RESUMO
The aims of this study were to investigate incidence, risk factors and treatment of synchronous or metachronous peritoneal metastases (PM) from gastric cancer and to estimate survival of these patients using population-based data. Patients diagnosed with gastric cancer in 2015 to 2016 were selected from the Netherlands Cancer Registry. The incidence of synchronous and metachronous PM were calculated. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with the occurrence of PM. Treatment and survival were compared between patients with synchronous and metachronous PM. Of 2206 patients with gastric cancer, 741 (34%) were diagnosed with PM. Of these, 498 (23%) had synchronous PM. The cumulative incidence of metachronous PM in patients who underwent potentially curative treatment (n = 675) was 22.8% at 3 years. A factor associated with synchronous and metachronous PM was diffuse type histology. Patients diagnosed with synchronous PM more often received systemic treatment than patients with metachronous PM (35% vs 18%, respectively, P < .001). Median overall survival was comparable between synchronous and metachronous PM (3.2 vs 2.3 months, respectively, P = .731). Approximately one third of all patients with gastric cancer are diagnosed with PM, either at primary diagnosis or during 3-year follow-up after potentially curative treatment. Patients with metachronous PM less often received systemic treatment than those with synchronous PM but survival was comparable between both groups. Future trials are warranted to detect gastric cancer at an earlier stage and to examine strategies that lower the risk of peritoneal dissemination. Also, specific treatment options for patients with gastric PM should be further investigated.

BACKGROUND: Normal carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels (≤ 2.5 ng/ml) after resection of localized colorectal cancer or liver metastases are associated with improved survival, however, these trends are understudied for colorectal peritoneal metastases (CRPM). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective single-institution study of patients with CRPM undergoing cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (CRS/HIPEC) with and without neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT). CEA was measured before and after NACT and within 3 months after CRS/HIPEC. RESULTS: A total of 253 patients (mean age 55.3 years) with CRPM undergoing CRS/HIPEC had complete CEA data and 191 also underwent NACT with complete data. The median peritoneal carcinomatosis index score (PCI) of the overall cohort was 12 and 82.7% of patients had complete cytoreduction (CC0). In total, 64 (33.5%) patients had normal CEA levels after NACT with a median overall survival (OS) of 45.2 months compared with those with an elevated CEA (26.4 months, p = 0.004). Patients with normal CEA after NACT had a lower PCI found at the time of surgery than those with elevated CEA (10 versus 14, p < 0.001), 68 (26.9%) patients with an elevated preoperative CEA level experienced normalization after CRS/HIPEC, and 118 (46.6%) patients had elevated CEA after CRS/HIPEC. Patients who experienced normalization demonstrated similar OS to patients that had normal CEA levels pre- and post-surgery and improved OS compared with those with elevated postop CEA (median 41.9 versus 47 months versus 17.1 months, respectively, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Normal CEA levels after NACT and/or CRS/HIPEC are associated with improved survival for patients with CRPM. Patients that normalize CEA levels after surgery have similar survival to those with normal preoperative levels.

