Cytoreduction followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) improves survival in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin. Animal models are important in the evaluation of new treatment modalities. The purpose of this study was to devise an experimental setting which can be routinely used for the investigation of HIPEC in peritoneal carcinomatosis. A new peritoneal perfusion system in tumor bearing rats were tested. For this purpose CC531 colon carcinoma cells were implanted intraperitoneally in Wag/Rija rats. After 10 days of tumor growth the animals were randomized into three groups of six animals each: group 1: control (n = 6), group 2: HIPEC with mitomycin C in a concentration of 15 mg/m2 (n = 6), group III: mitomycin C i.p. as monotherapy in a concentration of 10 mg/m2 (n = 6). After 10 days, total tumor weight and the extent of tumor spread, as classified by the modified Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI), were assessed by autopsy of the animals. No postoperative

The Oncologist Clinical Pharmacology Update on Chemotherapeutic Agents Utilized for Perioperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy PAUL H. SUGARBAKER, a JORGE TORRES MORA, b PABLO CARMIGNANI, a O. ANTHONY

The SPRinT team sees patients with a wide spectrum of cancer types as peritoneal surface malignancies can arise from various organs. They can arise primarily from the peritoneum (e.g. mesothelioma, primary peritoneal cancer) or from the spread of a primary cancer (e.g. colorectal, appendix, stomach, ovary, hepatobiliary). Our team has extensive experience in treating these varieties of cancer from early to advanced stages. Previously regarded as fatal, peritoneal disease of all histological subtypes can now be successfully treated to achieve good outcomes for patients. Our multidisciplinary clinics offer a one-stop service for the evaluation and surgical management of these patients. In conjunction with our medical oncologists, we provide a comprehensive range of treatments for patients with peritoneal disease, including cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). The SPRinT team has been performing CRS and HIPEC since 2001 and currently, has one of the ...

Angiogenesis plays an important role in tumor growth and metastasis, therefore antiangiogenic therapy was widely investigated as a promising approach for cancer therapy. Recently, pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) has been shown to be the most potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have been intensively studied due to their wide tropisms, nonpathogenicity, and long-term transgene expression in vivo. The objective of this work was to evaluate the ability of AAV-mediated human PEDF (hPEDF) as a potent tumor suppressor and a potential candidate for cancer gene therapy. Recombinant AAV2 encoding hPEDF (rAAV2-hPEDF) was constructed and produced, and then was assigned for in vitro and in vivo experiments. Conditioned medium from cells infected with rAAV2-hPEDF was used for cell proliferation and tube formation tests of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Subsequently, colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis (CRPC) mouse model was established and treated with

Prognosis and treatment is the same as for the most common type of ovarian cancer, which is epithelial ovarian cancer.[5][6] The median survival of primary peritoneal carcinomas is usually shorter by 2-6 months time when compared with serous ovarian cancer. Studies show median survival varies between 11.3-17.8 months. One study reported 19-40 month median survival (95% CI) with a 5-year survival of 26.5%.[citation needed] Elevated albumin levels have been associated with a more favorable prognosis.[7] ...

This primary peritoneal carcinoma survivor says cancer has always been a constant in her family. Even from an early age, she always knew she was at risk.

Peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM) is a clinical entity with an unfavourable prognosis, which characterizes the evolution of neoplastic diseases from the abdominal and/or pelvic organs and could also be the terminal stage of extra-abdominal tumors. Examples of diseases that can spread mainly within the peritoneal cavity are appendiceal tumors, ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, abdominal sarcomatosis, gastric cancer and peritoneal mesothelioma. The locoregional therapy is defined as the combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion (IPHP). The rationale of this combined therapy for PSM is based on the natural history of this clinical entity that remains confined in the peritoneal cavity for most of its natural history. This pattern of spread would seem to indicate the potential usefulness of selectively increasing drug concentration in the tumour-bearing area by direct intraperitoneal chemotherapy instillation. This approach led to these outcomes: the ...

Abstract Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has shown promise in the treatment of ovarian carcinosis. Despite its efficiency for the treatment of peritoneal carcinosis from digestive tract neoplasia, it has failed to demonstrate significant benefit in ovarian cancers. It is therefore essential to understand the mechanism underlying the resistance to HIPEC in ovarian cancers. Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) play an important role in the development of ovarian cancer metastasis and resistance to treatments. A recent study suggests that MSCs may be cytotoxic for cancer cells upon heat shock. In contrast, we describe the protective role of MSC against hyperthermia. Using cytokine arrays we determined that tumor associated MSC (TAMC) secrete pro-tumoral cytokines. We studied the effect of hyperthermia in co-culture setting of TAMC or bone marrow derived-MSC (BM-MSC) associated with ovarian cancer cell lines (SKOV3 and CaOV3) with polyvariate flow cytometry. We demonstrate that hyperthermia does

