ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMNs) are tumors that often present with widespread mucin in the peritoneal cavity (pseudomyxoma peritonei [PMP]). Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are effective treatment, but no published recommendations exist regarding surveillance.METHODS:
Data from prospective databases of patients who underwent CRS-HIPEC from 2001 to 2017 at two high-volume institutions were retrospectively analyzed. Patients who underwent complete CRS-HIPEC for PMP secondary to LAMN were included in the analysis. Pathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of LAMN. Cases of mucinous adenocarcinomas and neuroendocrine tumors (goblet cell carcinoids) were excluded.RESULTS:
The study enrolled 156 patients. The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 18 (interquartile range IQR1-3, 12-23), and 125 patients (80.1%) had a CC0 cytoreduction. According to American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) grading, 152 patients (97.4%) presented with acellular mucin or G1 implants, 2 patients (1.3%) presented with G2 disease, and 2 patients (1.3%) presented with G3 disease. During the follow-up period (median, 45 months; IQR1-3 23-76 months), 23 patients (14.7%) experienced recurrence. All the recurrences were peritoneal and occurred within 5 years. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rates were respectively 95.5%, 83.4%, and 78.3%. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that higher PCI scores (p < 0.001), a CC1 cytoreduction (p = 0.005), and higher preoperative levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (p = 0.012) and CA-125 (p = 0.032) correlated with a shorter DFS. Only higher PCI scores independently predicted earlier recurrences (p < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
Most patients had recurrence within 3 years after CRS-HIPEC, and none after 5 years. High PCI was the only independently significant variable. The study findings support intensive surveillance (every 3-6 months) with tumor markers and imaging methods during the first 3 years, and annual surveillance thereafter, with follow-up assessment after 5 years yielding limited benefit.