This manuscript reports the results of an international consensus on technologies of hyperthermic intraperitoneal perioperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) performed with the following goals: To provide recommendations for the technological parameters to perform HIPEC. To identify the role of heat and its application forms in treating peritoneal metastases. To provide recommendations regarding the correct dosimetry of intraperitoneal chemotherapy drugs and their carrier solutions. To identify for each intraperitoneal chemotherapy regimen the best dosimetry and fractionation. To identify areas of future research pertaining to HIPEC technology and regimens. This consensus was performed by the Delphi technique and comprised two rounds of voting. In total, 96 of 102 eligible panelists replied to both Delphi rounds (94.1%) with a consensus of 39/51 questions on HIPEC technical aspects. Among the recommendations that met with the strongest consensus were those concerning the dose of HIPEC drug established in mg/m2, a target temperature of at least 42°C, and the use of at least three temperature probes to pursue hyperthermia. Ninety minutes as the ideal HIPEC duration seemed to make consensus. These results should be considered when designing new clinical trials in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Selection of colorectal cancer patients with concomitant peritoneal (PM) and liver metastases (LM) for radical treatment with cytoreductive surgery (CRS), including liver resection and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), needs improvement. This retrospective, monocentric study was designed to evaluate the predictive factors for early recurrence, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) in such patients treated in a referral center. METHODS: Consecutive colorectal cancer patients with concomitant LM and PM treated with curative intent with perioperative systemic chemotherapy, simultaneous complete CRS, liver resection, and HIPEC in 2011-2022 were included. Clinical, radiological (before and after preoperative chemotherapy), surgical, and pathological data were investigated, along with long-term oncologic outcomes. A multivariate analysis was performed to identify predictive factors associated with early recurrence (diagnosed <6 months after surgery), DFS, and OS. RESULTS: Of more than 61 patients included, 31 (47.1%) had pT4 and 27 (40.9%) had pN2 primary tumors. Before preoperative chemotherapy, the median number of LM was 2 (1-4). The median surgical PCI (peritoneal carcinomatosis index) was 3 (5-8.5). The median DFS and OS were 8.15 (95% confidence interval [CI] 5.5-10.1) and 34.1 months (95% CI 28.1-53.5), respectively. In multivariate analysis, pT4 (odds ratio [OR] = 4.14 [1.2-16.78], p = 0.032]) and pN2 (OR = 3.7 [1.08-13.86], p = 0.042) status were independently associated with an early recurrence, whereas retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis (hazard ratio [HR] = 39 [8.67-175.44], p < 0.001) was independently associated with poor OS. CONCLUSIONS: In colorectal cancer patients with concomitant PM and LM, an advanced primary tumor (pT4 and/or pN2) was associated with a higher risk of early recurrence following a radical multimodal treatment, whereas RLN metastases was strongly detrimental for OS.

BACKGROUND: Selected patients with peritoneal metastases of colorectal cancer (PM-CRC) can benefit from potentially curative cytoreductive surgery (CRS) ± hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), with a median overall survival (OS) of more than 40 months. OBJECTIVE: The aims of this evidence-based consensus were to define the indications for HIPEC, to select the preferred HIPEC regimens, and to define research priorities regarding the use of HIPEC for PM-CRC. METHODS: The consensus steering committee elaborated and formulated pertinent clinical questions according to the PICO (patient, intervention, comparator, outcome) method and assessed the evidence according to the Grading of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. Standardized evidence tables were presented to an international expert panel to reach a consensus (4-point, weak and strong positive/negative) on HIPEC regimens and research priorities through a two-round Delphi process. The consensus was defined as ≥ 50% agreement for the 4-point consensus grading or ≥ 70% for either of the two combinations. RESULTS: Evidence was weak or very weak for 9/10 clinical questions. In total, 70/90 eligible panelists replied to both Delphi rounds (78%), with a consensus for 10/10 questions on HIPEC regimens. There was strong negative consensus concerning the short duration, high-dose oxaliplatin (OX) protocol (55.7%), and a weak positive vote (53.8-64.3%) in favor of mitomycin-C (MMC)-based HIPEC (preferred choice: Dutch protocol: 35 mg/m2, 90 min, three fractions), both for primary cytoreduction and recurrence. Determining the role of HIPEC after CRS was considered the most important research question, regarded as essential by 85.7% of the panelists. Furthermore, over 90% of experts suggest performing HIPEC after primary and secondary CRS for recurrence > 1 year after the index surgery. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the available evidence, despite the negative results of PRODIGE 7, HIPEC could be conditionally recommended to patients with PM-CRC after CRS. While more preclinical and clinical data are eagerly awaited to harmonize the procedure further, the MMC-based Dutch protocol remains the preferred regimen after primary and secondary CRS.

