RESUMEN
Peritoneal recurrence (PR) in gastric cancer after curative resection has poor prognosis. Therefore, we aimed to construct a nomogram to predict PR, and establish PR score for risk stratification to guide adjuvant chemotherapy. A total of 315 patients with gastric cancer after radical surgery were included, and randomly stratified into training group (n = 221) and validation group (n = 94). Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to determine predictive factors of PR. The nomogram was constructed to predict the risk of PR. We utilized the time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUCs), calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) to evaluate the performance of the nomogram. Multivariate analysis showed that tumor site, N stage, preoperative CEA, and postoperative CA199 were independent predictors of PR. A nomogram was constructed to predict PR based on these factors. The AUC value was 0.755 in the training group and 0.715 in the validation group. The calibration curves showed good agreement between prediction and observation in the training and validation groups. The decision curve analysis displayed a good net benefit of the nomogram. The novel PR score was developed and patients were stratified into the low-, medium-, and high -risk groups. For the high-risk group, postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy significantly improved patients' overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The establishment of nomogram facilitates the prediction of PR after radical gastrectomy, and a novel PR score may help guide adjuvant chemotherapy for gastric cancer.

Although several studies have been completed to investigate the effect of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in endometrial cancer with peritoneal metastasis (ECPM), a direct comparison was not performed previously. A meta-analysis was performed to investigate the suspected additional survival benefits of CRS plus HIPEC over CRS only. Twenty-one and ten studies with a total number of 1116 and 152 cases investigating CRS only and CRS plus HIPEC were identified, respectively. When all articles were analyzed, the 1-year survival rate was 17.60% higher for CRS plus HIPEC (82.28% vs. 64.68%; p = 0.0102). The same tendency was observed for the 2-year (56.07% vs. 36.95%; difference: 19.12%; p = 0.0014), but not for the 5-year (21.88% vs. 16.45%; difference: 5.43%; p = 0.3918) survival rates. The same clinical significance, but statistically less strong observations, could be made if only the studies published after 2010 were investigated (1-year survival rate: 12.08% and p = 0.0648; 2-year survival rate: 10.90% and p = 0.0988). CRS remains one of the core elements of ECPM treatment, but the addition of HIPEC to CRS can increase the positive clinical outcome, especially in the first 2 years.

PURPOSE: Gastric cancer treated with curative resection exhibits several recurrence patterns. The peritoneum is the most common site of recurrence. Some reports have indicated different prognostic influences according to the recurrence sites in other cancers, such as esophageal and colorectal cancers. This study investigated whether the recurrence sites influenced the prognosis of patients with recurrent gastric cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The data of 115 patients who experienced tumor recurrence after curative gastrectomy were retrospectively reviewed. The sites of recurrence were divided into 4 groups: lymph node (LN), peritoneum, other single organs, and multiple lesions. Clinicopathological features were compared between the sites of recurrence. Prognosis after resection and recurrence were also compared. RESULTS: The peritoneum was the primary site of recurrence in 38 patients (33%). The tumor differentiation and pathological stages were significantly different. Survival after surgery did not show a statistically significant difference (hazard ratio [HR] of LN: 1, peritoneum: 1.083, other single organs: 1.025, and multiple lesions: 1.058; P=1.00). Survival after recurrence was significantly different (HR of LN, 1; peritoneum, 2.164; other single organs, 1.092; multiple lesions, 1.554; P=0.01), and patients with peritoneal and multiple lesion recurrences had worse prognosis. Furthermore, peritoneal recurrence seemed to occur later than that at other sites; the median times to recurrence in LN, peritoneal, other single-organ, and multiple lesions were 265, 722, 372, and 325 days, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The sites of gastric cancer recurrence may have different prognostic effects. Peritoneal recurrence may be less sensitive to chemotherapy and occur during the late phase of recurrence.

