RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Compare long-term outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) treated with peritonectomy/HIPEC using oxaliplatin versus MMC. BACKGROUND: Peritonectomy and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) greatly improves patient survival in CRC PC. This procedure is not uniform across centres and the optimal choice of HIPEC chemotherapeutic is unclear. Oxaliplatin and Mitomycin C (MMC) are the most commonly used agents and comparative studies have reported varying results. METHOD: 201 patients were retrospectively selected from the St George Hospital database, all of which had undergone peritonectomy/HIPEC for CRC PC. Oxaliplatin and MMC were used in 106 and 96 patients, respectively. Each patient's baseline characteristics, operative details, choice of chemotherapeutic agent and survival were noted. RESULTS: The two groups did not differ significantly at baseline. Patients receiving oxaliplatin had significantly greater unadjusted median survival compared to MMC (56.0 ± 8.1 vs. 29.0 ± 3.4 months) which translated into a hazards ratio of 0.59 (95% CI 0.37-0.91, p = 0.017). Subgroup analysis further confirmed an advantage with oxaliplatin in females, moderate-well differentiated tumours, tumours without signet ring pathology and PCI 10-15. CONCLUSION: Our study suggests oxaliplatin offers a survival advantage over MMC when used for HIPEC in CRC PC. Further studies to understand its efficacy, complications and ideal preparation are required. A Phase III randomised control trial comparing oxaliplatin and MMC would enhance decision-making.

PURPOSE: Emerging evidence suggests that hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) shows a survival benefit over CRS alone for patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC). This systematic review and meta-analysis will assess the safety and efficacy of HIPEC with CRS for EOC. DESIGN: Searches of five databases from inception to 17/02/15 was performed. Clinical outcomes were synthesised, with full tabulation of results. RESULTS: A total of 9 comparative studies and 28 studies examining HIPEC + CRS for primary and/or recurrent EOC were included. Meta-analysis of the comparative studies showed HIPEC + CRS + chemotherapy had significantly better 1-year survival compared with CRS + chemotherapy alone (OR: 3.76, 95% CI 1.81-7.82). The benefit of HIPEC + CRS continued for 2-, 3-, 4-, 5- and 8-year survival compared to CRS alone (OR: 2.76, 95% CI 1.71-4.26; OR: 5.04, 95% CI 3.24-7.85; OR: 3.51, 95% CI 2.00-6.17; OR: 3.46 95% CI 2.19-5.48; OR: 2.42, 95% 1.38-4.24, respectively). Morbidity and mortality rates were similar. Pooled analysis of all studies showed that among patients with primary EOC, the median, 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates are 46.1 months, 88.2%, 62.7% and 51%. For recurrent EOC, the median, 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival rates are 34.9 months, 88.6%, 64.8% and 46.3%. A step-wise positive correlation between completeness of cytoreduction and survival was found. CONCLUSION: The addition of HIPEC to CRS and chemotherapy improves overall survival rates for both primary and recurrent EOC.

OBJECTIVES: In older persons, the combination of osteoporosis and sarcopenia has been proposed as a subset of frailer individuals at higher risk of falls and fractures. However, the particular nutritional status of the sarco-osteoporotic (SOP) patients remains unknown. The goal of this study was to obtain a comprehensive picture of nutritional status in SOP patients. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING: Falls and Fractures Clinic, Nepean Hospital (Penrith, Australia). PARTICIPANTS: 680 subjects (mean age=79, 65% female) assessed between 2008-2013. MEASUREMENTS: Assessment included medical history, mini-nutritional assessment, physical examination, bone densitometry and body composition by DXA, and blood tests for nutritional status (albumin, creatinine, hemoglobin, vitamin D, vitamin B-12, calcium, phosphate and folate). Patients were divided in 4 groups: 1) osteopenia/osteoporosis (BMD<-1.0 SD); 2) sarcopenia; 3) SOP; and 4) normal (no sarcopenia/no osteoporosis). Difference between groups was assessed with one-way ANOVA and chi square analysis. Multivariable linear regression evaluated the association between the groups and measures of nutritional parameters. RESULTS: Sarcopenia was present in 47.4% of those with osteopenia (167/352) and 62.7% in those with osteoporosis (91/145). Mean age of the SOP was 80.4±7 years. SOP patients showed significantly higher prevalence of falls and fractures. Univariate analyses showed that SOP were more likely than normal to have a BMI< 25 (OR 2.42 95%CI 1.45-4.041, p<0.001), a MNA score <12 (OR 2.0, 95%CI 1.15-3.49, p<0.05), serum folate <20 nmol/L (OR 4.0 95%CI 1.35-11.87, p<0.01) and hemoglobin <120g/L (OR 2.0 95%CI 1.28-3.30, p<0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that a MNA score <12 was independently associated with SOP compared to normal when adjusted for age and gender. Hemoglobin <120g/L, BMI <25, and GDS >6 remained independently associated with SOP after adjustment for all variables including inflammatory conditions. Hypoalbuminemia (<35 g/L) was associated with just osteopenia/osteoporosis (OR: 2.03, 95%CI 1.08-3.81, p<0.01) and just sarcopenia (OR: 1.77, 95%CI 1.0-3.0, p<0.01) compared to normal. No differences in vitamin D, glomerular filtration rate, albumin, corrected calcium, phosphate, red blood cells folate or vitamin B12 levels were found between the subgroups. CONCLUSIONS: In approaching SOP patients, early prevention protocols directed to optimize their nutritional status would be a key strategy to prevent poor outcomes such as falls and fractures in this high risk population. Therefore, nutritional assessment and early nutritional supplementation should be essential domains in this strategy.
