RESUMO
The peritoneum is a common site for the dissemination of digestive malignancies, particularly gastric, colorectal, appendix, or pancreatic cancer. Other tumors such as cholangiocarcinomas, digestive neuroendocrine tumors, or gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) may also associate with peritoneal surface metastases (PSM). Peritoneal dissemination is proven to worsen the prognosis of these patients. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS), along with systemic chemotherapy, have been shown to constitute a survival benefit in selected patients with PSM. Furthermore, the association of CRS with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) seems to significantly improve the prognosis of patients with certain types of digestive malignancies associated with PSM. However, the benefit of CRS with HIPEC is still controversial, especially due to the significant morbidity associated with this procedure. According to the results of the PRODIGE 7 trial, CRS for PSM from colorectal cancer (CRC) achieved overall survival (OS) rates higher than 40 months, but the addition of oxaliplatin-based HIPEC failed to improve the long-term outcomes. Furthermore, the PROPHYLOCHIP and COLOPEC trials failed to demonstrate the effectiveness of oxaliplatin-based HIPEC for preventing peritoneal metastases development in high-risk patients operated for CRC. In this review, we discuss the limitations of these studies and the reasons why these results are not sufficient to refute this technique, until future well-designed trials evaluate the impact of different HIPEC regimens. In contrast, in pseudomyxoma peritonei, CRS plus HIPEC represents the gold standard therapy, which is able to achieve 10-year OS rates ranging between 70 and 80%. For patients with PSM from gastric carcinoma, CRS plus HIPEC achieved median OS rates higher than 40 months after complete cytoreduction in patients with a peritoneal cancer index (PCI) ≤6. However, the data have not yet been validated in randomized clinical trials. In this review, we discuss the controversies regarding the most efficient drugs that should be used for HIPEC and the duration of the procedure. We also discuss the current evidence and controversies related to the benefit of CRS (and HIPEC) in patients with PSM from other digestive malignancies. Although it is a palliative treatment, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC) significantly increases OS in patients with unresectable PSM from gastric cancer and represents a promising approach for patients with PSM from other digestive cancers.

INTRODUCTION: Palliation is a controversial indication for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) are living longer, and the roles of palliative CRS and HIPEC are increasingly challenged. The purpose of this study is to evaluate indications, morbidity, and symptom improvement from CRS/HIPEC in advanced PC. METHODS: A retrospective review of patients undergoing CRS and/or HIPEC with a palliative intent at a single institution from February 2008 to February 2018 was performed. Main end points included symptom improvement, symptom-free interval, and overall survival. RESULTS: Two hundred and seventy seven patients were referred for CRS/HIPEC during the study period and 17 underwent 20 palliative procedures. Appendiceal (n = 6) and colorectal cancers (n = 6) were the most common malignancies. Ascites (n = 8) and bowel obstruction (n = 8) were the most common indications for intervention. The postoperative complication rate was 50% and major complication rate was 20%. Partial symptom improvement or resolution of symptoms was achieved in 18 (90%) cases. A durable symptom control at 90 d was achieved in 13 (65%) cases. The median time to symptom recurrence was 5.1 mo (interquartile range: 2-11.4), and the median overall survival was 11.6 mo (interquartile range: 3.8-28.5). CONCLUSIONS: Palliative CRS and/or HIPEC achieve symptom improvement in patients with advanced PC. Risk assessment and expected time to recovery from surgery remain paramount for patient selection.

INTRODUCTION: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a generalized term, usually known as "jelly belly" since 1884. Incidence is very low, 1-3 per million people per year. Because of its indolent nature, it is usually diagnosed at an advanced stage, thereby impacting the quality of life. The 5-year survival rate varies from 23 to 86% in world literature. Even 10 years and 20 years of survival have been described. With our experience, we like to propose rename of PMP as abdomino-peritoneal mucinous carcinoma (APM) as we strongly feel the time has come to specify the term and standardize the management strategy. METHODOLOGY: In the premier institute of India and as a tertiary referral center, we experienced the maximum number of advanced cases of APM. From 2012 to 2021, we analyzed all the APM patients based on a prospectively maintained computerized database in the department of surgical oncology and found the reasons for renaming from this traditional one. RESULTS: We included a total of 87 patients who underwent surgical intervention. Thirty-five patients underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and 52 patients underwent debulking. In CRS-HIPEC patients, CC-0 was achieved in 28 patients (80%), CC-1 in 4 patients (11.4%), and CC-2 in 3 patients (8.6%). Palliative intent HIPEC was done in 3 patients (8.6%). Clavien-Dindo grade III and IV morbidity was observed in 18.8% of patients with 90 days mortality of 5.7%. CONCLUSION: With our long-term experience and advancement of scientific evidence, we like to propose a new name for PMP as APM. We strongly believe this paper will give a clear picture of this rare disease and standard management outlines.

