Abstract Background A treatment option for patients with peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA) from an appendiceal neoplasm is cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Also, these are recommended systemic chemotherapy using oxaliplatin 5‐fluorouracil (FOLFOX) regimen. major question concerns the proper timing (neoadjuvant vs. adjuvant) of Methods In January 2005 a prospective study was initiated to routinely treat dissemination adenocarcinoma appendix...

Background and Objectives. Systemic chemotherapy administered prior to cytoreductive surgery hyperthermic intraperitoneal (HIPEC) for peritoneal mucinous adenocarcinoma of appendiceal origin (PMCA) is associated with a significant rate histological response. The impact preoperative systemic (PSC) on tumor burden, completeness cytoreduction, perioperative complications unknown. Methods. We analyzed prospectively collected data from our HIPEC database. Thirty-four patients PMCA were recruited...

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare and poorly understood malignant condition characterized by the accumulation of intra-abdominal mucin produced from peritoneal metastases. Currently, cytoreductive surgery remains mainstay treatment but disease recurrence death after relapse frequently occur in patients with PMP. New therapeutic strategies are therefore urgently needed for these patients.

Background: PA is frequent in CRC patients and known to be detrimental surgical outcomes. PBM systems promote rational use of blood products treatment with IVI, which could potentially improve postoperative results the need for RBCT. Objective: To evaluate effectiveness Intravenous Iron (IVI) within a Patient Blood Management (PBM) pathway Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Preoperative Anemia (PA). analyze after Red Cell Transfusion (RBCT) surgery.

Abstract Background Peritonectomy combined with perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a successful treatment option for patients peritoneal dissemination of appendiceal and colorectal malignancy. Despite its efficacy, recurrences remain common problem. Methods Patients from or malignancy who underwent complete cytoreduction were included in this study. Data regarding recurrent disease found on abdominal exploration and/or diagnostic studies was extracted prospective database...

Currently, the surgical management of pancreas cancer is recognized around world as inadequate. Despite a potentially curative R0 resection, long-term survival rare. There strong rationale for use chemotherapy in operating room to reduce local-regional recurrent/progressive disease. Gemcitabine monotherapy administered by an intraperitoneal route with hyperthermia and then treatment postoperatively has pharmacologic basis that exposure peritoneal surfaces gemcitabine approximately 200–500...

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with heated intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has emerged as optimal treatment for diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) showing median survivals of 36-92 months. However, recurrences occur frequently even in patients undergoing cytreduction and are often confined to the abdomen. We initiated a Phase II study adjuvant pemetrexed combined intravenous cisplatin CRS HIPEC DMPM. The consisted 500 mg/m(2) intraperitoneally 50 intravenously...

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been established as treatment options for patients with peritoneal metastases or mesothelioma. However, this novel strategy remains associated a large percentage of local-regional failures. These failures are attributed to the inadequacy HIPEC maintain surgical complete response. Management strategies supplement CRS indicated. A simplified approach intraoperative placement an port adjuvant bidirectional...
