine predictors of ostomy creation and reversal, and assess their impact on survival. METHODS: The study analyzed clinicopathologic, perioperative, and oncologic data from a prospective database of 1435 CRS-HIPEC procedures for peritoneal metastases. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival. Multivariate analyses identified associations with ostomy creation/reversal and survival. RESULTS: Ostomies were created in 34% of the patients, most commonly loop ileostomies (82%). Loop ileostomies were reversed in the majority of patients (83%), whereas non-loop ileostomies were infrequently reversed (< 10% reversal rate). In a multivariate logistic regression model, intermediate or high tumor grade, colectomy/proctectomy, longer operative time, and lower Charlson comorbidity index were associated with loop ileostomy creation, whereas incomplete macroscopic resection, colorectal histology, and major postoperative complications were associated with non-reversal of loop ileostomy. In a multivariate Cox proportional hazards model, intermediate or high tumor grade and non-reversal of loop ileostomy were associated with worse overall survival. CONCLUSIONS: Loop ileostomies were almost always reversed, whereas non-loop ileostomies were almost always permanent. Hospital readmissions for loop ileostomy-related complications were common. Therefore, formal outpatient protocols for prevention and management should be implemented. Non-reversal of loop ileostomy was associated with very poor survival.

BACKGROUND: Several studies suggest that young patients may derive less oncologic benefit from surgical resection of cancers compared with older patients. We hypothesized that young patients may have worse outcomes following cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (CRS/HIPEC) for peritoneal metastases. METHODS: Perioperative and oncologic outcomes in adolescent and young adults (AYA), defined as younger than age 40 years (n = 135), undergoing CRS/HIPEC between 2001 and 2015 were reviewed and compared with middle-aged adults, defined as aged 40-65 years (n = 684). RESULTS: The two groups were similar with regards to perioperative characteristics except that AYA were more likely to be symptomatic at presentation (65.2 vs. 50.9%, p = 0.003), had lower Charleson comorbidity index (median 6 vs. 8, p < 0.001), were less likely to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (32.8 vs. 42.5%, p = 0.042), and had longer operative times (median 543 vs. 493 min, p = 0.010). Postoperative Clavien-Dindo grade 3-4 morbidity was lower in AYA (17 vs. 26%, p = 0.029), and they required fewer reoperations for complications (3.7 vs. 10.4%, p = 0.014). AYA had longer median overall survival (103.6 vs. 73.2 months, p = 0.053). In a multivariate Cox regression analysis, age was an independent predictor of improved overall survival [hazard ratio 0.705; 0.516-0.963, p = 0.028]. CONCLUSIONS: Young patients with peritoneal metastases derive similar benefits from CRS/HIPEC as middle-aged patients. Young age should not be a deterrent to consideration of CRS/HIPEC for peritoneal metastases.

We have conducted a phase 1 study of intravenous vvDD, a Western Reserve strain oncolytic vaccinia virus, on 11 patients with standard treatment-refractory advanced colorectal or other solid cancers. The primary endpoints were maximum tolerated dose and associated toxicity while secondary endpoints were pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immune responses, and antitumor activity. No dose-limiting toxicities and treatment related severe adverse events were observed. The most common adverse events were grades 1/2 flu-like symptoms. Virus genomes were detectable in the blood 15-30 minutes after virus administration in a dose-dependent manner. There was evidence of a prolonged virus replication in tumor tissues in two patients, but no evidence of virus replication in non-tumor tissues, except a healed injury site and an oral thrush. Over 100-fold of anti-viral antibodies were induced in patients' sera. A strong induction of inflammatory and Th1, but not Th2 cytokines, suggested a potent Th1-mediated immunity against the virus and possibly the cancer. One patient showed a mixed response on PET-CT with resolution of some liver metastases, and another patient with cutaneous melanoma demonstrated clinical regression of some lesions. Given the confirmed safety, further trials evaluating intravenous vvDD in combination with therapeutic transgenes, immune checkpoint blockade or complement inhibitors, are warranted.

INTRODUCTION: Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of appendiceal origin demonstrate variable oncologic outcomes, despite aggressive cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC). We sought to devise a prognostic risk stratification system for oncologic outcomes following CRS-HIPEC. METHODS: A total of 197 patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC for the treatment of appendiceal PC were reviewed from a prospective database. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariate Cox regression models were used to identify prognostic factors affecting oncologic outcomes. Clinicopathologic variables affecting overall survival (OS) were utilized to develop a prognostic staging system and nomograms. RESULTS: Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that high-grade tumor histology, lymph node metastasis, and incomplete cytoreduction were high-risk features, adversely affecting OS. Patients were stratified on the presence of high-risk features as follows: low-risk patients had no risk factors (n = 102); intermediate-risk patients had one risk factor (n = 49); and high-risk patients had more than one risk factor (n = 46). Median OS for low-risk patients was not reached, and was 43 and 22 months for intermediate-risk and high-risk patients, respectively. Five-year OS was 72, 43, and 13 % for low-, intermediate- and high-risk patients, respectively (p < 0.0003 for low vs. intermediate risk, and p = 0.06 for intermediate vs. high risk). CONCLUSIONS: We propose a three-tier staging system for appendiceal PC following CRS-HIPEC, based on histologic grade, lymph node involvement, and completeness of cytoreduction. The presence of any one or more of these high-risk features significantly decreased survival in our single-institution database and provided the basis for a prognostic staging system and corresponding nomograms.