BACKGROUND: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) syndrome is a disease process that typically occurs from ruptured appendiceal mucocele neoplasms. PMP syndrome arising from malignant transformation of an ovarian primary mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is a pathogenesis rarely encountered. CASE PRESENTATION: Herein, we report a 28-year-old patient evaluated and treated for a right ovarian mass and large volume symptomatic abdominopelvic mucinous ascites. Molecular profiling and genetic analysis revealed mutations in ATM, GNAS, and KRAS proteins while IHC demonstrated gastrointestinal-specific staining for CK20, CDX2, CK7, and SATB2. Peritoneal cytology showed paucicellular mucin. Diffuse peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM) variant of PMP arising from a ruptured ovarian primary MCT after malignant transformation to a low-grade appendiceal-like mucinous neoplasm was ultimately confirmed. Treatment included staged therapeutic tumor debulking and right salpingo-oophorectomy followed by cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). CONCLUSIONS: Our report builds upon the existing literature supporting this aggressive treatment option reserved for advanced abdominal malignancies utilized in this patient with a rare clinical entity.

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been established as a novel treatment approach for peritoneal sarcomatosis. Despite promising clinical reports, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding optimal drug usage and local effects. Therefore, we intended to establish a murine animal model for further evaluation. PROCEDURE: Alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma cells were xenotransplanted into NOD/LtSz-scid IL2Rγnullmice (n = 100). The mice received a continuous intraperitoneal lavage with isotonic saline solution as control or with cisplatin (30 or 60 mg/m2 ) as treatment group for 60 minutes at 37°C or 42°C (6 subgroups, each n = 16). Tumor spread was documented by an adapted peritoneal cancer index and MRI (n = 4). Tumor and tissue samples, harvested at the end of the perfusion, were evaluated regarding morphology, proliferation, and apoptosis (H&E-, Ki-67-, cleaved caspase 3-staining, TUNEL assay). RESULTS: Extensive peritoneal sarcomatosis in over 91% of the cases was observed. HIPEC was feasible without acute side effects. Ki-67 staining revealed concentration- or temperature-dependent effects of cisplatin-based HIPEC on the tumors. Although cleaved caspase-3 showed only sporadic apoptotic effects. TUNEL assay detected concentration- or temperature-dependent apoptotic effects at the outer tumor surface. MRI scans confirmed the observed tumor dissemination. CONCLUSION: This is the first animal model for evaluation of HIPEC in pediatric RMS in mice. Cisplatin-based HIPEC had early effects on the proliferation whereas circumscribed apoptotic effects could be detected at the tumor surface. This model allows further insights on the possible efficiency of HIPEC in RMS. Further studies using other drug combinations and treatment will follow.