The meta-analysis of data from 53 studies including 6,885 patients with stage III-IV epithelial ovarian cancer who underwent cytoreductive surgery followed by cisplatin or carboplatin-based chemotherapy showed that percent maximal cytoreduction was an independent prognostic variable for survival (P ,0.001) [2]. Each 10% increase in maximal cytoreduction was associated with a 5.5% increase in median survival. It is noteworthy that median survival time was 23.0 months for patients who had maximal cytoreductive surgery rate of 25% or less compared to 36.8 months for those in which maximal cytoreductive surgery was achieved in more than 75% of cases. The present study confirms that optimal surgical cytoreduction is the most important prognostic factor for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer [2-5, 7, 10, 17]. All attempts should be made to achieve complete cytoreduction, but when this result is not achievable, the surgical goal should be al least a residual disease , 1 cm [7]. Optimal cytoreduction ...

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether systemic chemotherapy is more effective with or without intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia in treating patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer.. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying systemic chemotherapy to see how well it works compared with or without intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia in treating patients undergoing surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer. ...

Patients diagnosed with colon cancer are staged as stage IV (M1B) if they have peritoneal metastases. A poor survival rate (11%) 5 years overall survival has been found for this stage of colon cancer [9]. Even a more conservative figures of poor survival rates for this stage of colon cancer have been published (5 years survival rates of 0 % and median survival rate of 6-8 months) [10,11]. One of the major prognostic factors of survival in patients with colon cancer and peritoneal metastases is extent of disease, which is shown clearly in many research articles [12]. So its prudent to treat those patients with maximal cytoreduction in addition to other treatment options like neoadjuvant, and adjuvant chemotherapy and HIPEC [13].. From review of current literature it seemed that the best treatment options for these patients is to attempts systemic treatment ( either preoperative, postoperative chemotherapy , or both) as seen by Passot G [7], and Kuijpers A et al.

According to the American Cancer Society, over 21,000 new cases of ovarian cancer are diagnosed each year with 15,000 more women dying annually. What are the recent developments in research to improve these odds?  Dr. Robert Bristow, the director of the Kelly Gynecologic Oncology Service and the Johns Hopkins Ovarian Cancer Center of Excellence, joins host Dr. Leslie Lundt to discuss the value of debulking surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is beneficial and tolerable, and physicians should present it as an option to women who have had successful cytoreductive surgery for their advanced epithelial ovarian cancer.

Peritoneal cancer is difficult to diagnose, especially because it often cannot be detected by radiological imaging. As a result, the incidence of peritoneal cancer has long been underestimated, and it was considered to be a very rare disease. Even today, the reported incidence rates of peritoneal cancer vary widely, but increasing awareness has led to increases in the reported incidence of peritoneal cancer in more recent studies. However, the true incidence is potentially higher because autopsy studies have found undetected peritoneal metastases in many cancer patients.. Malignant mesothelioma is a truly rare disease because it is diagnosed in approximately one to three patients per 1.000.000 persons per year. The disease is three times more common in men compared with women, and the risk of developing the disease increases with age. Malignant mesothelioma is mainly diagnosed in people who are 60 years and older, although younger patients have been described. The number of patients is ...

Despite progress in recent years towards the early detection of gastric cancer in the western country and Japan, most patients will already have advanced disease at diagnosis in our country. The majority of patients will die of recurrent disease, even if surgery is thought to be curative at the time.. Recent advances in preoperative diagnosis using ultrasonography or computed tomography provide much more information on peritoneal metastasis before operation. However, it is impossible to obtain information about small peritoneal metastasis preoperatively. Therefore, PWC must be performed in addition to macroscopic observation and palpation in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Therefore, cases positive for PWC are considered as peritoneal metastasis, according to the JCGC [10,11].. The prognostic value of positive cytology findings was recently confirmed also in the West, and a new stage classification for gastric carcinoma, recently published by Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, employs ...

Control of cellular metabolism is critical for efficient cell function, although little is known about the interplay between cell subset-specific metabolites in situ, especially in the tumor setting. Here, we determined how a macrophage-specific (Mϕ-specific) metabolite, itaconic acid, can regulate tumor progression in the peritoneum. We show that peritoneal tumors (B16 melanoma or ID8 ovarian carcinoma) elicited a fatty acid oxidation-mediated increase in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and glycolysis in peritoneal tissue-resident macrophages (pResMϕ). Unbiased metabolomics identified itaconic acid, the product of immune-responsive gene 1-mediated (Irg1-mediated) catabolism of mitochondrial cis-aconitate, among the most highly upregulated metabolites in pResMϕ of tumor-bearing mice. Administration of lentivirally encoded Irg1 shRNA significantly reduced peritoneal tumors. This resulted in reductions in OXPHOS and OXPHOS-driven production of ROS in pResMϕ and ROS-mediated MAPK activation ...