BACKGROUND: The presence at diagnosis, or development of, colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM) is common in colorectal cancer. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) show promising results in selected patients with CPM. The current study aimed to describe oncologic outcomes of patients with CPM, focusing on recurrence patterns and risk factors for adverse events. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of patients with CPM treated by CRS and HIPEC at a single institution between 2000 and 2021. RESULTS: A total of 555 patients were included, of whom 480 (86.5%) had complete cytoreduction, with a median age of 59 years and median Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) of 6. Following complete cytoreduction, 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were 51% and 31%, respectively. In multivariable Cox regression, PCI >6 (hazard ratio [HR] 2.25), pathological node positivity (pN+; HR 1.94), and perineural invasion (HR 1.85) were associated with decreased OS, while PCI >6, pN+, and previous systemic metastases resulted in reduced DFS. Overall, 284 (62%) patients developed recurrence, of whom 97 (34%) had local recurrence (LR), 100 (35%) had systemic recurrence (SR), and 87 (31%) had combined recurrence (5-year OS: 49.3%, 46%, and 37.4%, respectively). Mutated KRAS (mKRAS) was associated with lower 5-year OS (55.8%) and DFS (27.9%) compared with wild-type KRAS (wtKRAS; 70.7% and 37.6%, respectively). In multivariable analyses, mKRAS was related to decreased OS (HR 1.82), DFS (HR 1.55), and SR (OS 1.89), but not to LR. CONCLUSIONS: Complete cytoreduction results in good survival outcomes for patients with CPM. Burden of peritoneal disease and tumor biology are the main predictors of survival. Patients with mKRAS are a high-risk cohort, with increased probability of SR and reduced survival.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Addition of oxaliplatin-based hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in the treatment of peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin (CRPM) did not show any survival benefit in the PRODIGE 7 trial (P7). This study aimed to investigate whether perioperative outcomes after CRS alone for CRPM patients is mediated by hospital volume and to determine the effect of P7 on French practice for CRPM patients treated respectively with CRS alone and CRS/HIPEC. METHODS: Data from CRPM patients treated with CRS alone between 2013 and 2020 in France were collected through a national medical database. The study used a cutoff value of the annual CRS-alone caseload affecting the 90-day postoperative mortality (POM) determined from our previous study to define low-volume (LV) HIPEC and high-volume (HV) HIPEC centers. Perioperative outcomes were compared between no-HIPEC, LV-HIPEC, and HV-HIPEC centers. The trend between years and HIPEC rates was analyzed using the Cochrane-Armitage test. RESULTS: Data from 4159 procedures were analyzed. The patients treated in no-HIPEC and LV-HIPEC centers were older compared with HV-HIPEC centers (p < 0.0001) and had a higher Elixhauser comorbidity index (p < 0.0001) and less complex surgery (p < 0.0001). Whereas the major morbidity (MM) rate did not differ between groups (p = 0.79), the 90-day POM was lower in HV-HIPEC centers than in no-HIPEC and LV-HIPEC centers (5.4% vs 15% and 13.3%; p < 0.0001), with lower failure-to-rescue (FTR) (p < 0.0001). After P7, the CRS/HIPEC rate decreased drastically in Cancer centers (p < 0.001), whereas patients treated with CRS alone are still referred to expert centers. CONCLUSIONS: Centralization of CRS alone should improve patient selection as well as FTR and POM. After P7, CRS/HIPEC decreased mostly in Cancer centers, without any impact on the number of CRS-alone cases referred to expert centers.

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases can be treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Treatment may result in biopsychosocial late effects (LEs). We explored the frequency and severity of the following biopsychosocial LEs: anxiety, depression, fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), insomnia, fatigue, cognitive impairment, and pain, and evaluated their impact on quality of life (QoL). METHOD: This was a national prospective cohort study screening for LEs during the period January 2021-May 2023. Patients completed the following questionnaires: General Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, FCR Inventory-Short Form, Insomnia Severity Index, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue, cognitive impairment (six items from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Item Library), and the Rectal Cancer Pain Score. Preregistration was completed at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04956107). RESULT: In total, 99 patients were included. The mean age was 61 years and 57% were women. At 3 months after surgery, the frequent LEs were fatigue (72%), FCR (58%), and pain (48%), and at 12 months after surgery, the frequent LEs were FCR (65%), fatigue (40%), and insomnia (33%). More than half of the patients (54%) reported at least two LEs after 12 months. Patients with moderate-to-severe LEs reported a lower QoL than patients with no/mild LEs. Patients with no/mild LEs had a similar QoL as the Danish norm population. CONCLUSION: Biopsychosocial LEs were prevalent. The QoL of patients reporting LEs in the worst severity categories was negatively impacted. Screening and treatment for these LEs should be a focus in cancer survivor follow-up.