In cases of ovarian carcinoma, primary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is the standard treatment up to stage IIIB, but patient selection for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in selected cases is controversial. A total of 200 patients with advanced ovarian cancer were analyzed retrospectively, according to specific selection criteria. Primary CRS was performed in 95 patients (47.5%) and interval CRS after 3-6 cycles of NACT was performed in 105 patients (52.5%). After median follow-up of 35 months, 5-year overall survival was 53.7% in the upfront CRS group and 42.2% in the NACT group. Primary CRS is the standard in advanced stages of ovarian carcinoma, but in certain subset of patients, NACT is preferred. Identifying that group is challenging but feasible. Proper selection of patients is key to successful outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is a common treatment for peritoneal surface malignancies but no standard carrier solution currently exists for the procedure. This study compared a standard low-dextrose perfusate to a higher-dextrose dialysate that has previously shown favorable impact on perioperative patient outcomes in trauma settings. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A single-center retrospective study identified patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC from 2008 to 2019 with recorded dextrose concentration of administered perfusate. An institutional shift to a higher-dextrose solution was made in late 2015. Comparisons of preoperative factors, intraoperative and postoperative glucose levels, and postoperative outcomes were made using the chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, Wilcoxon rank sum test, or repeated measures analysis of variance. RESULTS: There were 97 patients in the study, 73 (75%) in the low-dextrose group and 24 (25%) in the high-dextrose group. There was no significant difference in peak intraoperative blood glucose levels between the 1.5% (mean 230 mg/dL) and the 2.5% group (mean 199 mg/dL, P = 0.15). Daily postoperative glucose values were also not statistically different (repeated measures analysis of variance, P = 0.18). Median length of stay was slightly lower for the high-dextrose group (10 d, interquartile range 8-15) than that for the low-dextrose group (12 d, interquartile range 9-17), but was not statistically significant (P = 0.29). Return of bowel function and resumption of diet were similar between the groups. The high-dextrose group had a lower rate of overall complications (20.8%) than the low-dextrose group (49.3%, P = 0.0143). Ninety-day mortality was equivalent between the two groups (2.7% low-dextrose, 4.2% high-dextrose, P = 1.0). CONCLUSIONS: Use of 2.5% dextrose-containing perfusate appears safe for CRS/HIPEC operations, does not negatively impact intraoperative or postoperative glucose levels, and may be associated with a decreased risk of complications.

BACKGROUND: We sought to identify patterns of care for patients with appendiceal cancer and identify clinical factors associated with patient selection for multimodality treatment, including cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/PIC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: National Cancer Database (NCDB) data from 2004 to 2014 of all diagnoses of appendiceal cancers were examined. We examined treatment modalities, as well as demographic, tumor-specific, and survival data. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the patient cohort most likely to receive CRS/PIC. Kaplan-Meier was used to estimate survival for all treatment groups. Significance was evaluated at P ≤ 0.05. RESULTS: We analyzed data on 18,055 patients. Nine thousand nine hundred ninety-two (55.3%) were treated with surgery only, 5848 (32.4%) received surgery and systemic chemotherapy, 1393 (7.71%) received CRS/PIC, 520 (2.88%) received chemotherapy alone, and 302 (1.67%) received neither surgery nor chemotherapy. Significant predictors of receiving CRS/PIC included male sex (OR 1.33, 95% CI: 1.11-1.59), white race (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.40-2.86), non-Hispanic ethnicity (OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.21-3.05), private insurance (OR 1.52, 95% CI 1.26-1.84), and well-differentiated tumors (OR 4.25, CI: 3.39-5.32) (P < 0.05). Treatment with CRS/PIC was associated with a higher 5-year survival for mucinous malignancies, when compared to surgery alone (65.6% versus 62.4%, P < 0.01). Treatment with CRS/PIC was also associated with higher 5-year survival for well-differentiated malignancies, when compared to all other treatment modalities (74.9% versus 65.4%, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Patients were more likely to undergo CRS/PIC if they were male, white, privately insured, and with well-differentiated tumors. CRS/PIC was associated with improved survival in patients with mucinous and low-grade tumors.

BACKGROUND: Minimally invasive surgery is playing an increasing role in the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal and gynaecological malignancies as the data show reduced morbidity, faster recovery and similar oncological outcome when compared to open procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The American Society of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (ASPSM) conducted a retrospective study to analyse peritonectomy procedures and HIPEC done via the laparoscopic route. A database with standard clinical and pathological parameters was set up and distributed amongst ASPSM members. Rate of relapse, morbidity and mortality were the primary endpoints of the study. RESULTS: A total of 90 patients from 7 centres around the world were identified. Sixty percent were female. Mean age was 50 years. Peritoneal carcinomatosis from appendiceal origin was the most common diagnosis in a 64.9% of patients and colon origin was diagnosed in 16.5% of patients. Mean peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 4.1 (0-10). Forty-one percent of patients had a bowel resection. Mean operative time was 4.7 h (2.5-8). All patients had a complete cytoreduction and HIPEC. Grade 3 and 4 morbidity was 3.0 and 6.5%, respectively. The most common reason for re-operation was an internal hernia in 2 out of 5 cases. Operative mortality and re-admission rates were 0 and 5%, respectively. Mean hospital stay was 7.4 days (1-18). At a mean follow-up of 31.6 months, 15/90 patients have a disease relapse but loco-regional relapse was identified in only five patients. CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of these data suggests that minimally invasive approach for peritonectomy procedures and HIPEC is feasible, safe and should be considered as part of the armamentarium for highly selected patients with peritoneal surface malignancies with limited tumour burden, defined as PCI of 10 or less and borderline tumours as low-grade pseudomyxoma and benign multicystic mesothelioma.

