RESUMEN
Purpose Primary peritoneal serous carcinoma (PPSC) is a rare condition with a poor survival rate, even after treatment with debulking surgery followed by systemic chemotherapy. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the treatment of PPSC. Patients and methods This retrospective study included 22 female patients with primary advanced PPSC (group A, n = 12) or recurrent PPSC (group B, n = 10) treated with 25 CRS + HIPEC procedures. The primary end point was overall survival (OS), and the secondary end points were safety profiles. Results A total of 25 CRS + HIPEC procedures were performed in these 22 patients. The median OS was 31.0 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 22.3-39.7), and the 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 100%, 45.5%, and 27.3%, respectively. Subgroup analyses revealed that the median OS was 31.0 months (95% CI 19.8-42.2) for group A vs. 38.5 months (95% CI 9.6-67.4) for group B (P = 0.832, log rank test); 51.5 months (95% CI 34.9-68.1) for peritoneal cancer index (PCI) ≤ 15 vs. 20.3 months (95% CI 12.6-28.0) for PCI > 15 (P = 0.000, log rank test); and 38.5 months (95% CI 22.5-54.5) for completeness of cytoreduction (CC) of 0-1 vs. 23.5 months (95% CI 15.3-31.7) for CC of 2-3 (P = 0.178, log rank test). There were no perioperative deaths. Serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred in two patients (9.1%). A univariate analysis identified PCI ≤ 15 as the only prognostic predicator (hazard ratio (HR) 13.1, 95% CI 2.7-63.4, P = 0.001). Conclusions CRS + HIPEC could contribute to favourable outcomes for select PPSC patients with acceptable safety profiles.

We evaluated the perioperative safety profile and efficacy of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in 21 patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from gastrointestinal and gynecological cancers. Twenty-one patients with PC (12 gastric cancer, 5 colorectal cancer, 2 ovarian cancer, 1 pseudomyxoma peritonei, 1 malignant mesothelioma) were treated with CRS + HIPEC with hydroxycamptothecin 20 mg and mitomycin C 30 mg in 12,000 mL of normal saline at 43 +/- .5 degrees C for 60 to 90 minutes. Vital signs were recorded for 5 days after surgery. We analyzed the following: local and systemic infections; gastrointestinal function recovery; hematological, hepatic, and renal parameters; wound healing time; adverse events; survival; and quality of life. The PC index was 2 to 33 (median, 11), the duration of operation 4 to 10 h (median, 8 h), and the highest temperature during 5 postoperative days 38.1 degrees C. Two patients developed generalized edema and were successfully treated. Five patients developed hypoproteinemia on day 1 after surgery. All routine blood tests checked at 1 week after surgery were normal. Time of gastric tube removal was 2 to 7 days. Liquid food intake time was 3 to 8 days. Time of removal of stitches was 8 to 18 days. No local or systemic infections, wound disruption, or other clinically important adverse events occurred. The follow-up was 8 to 43 months (median, 22.5 months). Eleven patients died, three survived with tumor, and seven survived free of tumor. CRS + HIPEC was well tolerated in our selected patients with PC, some of whom had improved survival.