BACKGROUND: The PRECINCT (Pattern of peritoneal dissemination and REsponse to systemic Chemotherapy IN Common and uncommon peritoneal Tumors) is a prospective, multicenter, observational study. This report from phase I of PRECINCT outlines variations in recording the surgical peritoneal cancer index (sPCI) at experienced peritoneal malignancy centers and the incidence of pathologically confirmed disease in morphologically different peritoneal lesions (PL). METHODS: The sPCI was recorded in a prespecified format that included the morphological appearance of PL. Six prespecified morphological terms were provided. The surgical and pathological findings were compared. RESULTS: From September 2020 to December 2021, 707 patients were enrolled at 10 centers. The morphological details are routinely recorded at two centers, structure bearing the largest nodule, and exact size of the largest tumor deposit in each region at four centers each. The most common morphological terms used were normal peritoneum in 3091 (45.3%), tumor nodules in 2607 (38.2%) and confluent disease in 786 (11.5%) regions. The incidence of pathologically confirmed disease was significantly higher in 'tumor nodules' with a lesion score of 2/3 compared with a lesion score of 1 (63.1% vs. 31.5%; p < 0.001). In patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the incidence of pathologically confirmed disease did not differ significantly from those undergoing upfront surgery [751 (47.7%) and 532 (51.4%) respectively; p = 0.069]. CONCLUSIONS: The sPCI was recorded with heterogeneity at different centers. The incidence of pathologically confirmed disease was 49.2% in 'tumor nodules'. Frozen section could be used more liberally for these lesions to aid clinical decisions. A large-scale study involving pictorial depiction of different morphological appearances and correlation with pathological findings is indicated.
RESUMO
Treatment guidelines provided by PRODIGE-7 recommend perioperative systemic chemotherapy before cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases (CRPM). Toxicity with multimodal treatment needs to be better defined. Chemotherapy response and impact on survival have not been reported. We assessed CRPM patients who received systemic oxaliplatin/irinotecan before CRS (preoperative) with Mitomycin C (35 mg/m2, 90 min) or Oxaliplatin (368 mg/m2, 30 min) heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Secondary analysis was performed from a prospective database. Overall survival (OS) in chemotherapy responders (R) and nonresponders (NR) was compared. Toxicity was assessed by rate of adverse events (AEs). From April 2005 to April 2021, 436 patients underwent CRS + HIPEC; 125 (29%) received preoperative chemotherapy. The 112 (90%) received oxaliplatin (64, 57%) or irinotecan (48, 43%). R, defined as complete (CR) or partial response on preoperative imaging and/or postoperative histology, was seen in 71, 63% (53.8-72.3); 16, 14% (8.4-22.2) had CR. Median OS in R versus NR was 43.7 months (37.9-49.4) versus 23.9 (16.3-31.4) p = 0.007, HR 0.51 (0.31-0.84). OS multivariable analysis showed HR 0.48 (0.25-0.95), p = 0.03 for chemotherapy response corrected by peritoneal cancer index, completeness of cytoreduction score. CRS led to 21% grade 3-4 AEs versus 4% for preoperative chemotherapy. HIPEC grade 3-4 AEs were 0.5%. Preoperative chemotherapy response is an independent predictor for OS in CRPM.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: In patients with appendiceal mucinous neoplasm with peritoneal dissemination, a cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with perioperative chemotherapy may result in long-term survival. Disease progression may require secondary cytoreductive surgery (SCRS) and other treatments in selected patients to improve survival and preserve an optimal quality of life. METHODS: The clinical- and treatment-related variables associated with the index CRS and SCRS were statistically assessed for impact on survival after SCRS. RESULTS: A total of 186 of 687 complete CRS patients (27.1%) had SCRS. Median follow-up was 10 years and median survival was 12 years. In 95 males (51%) the median age was 45.0 years. Survival benefit with SCRS was observed if early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) with 5-fluorouracil (EPIC 5-FU) or hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) plus EPIC 5-FU was used with the index CRS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.6, p = 0.0360; HR: 0.4, p = 0.0004, respectively). By propensity matching of 51 pairs of patients, EPIC 5-FU used with index CRS caused a survival advantage compared to HIPEC alone (p = 0.0100) with index CRS (p = 0.0100). CONCLUSIONS: Use of EPIC 5-FU at a complete index CRS was a prognostic variable that improved survival in patients requiring SCRS. Further investigations into the benefits of antiadhesion treatments with CRS and HIPEC are warranted.