AIM: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) is the treatment regime most likely to achieve prolonged survival in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastroenteric cancer. To date, few publications have focused on the treatment of patients with gastric cancer alone. Several controversies remain unsolved, including the safety and effectiveness of the CRS-HIPEC combination regime, particularly in cases where HIPEC is used as adjuvant treatment after CRS. Therefore, in the current study, we aimed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CRS combined with HIPEC in patients with gastric cancer. METHOD: Data from 231 patients with a median age of 55.1 years treated with the CRS-HIPEC combination regime between January 2009 and December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. All patients underwent the combination therapy (mean of 2.4 cycles per patient, range, 1 to 4 cycles). RESULTS: Median overall survival was 37.0 months, with 1-, 2- and 3-year survival rates recorded as 83.4%, 68.5%, and 38.7%, respectively. The serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199) were significantly decreased after combination therapy in the completeness of cytoreduction (CCR)-0 and CCR-1 groups, while no significant changes observed in marker levels were observed in the CC ≥2 group. The post-operative morbidity and mortality rates were 6.9% and 0.9%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed low TNM tumour stage, ascites condition and CCR score as independent predictors for better survival. CONCLUSION: In view of the acceptable morbidity and mortality rates we propose that CRS combined with HIPEC presents an effective and safe treatment modality for patients with gastric cancer, especially in cases where optimal cytoreduction is achieved before the HIPEC procedure.

INTRODUCTION: Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is increasingly being treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), with or without early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC). We compared the morbidities, overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) between two groups of patients who underwent CRS and HIPEC alone and with EPIC at our institution. METHODS: A retrospective review of 111 patients with PC who were treated with CRS + HIPEC or CRS + HIPEC + EPIC in a single institution between January 2008 and April 2014 was performed. EPIC with 5-fluorouracil or paclitaxel was utilised, depending on the primary tumour. RESULTS: Patients who received EPIC had a higher proportion of grade III and above post- operative complications (58% versus 25%; p = 0.048) and a longer duration of hospitalisation (16 days versus 13 days; p = 0.019) than patients without EPIC. There were no significant OS and DFS differences between the EPIC and no EPIC groups (log-rank p = 0.231 and p = 0.144, respectively). CONCLUSION: The use of EPIC after CRS + HIPEC for PC potentially results in increased morbidity and longer hospitalisation, and is unlikely to affect survival outcomes. Based on our experience, EPIC is not recommended after CRS and HIPEC.