BACKGROUND: Palliative systemic treatment is currently standard of care for metastatic gastric cancer. However, patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric origin are often underrepresented in clinical studies due to unmeasurable radiologic disease. This study describes the systemic treatment strategies and outcomes in patients with peritoneal metastases in a nationwide real-world setting. METHODS: Patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and synchronous peritoneal metastases (with or without other metastases) diagnosed in the Netherlands between 2015 and 2020 were identified from the nationwide Netherlands Cancer Registry. Median overall survival (OS) and time-to-treatment failure were determined and multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to compare treatment groups, corrected for relevant tumor and patient characteristics. RESULTS: In total, 1,972 patients were included, of whom 842 (43%) were treated with palliative systemic therapy. The majority received capecitabine + oxaliplatin (CAPOX; 44%), followed by fluorouracil/leucovorin/oxaliplatin (FOLFOX; 19%), and epirubicin + capecitabine + oxaliplatin (EOX; 8%). Of the 99 (45%) patients who received second-line systemic treatment, ramucirumab + paclitaxel were administered most frequently (63%). After adjustment for sex, age, comorbidities, performance status, tumor location, Lauren classification, and the presence of metastases outside of the peritoneum, patients treated with a triplet containing docetaxel and those treated with a regimen containing trastuzumab had a significantly longer OS compared with patients treated with a doublet containing a fluoropyrimidine derivate + oxaliplatin (hazard ratio [HR], 0.69; 95% CI, 0.52-0.91, and HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.51-0.91, respectively). Monotherapy was associated with a shorter OS (HR, 2.08, 95% CI, 1.53-2.83). CONCLUSIONS: There is substantial heterogeneity in systemic treatment choices in patients with gastric cancer and peritoneal metastases in the Netherlands. In this study, patients treated with triplets containing docetaxel and with trastuzumab-containing regimens survived longer than patients who received doublet therapy. Despite this, median OS for all treatment groups remained below one year.

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.

Gastric cancer (GC) with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) has a particularly unfavorable prognosis. This limited survival raises doubts about which factors confer an extremely worse outcome and which patients could benefit from more aggressive treatments, in an attempt to improve survival and better control the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the survival outcomes of patients with PC due to GC and develop a prognostic score to predict 6-month mortality. We performed an analysis of clinical stage IV GC with PC. Scores were assigned to risk factors and calculated for each patient from nine variables. Among 326 IVB GC, 211 (64.7%) had PC and were included. After calculating the score, 136 (64.5%) GCs were classified as a low-risk group and 75 (35.5%) as a high-risk group. Median OS was 7.9 and 1.9 months for low- and high-risk patients (p < 0.001). In the high-risk group, 77.3% of the patients died in <6 mo (p < 0.001). Palliative surgery and chemotherapy were associated with better survival, and the prognostic groups maintained statistical significance even when the same type of treatment was performed. In conclusion, the scoring system developed with variables related to patient performance status and clinical data was able to distinguish GC with PC with a high risk of 6-month mortality. Accordingly, verifying and validating our findings in a large cohort of patients is necessary to confirm and guarantee the external validation of the results.

INTRODUCTION: The safety and efficacy of CRS + HIPEC combined with urinary tract resection and reconstruction are controversial. This study aims to summarize the clinicopathological features and to evaluate the safety and survival prognosis of CRS + HIPEC combined with urinary tract resection and reconstruction. METHODS: The patients who underwent urinary tract resection and reconstruction as part of CRS surgery were retrospectively selected from our disease-specific database for analysis. The clinicopathological characteristics, treatment-related variables, perioperative adverse events (AEs), and survival outcomes were studied using a descriptive approach and the K-M analysis with log-rank comparison. RESULTS: Forty-nine patients were enrolled. Perioperative serious AEs (SAEs) were observed in 11 patients (22.4%), with urinary SAEs occurring in 3 patients (6.1%). Additionally, there were 23 cases (46.8%) involving urinary adverse events (UAEs). The median overall survival (OS) in the entire cohort was 59.2 (95%CI: 42.1-76.4) months. The median OS of the UAE group and No-UAE group were 59.2 months (95%CI not reached), and 50.5 (95%CI: 11.5 to 89.6) months, respectively, with no significant difference (P = 0.475). Furthermore, there were no significant differences in OS based on the grade of UAEs or the number of UAEs (P = 0.562 and P = 0.622, respectively). CONCLUSION: The combination of CRS + HIPEC with urinary tract resection and reconstruction is associated with a high incidence of Grade I-II UAEs, which do not have an impact on OS. The safety profile of this combined technique is acceptable. However, this is a retrospective single-center single-arm analysis, with limitations of generalizability and potential selection bias. The findings need high-level validation.