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy can be administered as a single dose associated with hyperthermia (HIPEC) or in successive doses under normothermic conditions, such as early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) or normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC or NIPEC-LT). Repetitive administration of intraperitoneal chemotherapy over a prolonged period may be associated with catheter-related complications, which are the primary cause of treatment interruption. This study aims to introduce and evaluate an innovative catheter system designed to mitigate these issues. METHODS: Using a porcine experimental model, we tested a new catheter for long-term intraperitoneal access. Sixteen animals underwent catheter implantation followed by normothermic recirculation of peritoneal dialysis solution. Catheter functionality and any complications were monitored throughout successive treatment cycles. RESULTS: The new catheter system demonstrated optimal recirculation and maintained its functionality throughout successive treatments, without complications. Catheter replacement with a guidewire was successful, ensuring continued efficacy. CONCLUSIONS: The innovative catheter system shows promise in reducing complications and improving compliance in successive intraperitoneal chemotherapy doses, justifying further clinical trials to confirm its efficacy in patients.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The greater omentum is routinely resected during cytoreductive surgery (CRS), but few studies have analyzed the rationale behind this. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of omental metastases (OM) and the correlation between macroscopically suspected and microscopically confirmed OM, in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) or colorectal peritoneal metastases (PM). METHOD: All patients without previous omentectomy, treated with initial CRS and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for PMP or colorectal PM, at Uppsala University Hospital in 2013-2021, were included. Macroscopic OM in surgical reports was compared with histopathological analyses. RESULTS: In all, 276 patients were included. In those with PMP, 112 (98%) underwent omentectomy and 67 (59%) had macroscopic suspicion of OM. In 5 (4%) patients, the surgeon was uncertain. Histopathology confirmed OM in 81 (72%). In patients with macroscopic suspicion, 96% had confirmed OM (positive predictive value, PPV). In patients with no suspicion, 24% had occult OM (negative predictive value, NPV = 76%). In patients with colorectal PM, 156 (96%) underwent omentectomy and 97 (60%) had macroscopic suspicion. For 5 (3%) patients, the surgeon was uncertain. OM was microscopically confirmed in 90 (58%). PPV was 85% and NPV was 89%. The presence of OM was a univariate risk factor for death in PMP (HR 3.62, 95%CI 1.08-12.1) and colorectal PM (HR 1.67, 95%CI 1.07-2.60), but not in multivariate analyses. CONCLUSION: OM was common and there was a high risk of missing occult OM in both PMP and colorectal PM. These results support the practice of routine omentectomy during CRS.

BACKGROUND: There is uncertainty in the relative benefits and harms of hyperthermic intraoperative peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) when added to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) +/- systemic chemotherapy or systemic chemotherapy alone in people with peritoneal metastases from colorectal, gastric, or ovarian cancers. METHODS: We searched randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the medical literature until April 14, 2022 and applied methods used for high-quality systematic reviews. FINDINGS: We included a total of eight RCTs (seven RCTs included in quantitative analysis as one RCT did not provide data in an analyzable format). All comparisons other than ovarian cancer contained only one trial. For gastric cancer, there is high uncertainty about the effect of CRS + HIPEC + systemic chemotherapy. For stage III or greater epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing interval cytoreductive surgery, CRS + HIPEC + systemic chemotherapy probably decreases all-cause mortality compared to CRS + systemic chemotherapy. For colorectal cancer, CRS + HIPEC + systemic chemotherapy probably results in little to no difference in all-cause mortality and may increase the serious adverse events proportions compared to CRS +/- systemic chemotherapy, but probably decreases all-cause mortality compared to fluorouracil-based systemic chemotherapy alone. INTERPRETATION: The role of CRS + HIPEC in gastric peritoneal metastases is uncertain. CRS + HIPEC should be standard of care in women with stage III or greater epithelial ovarian cancer undergoing interval CRS. CRS + systemic chemotherapy should be standard of care for people with colorectal peritoneal metastases, with HIPEC given only as part of a RCT focusing on subgroups and regimes.

