Hipec Gastric Cancer

BACKGROUND: Peritoneal metastasis (PM) is the most common site of dissemination of gastric cancer (GC) and is associated with a poor prognosis. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for GC with PM remains controversial due to modest survival and significant morbidity. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with GC and PM treated with CRS and HIPEC with cisplatin and paclitaxel for 90 min from June 2019 to December 2022...

Patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM) from gastric cancer (GC) have a poor prognosis. Surgery or systemic treatment alone hardly improves the prognosis and overall survival (OS). A newly developed comprehensive treatment involving a combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been used to treat patients with PM from GC. The Peritoneal Dissemination Center of Kishiwada Tokushukai Hospital in Japan has been committed to treating patients with PM from GC...

Peritoneal metastasis is the most common pattern of synchronous and metachronous dissemination in gastric cancer (GC) and is associated with a poor prognosis. Even though systemic chemotherapy is the standard of care, the optimal therapeutic approach to peritoneal disease in this setting is yet to be defined. We present a case of a 26-year-old female diagnosed with locally advanced GC who developed peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). The patient underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) along with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with complete remission...

Objective: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) on elderly patients diagnosed with locally advanced gastric cancer based on a propensity score matching analysis. Methods: Clinical data of elderly patients with locally advanced gastric cancer who underwent radical gastrectomy in Beijing Hospital from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively collected. According to whether HIPEC was used, the patients were divided into HIPEC group (radical gastrectomy combined with HIPEC) and control group (radical gastrectomy alone), and 29 patients in HIPEC group and 122 patients in control group...

PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy of prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). METHODS: We included 198 patients treated from December 2016 to January 2019; of these patients, the 132 who had clinical T4 gastric cancer were divided into a hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy group (HIPEC group) and a radical gastrectomy and D2 lymph node dissection group (control group). Because this study was retrospective, we used propensity score matching (PSM) to reduce selectivity bias; we then assessed risk factors for recurrence and compared prognosis in terms of survival in the gastrectomy and prophylactic HIPEC groups...

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal administration of chemotherapy (HIPEC) increases local drug concentrations and reduces systemic side effects associated with prolonged adjuvant intraperitoneal exposure in patients affected by either peritoneal malignancies or metastatic diseases originating from gastric, colon, kidney, and ovarian primary tumors. Mechanistically, the anticancer effects of HIPEC have been poorly explored. Herein we documented that HIPEC treatment promoted miR-145-5p expression paired with a significant downregulation of its oncogenic target genes c-MYC, EGFR, OCT4, and MUC1 in a pilot cohort of patients with ovarian peritoneal metastatic lesions...

BACKGROUND: Ovarian metastasis from gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by aggressive biological behavior and poor outcome. Currently, there is no standard treatment mode for such patients. Thus, we evaluated the efficacy of conversion therapy in patients with synchronous ovarian metastasis from GC in this study. METHODS: About 219 GC patients with ovarian metastasis in 2011-2020 were enrolled. Two groups were established based on the different treatment: the conversion therapy group (chemotherapy combined with surgical resection, CS group) and the non-conversion therapy group (NCS group)...

Comprehensive treatment comprising neoadjuvant laparoscopic HIPEC (L-HIPEC) and bidirectional intraperitoneal and systemic induction chemotherapy (BISIC) followed by cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) has been developed. However, its benefits and patient selection criteria have not been thoroughly investigated. We retrospectively reviewed 113 patients, with 25 having received comprehensive treatment (L-HIPEC, BISIC, and then CRS-HIPEC; the BISIC group) and 88 having received direct CRS-HIPEC (the CRS group)...

BACKGROUND: Currently, there is a lack of an effective strategy for the prevention of peritoneal metastasis (PM) from locally advanced gastric cancer (AGC). This randomized-controlled study aimed to evaluate the outcome of D2 radical resection with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) plus systemic chemotherapy versus systemic chemotherapy alone in locally AGC patients. METHODS: All enrolled patients were randomly assigned to receive HIPEC plus systemic chemotherapy (HIPEC group) or systemic chemotherapy alone (non-HIPEC group) after radical gastrectomy...