OBJECTIVES: In Italy, asbestos was used intensively until its ban in 1992, which was extended for asbestos cement factories until 1994. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dose-response between asbestos exposure and asbestosis mortality across a pool of Italian occupational cohorts, taking into account the presence of competing risks. METHODS: Cohorts were followed for vital status and the cause of death was ascertained by a linkage with mortality registers. Cause-specific (CS) Cox-regression models were used to evaluate the dose-exposure relationship between asbestosis mortality and the time-dependent cumulative exposure index (CEI) to asbestos. Fine and Gray regression models were computed to assess the effect of competing risks of death. RESULTS: The cohort included 12,963 asbestos cement workers. During the follow-up period (1960-2012), of a total of 6961 deaths, we observed 416 deaths attributed to asbestosis, 879 to lung cancer, 400 to primary pleural cancer, 135 to peritoneal cancer, and 1825 to diseases of the circulatory system. The CS model showed a strong association between CEI and asbestosis mortality. Dose-response models estimated an increasing trend in mortality even below a CEI of 25 ff/mL-years. Lung cancer and circulatory diseases were the main competing causes of death. CONCLUSIONS: Asbestos exposure among Italian asbestos-cement workers has led to a very high number of deaths from asbestosis and asbestos-related diseases. The increasing risk trend associated with excess deaths, even at low exposure levels, suggests that the proposed limit values would not have been adequate to prevent disability and mortality from asbestosis.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest forms of cancer and peritoneal dissemination is one major cause for this poor prognosis. Exosomes have emerged as promising biomarkers for gastrointestinal cancers and can be found in all kinds of bodily fluids, also in peritoneal fluid (PF). This is a unique sample due to its closeness to gastrointestinal malignancies. The receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 1 (ROR1) has been identified as a potential biomarker in human cancers and represents a promising target for an immunotherapy approach, which could be considered for future treatment strategies. Here we prospectively analyzed the exosomal surface protein ROR1 (exo-ROR1) in PF in localized PDAC patients (PER-) on the one hand and peritoneal disseminated tumor stages (PER+) on the other hand followed by the correlation of exo-ROR1 with clinical-pathological parameters. Methods: Exosomes were isolated from PF and plasma samples of non-cancerous (NC) (n = 15), chronic pancreatitis (CP) (n = 4), localized PDAC (PER-) (n = 18) and peritoneal disseminated PDAC (PER+) (n = 9) patients and the surface protein ROR1 was detected via FACS analysis. Additionally, soluble ROR1 in PF was analyzed. ROR1 expression in tissue was investigated using western blots (WB), qPCR, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Exosome isolation was proven by Nano Tracking Analysis (NTA), WB, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and BCA protein assay. The results were correlated with clinical data and survival analysis was performed. Results: PDAC (PER+) patients have the highest exo-ROR1 values in PF and can be discriminated from NC (p <0.0001), PDAC (PER-) (p <0.0001), and CP (p = 0.0112). PDAC (PER-) can be discriminated from NC (p = 0.0003). In plasma, exo-ROR1 is not able to distinguish between the groups. While there is no expression of ROR1 in the exocrine pancreatic tissue, PDAC and peritoneal metastasis show expression of ROR1. High exo-ROR1 expression in PF is associated with lower overall survival (p = 0.0482). Conclusion: With exo-ROR1 in PF we found a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker possibly discriminating between NC, PDAC (PER-) and PDAC (PER+) and might shed light on future diagnostic and therapeutic concepts in PDAC.