PURPOSE: Peritoneal metastases (PM) of neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN) origin are identified with increasing frequency and exert a significant effect on quality of life and clinical status of the patients. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics and the prognostic significance of PM in patients with NENs. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of the data of patients from two tertiary referral centers was performed. We defined a control group of age- and gender-matched NEN patients with comparable stage IV disease but no PM. RESULTS: We analysed 70 patients (41 females) with PM. Small intestine was the most common primary NEN site (87.1%). PM prevalence was 10.3%. Forty-four patients presented with synchronous PM, whereas 26 developed metachronous PM. The majority of patients had other concomitant metastases (50 hepatic, 6 lung and 12 bone metastases). Twelve patients developed intestinal obstruction. After PM diagnosis, 76% of patients received treatment with somatostatin analogues while six patients (8.6%) were treated with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). The median progression-free survival (PFS) in the PRRT-treated group was 15 months (95% CI 2-28). Median overall survival (OS) in the PM group was 142 months [95% CI 71-213] while it was not reached in the control group. CONCLUSION: Peritoneal metastases show low prevalence among NEN patients and are most likely to develop in patients with small intestinal NENs and advanced metastatic disease. The presence of PM does seem to be associated with a negative prognostic impact on OS of NEN patients and their identification and prompt treatment is of major importance.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) are commonly known to have a dismal prognosis. Over the past decades, novel techniques such as cytoreductive surgery (CRS), hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) have been introduced for the treatment of PSM which could improve the overall survival and quality of life of patients with PSM. The decision to proceed with CRS and HIPEC is often challenging due the complexity of the disease, the extent of the procedure, associated side effects, and potential risks. Here, we present our experience with CRS and HIPEC to add to the ongoing discussion about eligibility criteria, technical approach, and expected outcomes and contribute to the evolution of this powerful and promising tool in the multidisciplinary treatment of patients with primary and secondary PSM. METHODS: A single-center retrospective chart review was conducted and included a total of 40 patients treated with CRS and HIPEC from April 2020 to September 2022 at the University Hospital Münster Department of Surgery. All patients had histologically confirmed primary or secondary peritoneal malignancies of various primary origins. RESULTS: Our study included 22 patients with peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer (55%), 8 with pseudomyxoma peritonei (20%), 4 with mesothelioma of the peritoneum (10%), and 6 patients with PSM originating from other primary tumor locations. Median PCI at time of cytoreduction was 4 (0-25). Completeness of cytoreduction score was 0 in 37 patients (92.5%), 1 in two patients (5%), and 2 in one patient (2.5%). Median overall survival across all patients was 3.69 years. CONCLUSION: Complete cytoreduction during CRS and HIPEC can be achieved for patients with low PCI, for patients with high PCI in low-grade malignancies, and even for patients with initially high PCI in high-grade malignancies following a significant reduction of cancer burden due to extensive preoperative treatment with PIPAC and systemic chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: Colorectal peritoneal metastases (CRPM) are present in 10-20% of patients at the time of their initial cancer diagnosis, and affects over 20% of those who develop colorectal cancer recurrence. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with HIPEC is firmly established as the optimal surgical treatment, but there is very little known about the benefit of repeat or iterative CRS. The aim of this review is to provide a systematic evaluation of the perioperative complications, survival outcomes and quality of life in patients undergoing repeat CRS with HIPEC for CRPM. METHODS: A systematic review of PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus and Cochrane databases was performed to identify all studies that reported outcomes for repeat CRS with or without HIPEC for CRPM. RESULTS: Four hundred and ninety-three manuscripts were screened, and 15 retrospective studies were suitable for inclusion. Sample sizes ranged from 2 to 30 participants and comprised a total of 229 patients. HIPEC was used in all studies, but exact rates were not consistently stated. Perioperative morbidity was reported in four studies, between 16.7% and 37.5%. Nine studies reported mortality rate which was consistently 0%. The median overall survival after repeat CRS ranged from 20 to 62.6 months. No studies provided quality of life metrics. CONCLUSION: Repeat CRS for CRPM has perioperative morbidity and mortality rates comparable to initial CRS, and offers a potential survival benefit in selected patients. There is however limited high-quality data in the literature.

