Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma: An In-Depth and Up-to-Date Review of Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, Management and Future Directions.

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is an extremely rare malignancy usually confined to the abdominal cavity. With an aggressive natural history, morbidity and mortality are consequences of progressive locoregional effects within the peritoneal cavity. The first reported case was in the early 20th century, however, due to the rare nature of the disease and a large gap in understanding of the clinicopathological effects, the next reported MPM cases were only published half a decade later.

Overall survival and morbidity are not associated with advanced age for cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy: a single centre experience.

Objectives: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) has enabled better prognosis for patients with peritoneal surface malignancies. However, in older age groups, short -and long-term outcomes are still perceived as poor. We evaluated patients aged 70 and over and determine if age is a predictor of morbidity, mortality and overall survival (OS).

A case of rare gastric metastasis of invasive lobular carcinoma of the breast.

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer diagnosed among women worldwide. It significantly contributes to cancer-related mortality in females. Early-stage breast cancers have a high cure rate.

Appendiceal endosalpingiosis: a case report of a rare finding from appendicectomy.

Endosalpingiosis is occasionally incidentally found on histopathologic examination of gynecologic or gastrointestinal specimen, most commonly in the ovary, fallopian tube, omentum and uterus. Recently an association between endosalpingiosis and, ovarian and uterine cancer has been described. Here, we describe a rare case of appendiceal endosalpingiosis mimicking appendicitis.

Cytoreductive Surgery and HIPEC for Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma: Outcomes and Survival From an Australian Centre.

Background/aim: The aim of the study was to determine outcomes and overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM).

Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study from a prospectively maintained database of patients that underwent CRS/HIPEC for MPM from April 1999 to December 2021.

Results: A total of 81 patients were identified with MPM.

Acute Kidney Injury Following Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy With Cisplatin.

Background/aim: Cisplatin increases the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) during systemic chemotherapy. However, little is known about its risk of inducing AKI when used during intraperitoneal chemotherapy. This study aimed to determine the incidence of AKI in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cisplatin.

Impact of signet ring cells on overall survival in peritoneal disseminated appendix cancer treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Introduction: To determine the effect of signet ring cell (SRC) histopathology in appendix cancer with peritoneal dissemination on overall survival (OS) in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).

Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study from a prospectively maintained database of patients that underwent CRS/HIPEC for appendix cancer from April 1999 to December 2019.

Results: 255 patients were identified.
