A 31-year-old man with a big epigastric mass from pancreas body was completely removed by distal pancreatectomy and segmental gastrectomy. Two years after oral administration of S-1 for 4 courses, peritoneal dissemination on the right subdiaphragmatic space was detected. Laparotomy revealed white colored round nodules were found scattered on the peritoneal surface, and the peritoneal cancer index(PCI)was 18.

COMPT involves the complete removal of macroscopic tumors(cytoreductive surgery: CRS) and eradication of micrometastasis(MM)with neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NAC)plus intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy(HIPEC). This article provides a rationale for curative COMPT.

The structure of the peritoneum was studied by a double-enzyme staining method using alkaline-phosphatase and 5'-nucreotidase, scanning electron microscopy, and immunohistological methods. The fundamental structure consists of three layers, mesothelial cells and a basement membrane (layer 1), macula cribriformis (MC) (layer 2), and submesothelial connective tissue containing blood vessels and initial lymphatic vessels, attached to holes in the MC (layer 3).

However, little has been reported on characteristics and clinical course of long-term survivors with CRC-PM beyond 5 years. The objective of this study was to identify the clinical and oncological features affecting long-term survival of CRC-PM after comprehensive treatment.

Patients with peritoneal metastasis (PM) of SRC have a poor prognosis, and this subtype is frequently considered as a contra-indication for extensive surgical treatment. This retrospective study from two dedicated peritoneal surface malignancy centers in Japan included all patients treated with CRS ± hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) between July 1994 and December 2017 from a prospectively maintained database.

Conventional Tumor bulking has been associated with recurrence of 45-50 %. Hence a comprehensive treatment with Complete cytoreductive surgery with involved field peritonectomy (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is being increasingly adopted for MCPM.

Complete Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic intraperitoneal perfusion is the contemporary standard of care for PMP. A novel treatment approach with Intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy has been developed for patients with disease not amenable for complete cytoreduction.

The present study demonstrated the efficacies of the treatment regarding the peritoneal sectors and organs involved with PM from CRC.
Materials And Methods: Among 365 patients received laparotomy, 278 CRC patients with PM underwent complete cytoreductive surgery(CC-0).
Unlabelled: The present study demonstrated prognostic factors for long-term survival in patients after a comprehensive treatment (CHT) for peritoneal metastasis (PM) from gastric cancer (GC).
Materials And Methods: Among 419 patients treated with neoadjuvant intraperitoneal/systemic chemotherapy (NIPS), 266 (63.5%) patients received complete resection (CC-0) of the macroscopic tumors.
Introduction: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are treatment to deal with peritoneal dissemination that has excellent result for various cancer especially pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), mesothelioma. For now, this combination of treatment is still running for pancreatic adenocarcinoma but no description for pancreatic cystic tumor like malignant Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN).
Presentation Of Cases: We report 3 cases of malignant IPMN with peritoneal dissemination that treated with CRS and HIPEC.
Background And Objectives: The current standard of treatment for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma(MPM)is cytoreductive surgery(CRS)plus perioperative intraperitoneal or systemic chemotherapy(comprehensive treatment), The present study was performed to clarify the prognostic factors of PMP after comprehensive treatment.
Methods: Among 63 patients with MPM, male and female patients were 34 and 29. CRSwas performed in 47 patients and complete cytoreduction(CC-0) was performed in 14(22%)patients.
Background And Objectives: Treatment failure after complete cytoreduction for appendiceal mucinous carcinoma peritonei (AMCP)has not been fully investigated. The present study was performed to clarify the risk factor for recurrence after complete cytoreduction for AMCP.
Methods: A total of 400 patients with AMCP who underwent complete cytoreductive surgery combined with perioperative chemotherapy were investigated.

After L-HIPEC + NIPS, the PCI score was decreased in 89.5 per cent of patients, and the average score was significantly reduced.

From the early 1990s, however, a new comprehensive treatment consisting of cytoreductive surgery and perioperative chemotherapy has been established to improve long-term survival for selected patients with PM. Among prognostic indicators after the treatment, completeness of cytoreduction is the most independent predictors of survival.

The present study was performed to clarify the risk factors for recurrence after complete cytoreduction for CRC with PM and the role of repeat surgery for recurrence.
Materials And Methods: A total of 205 patients with CRC who underwent complete cytoreductive surgery combined with perioperative chemotherapy were investigated.
Background: The Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) is the most important prognostic factor following comprehensive treatment for peritoneal metastasis (PM) from gastric cancer (GCPM); however, 70 % of patients with GCPM showed a PCI score above the cut-off level at the time of diagnosis. Furthermore, neoadjuvant chemotherapy may reduce the PCI score to lower than the cut-off levels. In this study, the effects of neoadjuvant laparoscopic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (NLHIPEC) and neoadjuvant intraperitoneal/systemic chemotherapy (NIPS) were investigated.

Background: The value of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in fluorescence detection of peritoneal metastases and the underlying mechanisms were evaluated in patients with peritoneal surface malignancies.
Materials And Methods: Oral 5-ALA was administered at a concentration of 20 mg ⁄kg body weight with 50 ml of water 2 hours prior to surgery (n=115). The diagnostic value of 5-ALA based fluorescence production was evaluated following white light inspection during prior to cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
Background: Peritoneal dissemination is a frequent pattern of recurrence and metastasis of small bowel malignancy (SBM). However, the survival of patients with peritoneal dissemination from SBM is not clear, and there is no consensus on the treatment for it.
Patients And Methods: A total of 31 selected patients with peritoneal dissemination from SBM were treated by cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) between January 2006 and January 2014.
Background: We investigated the efficacy of postoperative analgesia in peritonectomy for patients with peritoneal surface malignancy, by comparing peripheral nerve block (PNB) with intravenous patient controlled analgesia (iv-PCA) group to patient controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) group.
Methods: Forty one patients of PNB+iv-PCA group received ultrasound guided rectus sheath block (using 0.25% levobupivacaine 20 ml bilaterally) and posterior transversus abdominis plane block (30 ml bilaterally) after induction of anesthesia.
