Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis in Colorectal Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review of the Evidence.

Introduction: Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) consists of the administration of aerosolized chemotherapy into the abdominal cavity of patients suffering from peritoneal carcinomatosis. Our aim was to review the evidence supporting PIPAC in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer.

Methods: A systematic review was performed in accordance with the 2020 PRISMA guideline.

Three-dimensional virtual reality-assisted surgical planning for neuronavigated sacrectomy of a chordoma: a technical note.

Purpose: Sacral chordomas are slow growing but locally aggressive tumours with a high rate of local recurrence if not completely removed. Surgical resection with negative margins represents the most important survival predictor but it can be challenging to accomplish. Thanks to improvements in intraoperative imaging and surgical techniques, en bloc resection through a partial sacral resection with wide surgical margins has become feasible but it comes with a significant morbidity rate.