BACKGROUND: This study investigated predictive factors for patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer (PMGC) who underwent conversion cytoreductive surgery (C-CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) after responding to induction chemotherapy (laparoscopic HIPEC [LHIPEC]) followed by concomitant systemic and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (bidirectional intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy [BIC]). METHODS: Diagnostic laparoscopy was performed for 62 patients with PMGC between January 2017 and December 2022. The patients underwent LHIPEC and BIC induction chemotherapy using intraperitoneal docetaxel (30 mg/m2) and cisplatin (30 mg/m2), and intravenous chemotherapy for three cycles. The predictive parameters for progression-free and overall survival were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses. The optimal cutoff values for Ki-67 parameters were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. RESULTS: The study retrospectively examined 36 (58 %) of 62 patients who responded to induction therapy and underwent C-CRS or HIPEC. A Ki-67 index lower than 10 (p = 0.000), lymph node involvement (LNI) less than 2 (p = 0.039), and an omental lesion size score lower than 0.5 cm (p = 0.002) were predictive of recurrence-free and overall survival in addition to completeness of cytoreduction and the peritoneal cancer index. Cox regression analysis showed that the independent factors associated with recurrence-free survival were decreased Ki-67 expression (≥10 % vs <10 %) (hazard ratio [HR] 4.7; 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.6-5.210; p = 0.020) and LNI higher than 2 (HR 1.92; 95% CIS 0.923-4.0; p = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS: Lymph node involvement and decreased Ki-67 expression are independent predictive factors of recurrence-free survival for patients with PMGC after induction chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the demographic," clinicopathologic, and prognostic characteristics of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM), as well as the treatment options for the rare and heterogeneous MPeM population. METHODS: A retrospective multi-center observational cohort study was conducted to evaluate patients with MPeM. Due to the heterogeneity of the study population, the study divided them into two main groups in terms of treatments, follow-up periods, and prognostic features. The first group comprised the patients who underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and the second group included the patients with metastatic disease for whom curative intent surgery was not possible. The patients' diagnostic procedures and treatments were identified from medical records. Patients older than 18 years old were included in the study regardless of asbestos exposure. Well-differentiated papillary and multicystic mesothelioma histologic types were not included in the study. RESULTS: The study evaluated 118 patients from five centers. Survival times, prognosis, and treatment responses were analyzed in both groups. The study showed that CRS-HIPEC was associated with longer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Perioperative therapy was evaluated in subgroup analyses of this population and shown to provide survival benefits. The patients treated with chemotherapy (metastatic and medically inoperable patients and those for whom complete cytoreduction was not achievable) had a poorer prognosis than the surgery group. The study showed that life expectancy decreased significantly for the patients not suitable to undergo surgery for any reason. CONCLUSIONS: According to data from experienced centers, CRS-HIPEC is a treatment option recognized as effective, cost-effective, and safe, with better OS and PFS , as well as low morbidity and mortality rates similar to those in the literature. In addition, the platinum-pemetrexed combination continues to be an effective and acceptable treatment option for metastatic patients, those who are medically inoperable, and those for whom complete or near-complete cytoreduction is not achievable.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The standard of care for treatment of an appendiceal mucinous neoplasm with peritoneal dissemination is cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). These two treatments are combined in the operating room. A crucial requirement for benefit long-term is proper patient selection. Clinical and histopathologic prognostic indicators are used, along with the patient's fitness for surgery, to select patients to receive CRS and HIPEC. METHODS: This study seeks to identify the reliable prognostic indicators for four different groups of patients. They are (1) the low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (LAMN) with a complete CRS, (2) the mucinous appendiceal adenocarcinomas (MACA) with complete CRS, (3) MACA with lymph node metastases (MACA-LN) with complete CRS, and (4) all histologic subtypes with incomplete cytoreduction. The prognostic indicators were evaluated for their impact on overall survival in these four groups of patients. RESULTS: The completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score statistically significantly showed survival differences in all three histologic subtypes. The peritoneal cancer index (PCI) showed significance with LAMN and MACA-LN but not with MACA and not with incomplete CRS. The prior surgical score (PSS) was a prognostic indicator that predicted the outcome with LAMN, MACA-LN, and incomplete CRS patients but not with the MACA group. Patients who were symptomatic or who had extensive systemic chemotherapy before CRS had a significantly reduced survival. CONCLUSION: The utility of prognostic indicators varied greatly within our four different groups of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms. CC score was always a reliable prognosticator. Surprisingly, PCI was not.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to evaluate factors to predict positive peritoneal cytology, whcih would determine the indication for staging laparoscopy in pancreatic cancer. METHODS: A total of 430 patients that underwent pancreatectomy for resectable and borderline resectable pancreatic cancer were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS: Among 430 patients, 36 had positive cytology (8.4%). Median survival time in negative cytology was 24.7 months, compared with 15.1 months in positive cytology (p = .004). Factors to predict positive cytology in pancreatic cancer according to multivariate analysis were tumor location (body, tail; OR 2.66; 95% CI: 1.21-5.85; p = .015), tumor size ≥30 mm (OR 2.95; 95% CI: 1.35-6.47; p = .007) and radiographic other-organ invasion (HR 2.79; 95% CI: 1.01-7.67; p = .047). Patients were scored 0 to 3 corresponding with these factors. Rates of positive cytology increases in each score were: score 0: 2.9%, score 1: 6.7%, score 2: 18.3%, score 3: 36.8%. CONCLUSIONS: Tumor location (body or tail), tumor size ≥30 mm, and radiographic other-organ invasions were risk factors for positive cytology in pancreatic cancer. This scoring system might be a useful indicator to perform staging laparoscopy to diagnose positive cytology.

