Currently, Ovarian Cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynecological malignancy. In most patients, it progresses without clinical signs or symptoms, leading to a late diagnosis when it has already spread in the peritoneal cavity as peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). To date, OC PC management is based on cytoreductive surgery to remove the macroscopic disease, followed by chemotherapy.

Despite the incremental improvement of survival with systemic therapy in metastatic gastric cancer (GC), the outcomes of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) remain poor. The limited effectiveness of systemic therapy is attributed to the blood-peritoneal barrier and anarchic intra-tumoral circulation, which reduce the penetration of systemic therapy. Approaches that incorporate intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy, in addition to systemic therapies, may be a viable alternate strategy.

Introduction: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy for ovarian cancer treatment has controversial benefits as most methodologies are associated with significant morbidity. We carried out a systematic review to compare tumor response, measured by tumor weight and volume, between intraperitoneal chemotherapy delivered via drug delivery systems (DDSs) and free intraperitoneal chemotherapy in animal models of ovarian cancer. The secondary aim was to assess the toxicity of DDS-delivered chemotherapy, based on changes in animal body weight.

Advancements in cancer care have significantly extended the life expectancy of rectal cancer patients and the impact of treatment-related toxicity on long-term quality of life has become a crucial factor in determining the most suitable type of neoadjuvant therapy, particularly for patients who are likely to undergo surgery. While radiotherapy has traditionally been regarded as the cornerstone for achieving improved local control in rectal cancer, it is accompanied by a range of associated complications, including bowel and bladder dysfunction, gonadal ablation, and Low Anterior Resection Syndrome. De-escalation of treatment is undoubtedly beneficial for many patients, and this approach should be tailored to consider their expectations while prioritizing patient care in decision-making.