BACKGROUND: Hepatic artery infusion (HAI) chemotherapy can be combined with systemic chemotherapy for the treatment of isolated unresectable colorectal liver metastases (IU-CRLM) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (U-ICC). However, HAI pump placement requires a major laparotomy that may be associated with morbidity. We hypothesized that the computer-assisted robotic platform would be well suited for this procedure and report the first single institutional case series of robotic assisted HAI pump placement for primary and secondary malignancies of the liver. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients who underwent robotic assisted HAI pump placement from January 2008 to January 2016. Peri-operative outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 24 consecutive patients underwent robotic assisted HAI pump placement. Median age was 61 years and 50% were females. Main indications were colorectal cancer = 17 (71%) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma = 4 (17%). The majority (87.5%) of patients had bilobar disease with a median of 6 liver lesions. Concurrent procedures including ablation +/- resection and colectomies were performed in 58% of the patients. Median operative time was 282 min, with median blood loss of 100 ml and length of stay 6 days. Conversion to open was required in one (4%) case. Grade 3 or higher complications were seen in 13% of cases and pump related complications were seen in 21% of patients. All except one HAI pumps could be used for pump chemotherapy. CUSUM analysis of operative time indicated a learning curve of eight cases. CONCLUSION: Robotic assisted placement of HAI pump placement is safe, feasible, and obviates the need for major laparotomy.

Oncolytic viral therapy utilizes a tumor-selective replicating virus which preferentially infects and destroys cancer cells and triggers antitumor immunity. The Western Reserve strain of vaccinia virus (VV) is the most virulent strain of VV in animal models and has been engineered for tumor selectivity through two targeted gene deletions (vvDD). We performed the first-in-human phase 1, intratumoral dose escalation clinical trial of vvDD in 16 patients with advanced solid tumors. In addition to safety, we evaluated signs of vvDD replication and spread to distant tumors, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, clinical and immune responses to vvDD. Dose escalation proceeded without dose-limiting toxicities to a maximum feasible dose of 3 × 10(9) pfu. vvDD replication in tumors was reproducible. vvDD genomes and/or infectious particles were recovered from injected (n = 5 patients) and noninjected (n = 2 patients) tumors. At the two highest doses, vvDD genomes were detected acutely in blood in all patients while delayed re-emergence of vvDD genomes in blood was detected in two patients. Fifteen of 16 patients exhibited late symptoms, consistent with ongoing vvDD replication. In summary, intratumoral injection of the oncolytic vaccinia vvDD was well-tolerated in patients and resulted in selective infection of injected and noninjected tumors and antitumor activity.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes of isolated hepatic perfusion (IHP) on isolated liver metastases (LMs). BACKGROUND: Isolated unresectable LMs are often the main determinant of overall survival (OS) for colorectal cancer (CRC) and other solid malignancies. We hypothesized that IHP can be performed safely and yield impressive responses for a variety of solid tumor pathology, using different perfusion agents. METHODS: Retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of patients undergoing IHP for unresectable solid tumor LM. RESULTS: Between 2003 and 2012, IHP was completed in 91 patients. Primary tumor pathology was CRC = 54, non-CRC = 37 (ocular/cutaneous melanoma = 32, cholangiocarcinoma = 3, appendiceal = 1, and breast = 1). IHP employed Melphalan (n = 69) (CRC = 32, non-CRC = 37), Oxaliplatin (n = 10) (CRC), or Oxaliplatin + 5FU (n = 12) (CRC). Hepatic arterial infusion (HAI) pumps were placed in all CRC patients. There were 3(3.3%) perioperative deaths. Response rates for CRC, melanoma, and cholangiocarcinoma were 68.2%, 57.1%, and 100% respectively. Response rates for CRC patients using 5FU + Oxaliplatin, Oxaliplatin, or Melphalan were 83.3%, 66.7%, and 60.9%, respectively. Median OS for the CRC patients (from IHP date) was 23 months (95% confidence interval: 15-28 months). On univariate analysis, receipt of HAI-FUDR (floxuridine) within 1 year of IHP was the only factor associated with improved OS (P = 0.043) in CRC patients. CONCLUSIONS: IHP results in excellent response rates for patients with unresectable liver metastasis from solid tumors. Improved local control for CRC patients undergoing IHP-HAI may improve survival.

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 (ß=-.39, p<.01) and neurovegetative symptoms of depression (ß=.30, p<.05). IL-6 was also related to poorer physical quality of life (ß=-.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.

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) are frequently used to treat appendiceal carcinomatosis. Some patients require multivisceral resection because of the volume of disease. It is unclear whether extent of CRS impacts survival in appendiceal carcinomatosis. METHODS: We analyzed 282 patients undergoing attempted CRS/HIPEC for appendiceal carcinomatosis. Patients were defined as having undergone Extensive CRS (n = 60) if they had >3 organ resections or >2 anastomoses; a subgroup of Extreme CRS patients (n = 10) had ≥5 organ resections and ≥3 anastomoses. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and multivariate Cox-regression models were used to identify prognostic factors affecting outcomes. RESULTS: Relative to the comparison group, patients undergoing Extensive CRS had a higher median peritoneal carcinomatosis index, operative duration, blood loss, and length of stay. No difference in completeness of cytoreduction, severe morbidity, or 60-day mortality was evident. Subgroup analysis of 10 patients undergoing extreme CRS likewise revealed no increase in severe morbidity or mortality. Median progression-free (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 23.5 and 74 months in the comparison group; 18.5 (p = 0.086) and 51 (p = 0.85) months in the Extensive CRS group; and 40 months and not reached in the Extreme CRS subgroup. In a multivariable analysis, extent of CRS was not independently associated with PFS or OS. CONCLUSIONS: Extensive CRS is associated with greater OR time, blood loss, and length of stay, but is not associated with higher morbidity, mortality, or inferior oncologic outcomes in patients with appendiceal carcinomatosis.