BACKGROUND: In gastric cancer, peritoneal metastasis is the most common form of metastasis and leads to dismal prognosis. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining perioperative intraperitoneal (IP) plus systemic chemotherapy, cytoreductive surgery (CRS), and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for patients with gastric cancer with limited peritoneal metastasis or even after reducing peritoneal tumor burden by upfront IP chemotherapy. METHOD: Patients were enrolled in phase Ib in a 3 + 3 dose escalation of IP paclitaxel plus a fixed dose of IP cisplatin and oral S-1. In phase II, patients were managed according to the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) by diagnostic laparoscopy. For patients with a PCI of >12, upfront IP and systemic chemotherapy were given. Patients with a PCI of ≤12 or reduced to ≤12 after upfront chemotherapy underwent CRS with HIPEC. The primary endpoints were safety and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) confirmation for phase Ib and the 1-year overall survival rate for phase II. RESULTS: The RP2D was defined as IP 175 mg/m2 paclitaxel and 60 mg/m2 cisplatin and oral 70 mg/m2/day S-1 for 14 days. A total of 22 patients were included. After CRS with HIPEC, there were no grade 3 or higher complications. The median hospital stay was 7 days (range, 6-11). The median overall and progression-free survival were 27.3 months (95% CI, 14.4 to not estimable) and 12.6 months (95% CI, 7.7-14.5), respectively. One-year overall and progression-free survival rates were 81.0% (95% CI, 65.8-99.6) and 54.5% (95% CI, 37.2-79.9), respectively. CONCLUSION: A combination of IP plus systemic chemotherapy, CRS, and HIPEC was safe and resulted in good survival outcomes.

The objective of this study was to analyze the expression and prognostic role of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP) in mesothelioma. MTAP protein expression by immunohistochemistry was analyzed in 113 mesotheliomas (60 pleural and 53 peritoneal), consisting of 36 effusions and 77 surgical specimens. MTAP expression was fully lost in 38 tumors and partially lost in 8 tumors. Loss of expression was significantly more common in effusions compared with biopsies/surgical resection specimens (20/36 vs. 26/77; P =0.017), and in pleural compared with peritoneal mesotheliomas (35/60 vs. 11/53; P <0.001). MTAP performed less robustly than BAP1 in comparative analysis of 57 tumors previously analyzed for expression of the latter protein (46 vs. 25 cases with loss of expression). In survival analysis for 69 patients with partial clinical data, male gender was significantly associated with shorter overall survival (OS; P =0.042), whereas loss of MTAP was associated with a trend for shorter OS ( P =0.058), with no prognostic role for patient age ( P =0.379) or anatomic site ( P =0.381). The association between loss of MTAP and poor OS became significant when survival analysis was limited to patients with pleural mesothelioma ( P =0.018). In conclusion, loss of MTAP expression is more frequent in pleural compared with peritoneal mesothelioma and has limited diagnostic relevance at the latter anatomic site. More frequent loss in effusion specimens suggests a role for this marker in effusion cytology. MTAP loss in pleural mesothelioma is associated with poor survival.