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer has a poor prognosis and involves metastasis to the peritoneum in over 40% of patients. The optimal treatment modalities have not been established for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (GC/PC). Although studies have reported favourable prognostic factors, these have yet to be incorporated into treatment guidelines. Hence, our review aims to appraise the latest diagnostic and treatment developments in managing GC/PC. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Review, and Scopus databases...

To maximize the results of treatments for peritoneal metastases for rare abdominal or pelvic tumors, selection of patients with a possibility for long-term success is necessary. Because these malignancies are rare, data from which these selection factors can be extracted do not exist. In order to facilitate knowledgeable patient selection for treatment, the well established clinical and histopathologic features of the common malignancies treated for peritoneal metastases were reviewed. The potential application of selection factors for common diagnoses was explored in an attempt to provide selection factors for rare tumors...

INTRODUCTION: Treatment of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (PSM) with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has achieved results never seen before in these patients, which classically have a poor prognosis. The possibility of conducting clinical trials in these diseases is complicated, since some of them are rare, so the analysis of large databases provides very valuable scientific information. The aim of this study is to analyze the global results of the National Registry of the Spanish Group of Peritoneal Oncologic Surgery (REGECOP), whose objective is to register all patients scheduled for HIPEC nationwide...

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of multidisciplinary treatment for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) who underwent radical gastrectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing the effectiveness of surgery alone, adjuvant chemotherapy (CT), adjuvant radiotherapy (RT), adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT), neoadjuvant CT, neoadjuvant RT, neoadjuvant CRT, perioperative CT and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for LAGC were searched...

BACKGROUND: Advanced gastric cancer with synchronous peritoneal metastases (GC-PM) is associated with a poor prognosis. Although cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is a promising approach, only a limited number of Western studies exist. AIM: To investigate the clinicopathological outcomes of patients who underwent CRS-HIPEC for GC-PM. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of patients with GC-PM was conducted...

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of laparoscopic hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion chemotherapy combined with intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy (HIPEC-IP-IV) in the treatment of peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer (GCPM). Methods: This was a descriptive case series study. Indications for HIPEC-IP-IV treatment include: (1) pathologically confirmed gastric or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma; (2) age 20-85 years; (3) peritoneal metastases as the sole form of Stage IV disease, confirmed by computed tomography, laparoscopic exploration, ascites or peritoneal lavage fluid cytology; and (4) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1...

Peritoneal metastasis is one of the most frequent patterns of metastasis in gastric cancer, and remains a major unmet clinical problem. Thus, systemic chemotherapy remains the mainstay of treatment for gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis. In well-selected patients, the reasonable combination of cytoreductive surgery, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and neoadjuvant intraperitoneal chemotherapy with systemic chemotherapy will bring significant survival benefits to patients with gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis...

BACKGROUND: Around 5-20% of patients who undergo surgery for advanced gastric cancer (AGC), which invades into the muscularis propria or beyond, have peritoneal carcinomatosis. The peritoneal recurrence rate is 10-54%, which is associated with a poor prognosis. The role of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in AGC with and without peritoneal carcinomatosis is not clearly defined. METHODS: The authors conducted a meta-analysis, in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines, of the clinical trials and high-quality nonrandomized studies evaluating the role of HIPEC in AGC over the last 10 years...

BACKGROUND: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) produces unwanted side-effects that are mainly caused by chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, and these effects have not been systematically summarized. The aim of this article was to provide a comprehensive overview of the side-effects of HIPEC for GI cancers and propose practical strategies for adverse event management. METHODOLOGY: PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched for side-effects of HIPEC in GI cancers prior to October 20, 2022...

BACKGROUND: The peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) secondary to gastrointestinal or gynecological cancer has increased its incidence. It has a worse prognosis compared to other sites of metastasis. The peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) establishes overall survival in patients with gastrointestinal or gynecological tumors and carcinomatosis. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship of PCI to overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC)...
