AI Article Synopsis

  • Anesthesiologists need to understand the specific goals of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion, along with the relevant chemotherapeutic drugs.
  • Successful management during these procedures requires navigating complex physiological changes, such as hyperthermia, abdominal pressure, and changes in heart function.
  • As these surgical techniques become more common, there is a need for more research to clarify the chemistry and effectiveness of treatment, which will guide better perioperative care.

Article Abstract

Anesthesiologists face several perioperative challenges when patients need cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion. To adequately care for these patients, anesthesiologists must understand the goals and objectives of the operation in addition to having a basic knowledge of the chemotherapeutic drugs that are frequently used. Optimal anesthetic management of patients treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion requires control of a complex interplay of physiologic mechanisms, including hyperthermia, abdominal hypertension, electrolyte abnormalities, coagulopathies, increased cardiac index, oxygen consumption, and decreased systemic vascular resistance. As this surgery continues to gain popularity among oncologic surgeons, further studies that clearly define the chemistry, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and end points of efficacy need to be performed to elucidate optimal perioperative management.

Objective: To provide up-to-date European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR) guidelines for staging and follow-up of patients with ovarian cancer (OC).

Methods: Twenty-one experts, members of the female pelvis imaging ESUR subcommittee from 19 institutions, replied to 2 rounds of questionnaires regarding imaging techniques and structured reporting used for pre-treatment evaluation of OC patients. The results of the survey were presented to the other authors during the group's annual meeting.

Evolution in the Surgical Management of Gastric Cancer Peritoneal Metastases.

Despite therapeutic treatments and the growing utilization of multimodal therapies, gastric cancer (GC) remains a highly aggressive malignancy with high mortality worldwide. Much of the complexity in treating GC is due to the high incidence of peritoneal metastasis (PM), with mean overall survival typically ranging from 4 to 10 months. With current systemic therapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies continuing to remain ineffective for GC/PM, there has been a significant growing interest in intraperitoneal (IP) therapies for the treatment of GC/PM.

Rationale: Peritoneal mucinous cystadenoma is rare in the clinic, lacks specific clinical manifestations, tumor markers, and imaging features, and is easily misdiagnosed and missed. Clinical practitioners should maintain a high level of vigilance. Here, we report a case of laparoscopic peritoneal mucinous cystadenoma stripping to improve our understanding of the disease.

Pleural extension of pseudomyxoma peritonei is rare, and treatment demands multidisciplinary care. Perioperative management during cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy challenges anesthesiology and surgical teams in unique ways. Hemodynamic, arrhythmogenic, ventilatory, fluid balance, acid-base, and nephroprotection issues are important considerations.
