Cytoreductive Surgery in Combination with HIPEC in the Treatment of Peritoneal Sarcomatosis.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an effective treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis, but it has been debated for peritoneal sarcomatosis. The purpose of the study is the presentation of perioperative and long-term results of CRS and hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal sarcomatosis. Retrospective study in a prospectively maintained database of 20 patients that underwent 29 CRS + HIPEC for peritoneal sarcomatosis.

Cytoreduction and HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis of pancreatic cancer.

Purpose: Peritoneal carcinomatosis of pancreatic cancer is generally considered for palliative treatment. The purpose of this study was to report the outcome of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with pancreatic cancer and peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Methods: Patients with documented resectable peritoneal carcinomatosis of pancreatic cancer underwent cytoreductive surgery in combination with HIPEC from 2008-2016 by the same surgical team.

Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitenoal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for colorectal and appendiceal carcinomas with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Purpose: Cytoreductive surgery combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been established as the standard treatment for selected patients with peritoneal malignancy. The purpose of the study was the presentation of the 10- year experience with cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal and appendiceal origin.

Methods: Clinical and histopathological variables were retrospectively reviewed in a prospectively maintained database.

Preliminary results of hyperthermic intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy as an adjuvant in resectable pancreatic cancer.

Background and Aims. 5-year survival in patients with pancreatic cancer is poor. Surgical resection is the only potentially curative resection.

Multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma.

Background: Multicystic peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare disease. It is not certain if it is a benign or a borderline tumor. Although many therapeutic approaches have been used, complete cytoreductive surgery in combination with hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy has gained acceptance.