BACKGROUND: This study evaluated the efficacy of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases (pmCRC) in a large international data set of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with pmCRC from 39 centres who underwent cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC between 1991 and 2018 were selected and compared for the HIPEC protocols received-oxaliplatin-HIPEC versus mitomycin-HIPEC. Following analysis of crude data, propensity-score matching (PSM) and Cox-proportional hazard modelling were performed. Outcomes of interest were overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS) and the HIPEC dose-response effects (high versus low dose, dose intensification and double drug protocols) on OS, RFS and 90-day morbidity. Furthermore, the impact of the treatment time period was assessed. RESULTS: Of 2760 patients, 2093 patients were included. Median OS was 43 months (95% c.i. 41 to 46 months) with a median RFS of 12 months (95% c.i. 12 to 13 months). The oxaliplatin-HIPEC group had an OS of 47 months (95% c.i. 42 to 53 months) versus 39 months (95% c.i. 36 to 43 months) in the mitomycin-HIPEC group (P = 0.002), aHR 0.77, 95% c.i. 0.67 to 0.90, P < 0.001. The OS benefit persisted after PSM of the oxaliplatin-HIPEC group and mitomycin-HIPEC group (48 months (95% c.i. 42 to 59 months) versus 40 months (95% c.i. 37 to 44 months)), P < 0.001, aHR 0.78 (95% c.i. 0.65 to 0.94), P = 0.009. Similarly, matched RFS was significantly higher for oxaliplatin-HIPEC versus others (13 months (95% c.i. 12 to 15 months) versus 11 months (95% c.i. 10 to 12 months, P = 0.02)). High-dose mitomycin-HIPEC protocols had similar OS compared to oxaliplatin-HIPEC. HIPEC dose intensification within each protocol resulted in improved survival. Oxaliplatin + irinotecan-HIPEC resulted in the most improved OS (61 months (95% c.i. 51 to 101 months)). Ninety-day mortality in both crude and PSM analysis was worse for mitomycin-HIPEC. There was no change in treatment effect depending on the analysed time period. CONCLUSIONS: Oxaliplatin-based HIPEC provided better outcomes compared to mitomycin-based HIPEC. High-dose mitomycin-HIPEC was similar to oxaliplatin-HIPEC. The 90-day mortality difference favours the oxaliplatin-HIPEC group. A trend for dose-response between low- and high-dose HIPEC was reported.

INTRODUCTION: Biliary spillage (BS) is a common complication following initial cholecystectomy for gall bladder cancer (GBC). Few studies have explored the importance of BS as a long-term prognostic factor. We perform a meta-analysis of the association between BS and survival in GBC. METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed in February 2023. Studies evaluating the incidence of BS and its association with long-term outcomes in patients undergoing initial laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy for either incidental or resectable GBC were included. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and rate of peritoneal carcinomatosis (RPC) were the primary end points. Forest plot analyses were used to calculate the pooled hazard ratios (HRs) of OS, DFS, and RPC. Metaregression was used to evaluate study-level association between BS and perioperative risk factors. RESULTS: Of 181 published articles, 11 met inclusion criteria with a sample size of 1116 patients. The rate of BS ranged between 9% and 67%. On pooled analysis, BS was associated with worse OS (HR = 1.68, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.32-2.14), DFS (pooled HR= 2.19, 95% CI = 1.30-3.68), and higher RPC (odds ratio = 9.37, 95% CI = 3.49-25.2). The rate of BS was not associated with higher T stage, lymph node metastasis, higher grade, positive margin status, reresection, or conversion rates. CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis shows that BS is a predictor of higher peritoneal recurrence and poor survival in GBC. BS was not associated with tumor characteristics or conversion rates. Further research is needed to identify other potential risk factors for BS and investigate the ideal treatment schedule to improve survival.

BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma with peritoneal metastasis (HCC-PM) has a poor outlook. Traditional treatments have limited effect on survival. The safety and efficacy of cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) have been shown in other peritoneal cancers. This study evaluates the role of CRS + HIPEC in HCC-PM. METHODS: A retrospective analysis of HCC-PM patients treated with CRS + HIPEC at Beijing Shijitan Hospital from March 2017 to December 2023 was conducted, assessing clinical features, severe adverse events (SAEs), and overall survival (OS) rates. RESULTS: The study population comprised 10 HCC-PM patients who underwent CRS + HIPEC. The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 25, and complete cytoreduction (CC0 ~ 1) was achieved in half of the patients. Three patients experienced SAEs within 30 days postoperatively. The 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year OS rates were recorded as 89.0%, 89.0%, and 21.0% respectively, with a median OS1 of 107.8 months and OS2 of 49.9 months. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.0 months. CONCLUSION: The application of CRS + HIPEC offers significant benefits to patients with HCC-PM. A selected group of patients may achieve prolonged PFS. Incorporating CRS + HIPEC into the treatment paradigm can thus be considered a strategic therapeutic option for patients with HCC-PM.

BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastases is associated with a dismal prognosis. Normothermic catheter-based intraperitoneal chemotherapy and normothermic pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) are methods to deliver chemotherapy intraperitoneally leading to higher intraperitoneal concentrations of cytotoxic drugs compared to intravenous administration. We reviewed the effectiveness and safety of different methods of palliative intraperitoneal chemotherapy. METHODS: Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science and Cochrane were searched for articles studying the use of repeated administration of palliative intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with gastric cancer and peritoneal metastases, published up to January 2024. The primary outcome was overall survival. RESULTS: Twenty-three studies were included, representing a total of 999 patients. The pooled median overall survival was 14.5 months. The pooled hazard ratio of the two RCTs using intraperitoneal paclitaxel and docetaxel favoured the intraperitoneal chemotherapy arm. The median overall survival of intraperitoneal paclitaxel, intraperitoneal docetaxel and PIPAC with cisplatin and doxorubicin were respectively 18.4 months, 13.2 months and 9.0 months. All treatment methods had a relatively safe toxicity profile. Conversion surgery after completion of intraperitoneal therapy was performed in 16% of the patients. CONCLUSIONS: Repeated intraperitoneal chemotherapy, regardless of method of administration, is safe for patients with gastric cancer and peritoneal metastases. Conversion surgery after completion of the intraperitoneal chemotherapy is possible in a subset of patients.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate if time to start chemotherapy (TTC) after primary debulking surgery (PDS) impacted relative survival (RS) in advanced epithelial ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancer (EOC). METHODS: Nationwide population-based study of women with EOC FIGO stages IIIC-IV, registered 2008-2018 in the Swedish Quality Register for Gynecologic Cancer, treated with PDS and chemotherapy. TTC was categorized into; ≤21 days, 22-28 days, 29-35 days, 36-42 days and > 42 days. Relative survival (RS) was estimated using the Pohar-Perme estimate of net survival. Multivariable analyses of excess mortality rate ratios (EMRRs) were estimated by Poisson regression models. RESULTS: In total, 1694 women were included. The median age was 65.0 years. Older age and no residual disease were more common in TTC >42 days than 0-21 days. The RS at 5-years was 37.9% and did not differ between TTC groups. In the R0 (no residual disease) cohort (n = 806), 2-year RS was higher in TTC ≤21 days (91.6%) and 22-28 days (91.4%) than TTC >42 days (79.1%). TTC >42 days (EMRR 2.33, p = 0.026), FIGO stage IV (EMRR 1.83, p = 0.007) and non-serous histology (EMRR 4.20, p < 0.001) were associated with 2-year worse excess mortality compared to TTC 0-21 days, in the R0 cohort. TTC was associated with 2-year survival in the R0 cohort in FIGO stage IV but not in stage IIIC. TTC was not associated with RS in patients with residual disease. CONCLUSIONS: For the entire cohort, stage IV, non-serous morphology and residual disease, but not TTC, influenced 5-year relative survival. However, longer TTC was associated with a poorer 2-year survival for those without residual disease after PDS.