Peritoneal carcinosis is considered to be a lethal disease with a very poor prognosis, however cytoreducticve surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) could represent a significant step forward in the therapy of peritoneal cranosis. In contrast to traditional surgical procedures and intravenous chemotherapy, which are moderately effective, CRS and HIPEC are new, personalised interventions, which can extend the lifespan of the patients in the majority of the cases. Moreover, there is a possibility to carry out definitive, curative therapy in a well-selected group of cases. The aim of this article is to review the relevant literature on these procedures, which are novelties in Hungary, and to include our own experience, too.
RESUMO
Advanced gastric cancer (GC) has been recognized as lethal disease when peritoneal metastases (PM) occurred. There is no standard treatment for advanced GC with PM. Until 1980s, the therapeutic arena for these patients had remained stagnant, with no therapeutic approach having shown a survival gain in GC with PM. However, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with peritonectomy procedures and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) promising new combined therapeutic approach to achieve disease control for GC with PM. The recent publications changed the GC with PM treatment landscape by providing an evidence that CRS and IPC led to prolongation in overall survival (OS). This review will provide an overview of the evolving role of CRS and IPC in the management of advanced GC with PM in the current era.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: There is little evidence on KRAS mutational profiles in colorectal cancer (CRC) peritoneal metastases (PM). This study aims to determine the prevalence of specific KRAS mutations and their prognostic value in a homogeneous cohort of patients with isolated CRC PM treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Data were collected from 13 Italian centers, gathered in a collaborative group of the Italian Society of Surgical Oncology. KRAS mutation subtypes have been correlated with clinical and pathological characteristics and survival [overall survival (OS), local (peritoneal) disease-free survival (LDFS) and disease-free survival (DFS)]. RESULTS: KRAS mutations occurred in 172 patients (47.5%) out of the 362 analyzed. Two different prognostic groups of KRAS mutation subtypes were identified: KRASMUT1 (G12R, G13A, G13C, G13V, Q61H, K117N, A146V), median OS > 120 months and KRASMUT2 (G12A, G12C, G12D, G12S, G12V, G13D, A59E, A59V, A146T), OS: 31.2 months. KRASMUT2 mutations mainly occurred in the P-loop region (P < 0.001) with decreased guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis activity (P < 0.001) and were more frequently related to size (P < 0.001) and polarity change (P < 0.001) of the substituted amino acid (AA). When KRASMUT1 and KRASMUT2 were combined with other known prognostic factors (peritoneal cancer index, completeness of cytoreduction score, grading, signet ring cell, N status) in multivariate analysis, KRASMUT1 showed a similar survival rate to KRASWT patients, whereas KRASMUT2 was independently associated with poorer prognosis (hazard ratios: OS 2.1, P < 0.001; DFS 1.9, P < 0.001; LDFS 2.5, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: In patients with CRC PM, different KRAS mutation subgroups can be determined according to specific codon substitution, with some mutations (KRASMUT1) that could have a similar prognosis to wild-type patients. These findings should be further investigated in larger series.

BACKGROUND: For patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) peritoneal metastases (PM) who are eligible for cytoreductive surgery (CRS), the indication and timing of systemic chemotherapy (SC) are still under debate. This study aims to analyze the role of pre, post or perioperative SC on the survival and surgical complications of patients treated with CRS-HIPEC. METHODS: After a systematic search in MEDLINE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, Web of Science and Embase, a meta-analysis was performed to compare postoperative complications, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) according to SC administration and timing. PROSPERO: CRD42023478977. RESULTS: Of 1203 studies screened, 15 were included in the meta-analysis (4523 patients). Post-operative SC was associated with increased overall survival (post-SC vs. no post-SC: HR 0.81, p = 0.00001, I2 = 0%; pre-SC vs. post-SC: HR 0.65, p = 0.01, I2 = 28%), whereas SC (pre or post) or pre-SC compared to surgery alone was not (SC vs. no SC: p = 0.29, I2 = 80%; pre-SC vs. no pre-SC: p = 0.59, I2 = 58%). Similar results were seen for DFS. SC was not associated with an increased complication rate (p = 0.47, I2 = 64%). CONCLUSIONS: Systemic chemotherapy administration in patients undergoing radical surgery for colorectal peritoneal metastases is associated with increased survival only in the adjuvant/post-operative setting. Considering the limitations of the included studies, further trials are needed to answer this unresolved question.
RESUMO
The peritoneal metastasized colorectal cancer (pmCRC) represents a serious health problem worldwide with a special emphasis in the developed countries. Several guidelines recognize the role of multimodal therapy consisting of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the treatment of pmCRC. New data suggests that some other factors, eg, tumor biology, immune profile, neoadjuvant chemotherapy may play a predictive role for the oncological outcome of these patients.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a major treatment of colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CPC). The aim was to determine the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients undergoing CRS-HIPEC for CPC and factors associated with long-term survival (LTS). METHODS: consecutive CPC patients who underwent CRS-HIPEC at a HIPEC center between 2007 and 2021 were included. Actual survival was calculated, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify factors associated with OS, DFS and LTS. RESULTS: there were 125 patients with CPC who underwent primary CRS-HIPEC, with mean age of 54.5 years. Median follow-up was 31 months. Average intraoperative PCI was 11, and complete cytoreduction (CC-0) was achieved in 96.8%. Median OS was 41.6 months (6-196). The 2-year and 5-year OS were 68% and 24.8%, respectively, and the 2-year DFS was 28.8%. Factors associated with worse OS included pre-HIPEC systemic therapy, synchronous extraperitoneal metastasis, and PCI ≥ 20 (p < 0.05). Progression prior to CRS-HIPEC was associated with worse DFS (p < 0.05). Lower PCI, fewer complications, lower recurrence and longer DFS were associated with LTS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: CRS and HIPEC improve OS in CPC patients but they have high disease recurrence. Outcomes depend on preoperative therapy response, extraperitoneal metastasis, and peritoneal disease burden.

