Treatment of recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer with secondary cytoreduction and continuous intraoperative intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion (CIIPHCP).

Objective: Evaluation of the combined effect of secondary cytoreduction and continuous intraoperative intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion (CIIPHCP), in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer, in a phase II clinical study.

Material And Methods: Twenty consecutive, heavily pre-treated patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, were treated with a combination of cytoreductive surgery and CIIPHCP. All patients had extended peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Continuous Intraoperative Intraperitoneal Hyperthermic Chemoperfusion (CIIPHCP) in the treatment of advanced stage and recurrent granulosa cell tumors. Report of two cases.

Background: Treatment of advanced stages and recurrent ovarian granulosa cell tumors, has not been established yet. The effectiveness of radiation therapy could not be proven. Systemic chemotherapy has shown promising results, but with severe side effects and high incidence of relapse.