BACKGROUND: Colorectal peritoneal metastases (CRPM) affects 15% of patients at initial colorectal cancer diagnosis. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) prior to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) has been demonstrated to be a safe and feasible option, however there is limited data describing its efficacy in advanced peritoneal disease. This study evaluated the effect of NAC on survival in patients with high volume CRPM undergoing CRS with or without HIPEC. METHODS: A retrospective review of all patients who underwent CRS with or without HIPEC for CRPM from 2004 to 2019 at our institution was performed. The cohort was divided based on peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) at surgery: Low Volume (PCI ≤ 16) and High Volume (PCI > 16). RESULTS: A total of 326 patients underwent CRS with HIPEC for CRPM. There were 39 patients (12%) with High Volume disease, and 15 of these (38%) received NAC. Patients with High Volume disease had significantly longer operating time, lower likelihood of complete macroscopic cytoreduction (CC-0 score), longer intensive care unit length of stay and longer hospital stay compared to Low Volume disease. In High Volume disease, the NAC group had a significantly shorter median survival of 14.4 months compared to 23.8 months in the non-NAC group (p = 0.046). CONCLUSION: Patients with High Volume CRPM achieved good median survival following CRS with HIPEC, which challenges the current PCI threshold for offering CRS. The use of NAC in this cohort did not increase perioperative morbidity but was associated with significantly shorter median survival compared to upfront surgery.

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery and chemotherapy reportedly improve the prognosis of patients with metachronous peritoneal metastases. However, the types of peritoneal metastases indicated for cytoreductive surgery remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the category of cases for which cytoreductive surgery would be effective and report the prognosis associated with cytoreductive surgery for metachronous peritoneal metastases. METHODS: This study included 52 consecutive patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery for metachronous peritoneal metastases caused by colorectal cancer between January 2005 and December 2018 and fulfilled the selection criteria. The median follow-up period was 54.9 months. Relapse-free survival was calculated as the time from cytoreductive surgery of metachronous peritoneal metastases to recurrence. Overall survival was defined as the time from cytoreductive surgery of metachronous peritoneal metastases to death or the end of the follow-up period. RESULTS: The 5-year relapse-free survival rate was 30.0% and the 5-year overall survival rate was 72.3%. None of the patients underwent hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The analysis indicated no potential risk factors for 5-year relapse-free survival. However, for 5-year overall survival, the multivariate analysis revealed that time to diagnosis of metachronous peritoneal metastases of < 2 years after primary surgery (hazard ratio = 4.1, 95% confidence interval = 2.0-8.6, p = 0.0002) and number of metachronous peritoneal metastases ≥ 3 (hazard ratio = 9.8, 95% confidence interval = 2.3-42.3, p = 0.002) as independent factors associated with a poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS: Long intervals of more than 2 years after primary surgery and 2 or less metachronous peritoneal metastases were good selection criteria for cytoreductive surgery for metachronous peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer.

A spectrum of immune states resulting from tumor resident macrophages and T-lymphocytes in the solid tumor microenvironment correlates with patient outcomes. We hypothesized that in gastric cancer (GC), macrophages in a polarized immunosuppressive transcriptional state would be prognostic of poor survival. We derived transcriptomic signatures for M2 (M2TS, MRC1; MS4A4A; CD36; CCL13; CCL18; CCL23; SLC38A6; FGL2; FN1; MAF) and M1 (M1TS, CCR7; IL2RA; CXCL11; CCL19; CXCL10; PLA1A; PTX3) macrophages, and cytolytic T-lymphocytes (CTLTS, GZMA; GZMB; GZMH; GZMM; PRF1). Primary GC in a TCGA stomach cancer dataset was evaluated for signature expressions, and a log-rank test determined overall survival (OS) and the disease-free interval (DFI). In 341 TCGA GC entries, high M2TS expression was associated with histological types and later stages. Low M2TS expression was associated with significantly better 5-year OS and DFI. We validated M2TS in prospectively collected peritoneal fluid of a GC patient cohort (n = 28). Single-cell RNA sequencing was used for signature expression in CD68+CD163+ cells and the log-rank test compared OS. GC patients with high M2TS in CD68+CD163+ cells in their peritoneal fluid had significantly worse OS than those with low expression. Multivariate analyses confirmed M2TS was significantly and independently associated with survival. As an independent predictor of poor survival, M2TS may be prognostic in primary tumors and peritoneal fluid of GC patients.