BACKGROUND: This study aims to assess and compare the extent to which preoperative chemotherapy prior to CRS improves survival in patients diagnosed with CRCPM. METHODS: We included 251 patients from 2012 to 2019 in our center. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis was used to minimize the selection bias. Survival analysis was performed to compare the survival outcomes. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was conducted to identify prognostic factors. RESULT: The baseline characteristics were well balanced using IPTW (standardized mean difference < 0.1). Preoperative chemotherapy cannot significantly improve overall survival (HR, 1.03; 95% CI 0.71-1.49; P = 0.88). In subgroup analysis, we found that intestinal obstruction after preoperative chemotherapy significantly reduced survival (HR, 2.25; 95% CI 1.01-5.03; P = 0.048), while in the upfront surgery group, intestinal obstruction had no impact on prognosis. CONCLUSION: For CRCPM patients treated with CRS, preoperative chemotherapy does not seem to prolong overall survival. Furthermore, the emergence of intestinal obstruction after chemotherapy may compromise the effectiveness of treatment, resulting in a worse prognosis. This finding has important clinical implications for treatment decisions.

The safety and efficacy of hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITHOC) as an adjunct to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in pleural malignancies has been well demonstrated. This is most often described in cases of mesothelioma, thymoma, or other secondary pleural metastases. The utilization of a direct cytotoxic agent with increased penetration secondary to a hyperthermic environment is especially beneficial in pleural malignancy as a microscopic resection remains immensely challenging. Despite favorable outcomes with a limited associated risk profile, there persists a variety in utilization and technique of HITHOC described in current literature. National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines state that though intraoperative adjuvant therapies such as HITHOC have been studied, they remain of unclear benefit and definitive recommendations do not currently exist. This ambiguity limits the standardization of HITHOC, thus hindering its further application in a patient population with exceedingly poor outcomes within current guideline-based therapy. As the prevalence of pleural malignancies necessitating CRS with adjuvant HITHOC remains quite low, we believe a task force initiative to further investigate the role of HITHOC in surgical management of pleural malignancies would enable wider utility of this promising technique. Additionally, we propose that the creation of a pleural cancer index could aid in standardization of HITHOC in those with pleural malignancy.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The selection of patients undergoing cytoreductive- surgery (CRS) followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is crucial. BIOSCOPE and COMPASS are prognostic scores designed to stratify survival into four classes according to clinical and pathological features. The purpose of this study is to analyze the prognostic role of these scores using a large cohort of patients as an external reference. METHODS: Overall survival analysis was performed using Log-Rank and Kaplan-Meier curves for each score. The probability of survival at 12, 36, and 60 months was tested using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to determine sensitivity and specificity. RESULTS: From the validation cohort of 437 patients, the analysis included 410 patients in the COMPASS group and 364 patients in the BIOSCOPE group (100% data completeness). We observed a different patient distribution between classes (high-risk for BIOSCOPE compared to COMPASS, p = 0.0001). Nevertheless, both COMPASS and BIOSCOPE effectively stratified overall survival (Log-Rank, p = 0.0001 in both cases), with a lack of discrimination between COMPASS classes II and III (p = n.s.). COMPASS at 12 m and BIOSCOPE at 60 m showed the best performance in terms of survival prediction (AUC of 0.82 and 0.81). The specificity of the two tests is good (median 81.3%), whereas sensibility is quite low (median 64.2%). CONCLUSION: Following external validation in a large population of patients with CRC-PM who are eligible for surgery, the COMPASS and BIOSCOPE scores exhibit high inter-test variability but effectively stratify cancer-related mortality risk. While the quality of the scores is similar, BIOSCOPE shows better inter-tier differentiation, suggesting that tumor molecular classification could improve test discrimination capability. More powerful stratification scores with the inclusion of novel predictors are needed.
