Differences in patient- and tumor characteristics, treatment and survival between patients with screen-detected versus clinically detected colorectal peritoneal metastases.

Introduction: Screening for colorectal cancer has been implemented to improve cancer-specific survival. This study aims to compare patient- and tumor characteristics, treatment, and survival between patients with screen-detected and clinically detected synchronous colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM) in a Dutch population-based cohort.

Methods: Data from the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR) were used.

Reclassification of Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasms and Associated Pseudomyxoma Peritonei According to the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International Consensus: Clinicopathological Reflections of a Two-Center Cohort Study.

Background: International consensus on classifications of appendiceal mucinous neoplasms (AMNs) and associated pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) have been carefully made but clinicopathological associations supporting decision making remain scarce.

Objective: This study aimed to assess interdependence between AMNs and PMP and provide directions for clinical management.

Methods: This two-center retrospective cohort study reviewed patients with PMP treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy between 2005 and 2021.

Exploring the incidence of dysplasia or adenocarcinoma in early onset Barrett's esophagus.

Background: Currently data on the risk of progression to and lifetime risk of cancer are not available for patients with young onset Barrett's esophagus (BE). Our aim was to obtain epidemiologic data on the incidence of dysplasia or adenocarcinoma in young onset BE in the Netherlands by collecting data on all histologically confirmed cases over a prolonged period of 25 years between January 1, 1991 and December 31, 2015.

Methods: Data were obtained from the Dutch National Pathology Registry.

First-line palliative systemic therapy alternated with oxaliplatin-based pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy for unresectable colorectal peritoneal metastases: A single-arm phase II trial (CRC-PIPAC-II).

Background: Palliative systemic therapy alternated with electrostatic precipitation oxaliplatin-based pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (ePIPAC) has never been prospectively investigated in patients with unresectable colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM). The CRC-PIPAC-II study aimed to assess safety, feasibility and efficacy of such bidirectional therapy.

Methods: This two-center, single-arm, phase II trial enrolled chemotherapy-naïve patients to undergo three treatment cycles, consisting of systemic therapy (CAPOX, FOLFOX, FOLFIRI, or FOLFOXIRI, all with bevacizumab) and oxaliplatin-based ePIPAC (92 mg/m) with intravenous leucovorin (20 mg/m) and 5-fluorouracil (400 mg/m).