The mucin MUC16 and the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored glycoprotein mesothelin likely facilitate the peritoneal metastasis of ovarian tumors. The biochemical basis and the kinetics of the binding between these two glycoproteins are not clearly understood. Here we have addressed this deficit and provide further evidence supporting the role of the MUC16-mesothelin interaction in facilitating cell-cell binding under conditions that mimic the peritoneal environment. In this study we utilize recombinant-Fc tagged human mesothelin to measure the binding kinetics of this glycoprotein to MUC16 expressed on the ovarian tumor cell line OVCAR-3. OVCAR-3 derived sublines that did not express MUC16 showed no affinity for mesothelin. In a flow cytometry-based assay mesothelin binds with very high affinity to the MUC16 on the OVCAR-3 cells with an apparent Kd of 5-10 nM. Maximum interaction occurs within 5 mins of incubation of the recombinant mesothelin with the OVCAR-3 cells and significant binding is

Although women with stage I ovarian SBT have excellent prognoses, with a disease-free survival rate approaching 100%, at least 25% of patients with stages II, III, and IV ovarian SBT suffer relapse, and at least 10% die of disease (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) . These patients with stages II-IV SBT have peritoneal implants that are classified as either noninvasive or invasive. Noninvasive implants have an appearance similar to primary SBT. They are characterized by glandular or papillary proliferations with cell detachments; cellular atypia, psammoma bodies, and desmoplastic fibrosis may be present in some cases (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 , 11) . Invasive peritoneal implants are lesions similar to noninvasive implants but with epithelial cells infiltrating the surrounding stroma, singly or in clusters. They are characterized by irregular penetration of the underlying tissue (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10) . In our series (10 , 11) , invasive peritoneal implants were much less common than ...

Background: Peritoneal metastasis is a common and dismal evolution of several gastrointestinal (GI) tumors, including gastric, colorectal, hepatobiliary, pancreatic, and other cancers. The therapy of peritoneal metastasis is largely palliative; with the aim of prolonging life and preserving its quality. In the meantime, a significant pharmacological advantage of intraperitoneal chemotherapy was documented in the preclinical model, and numerous clinical studies have delivered promising clinical results. Methods: This is a prospective, open, randomized multicenter phase III clinical study with two arms that aims to evaluate the effects of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) combined with systemic chemotherapy vs. intravenous systemic chemotherapy alone on patients with metastatic upper GI tumors with a peritoneal seeding. Upper GI-adenocarcinomas originated from biliary tract, pancreas and stomach, or esophago- gastric junction are eligible. Patients in the study are treated ...

Aimes: In the past, diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) has been regarded as a terminal condition. The length of the survival was dependent upon the aggressive versus indolent biology of the neoplasm, nevertheless cure was not considered as a reasonable expectation and the overall median survival was approximately one year. Methods: A comprehensive literature review and a collection of pertinent data published on DMPM from the Washington Cancer Institute were used to construct this report. Results: Recent publications from Bethesda MD, New York, Milan Italy, Lyon France and Washington DC have shown a remarkable prolongation in the median survival of this group of patients with approximately half the patients alive at 5years. These prolonged survivors were treated with an intensive local-regional treatment strategy that included cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with peritonectomy and hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIIC) and some patients with early postoperative ...

The imaging method called positron emission tomography (PET) using the radioactive tracer molecule 18F-FDG is a valuable way to both diagnose and track the progression of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Nuclear medicine researchers at a Hospital in Barcelona, Spain reviewed the diagnostic and treatment records of 60 people with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, a form of mesothelioma that spreads on the membrane lining the walls of the abdomen. The study subjects included 34 women and 26 men with a mean age of 53. All the patients in the study had had multiple 18-F-FDG-PET scans to diagnose or track their cancer. Eleven of the studied patients had an FDG-PET scan prior to receiving treatment. In all cases, the scans showed characteristic mesothelioma disease … Continue reading Tracking Mesothelioma with FDG-PET » ...

Introduction: Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare malignancy of the mesothelial cells in the peritoneum. The best-defined risk factor is asbestos exposure, but germline mutations in BAP1 also increase susceptibility to this tumor. The diagnosis of MPM is challenging since clinical manifestations are often nonspecific. Case Presentation: We describe a case of MPM in a 53-year-old former construction worker with prior asbestos exposure. The clinical presentation was a 3-month history of dyspeptic complaints. As initial workup, abdominal ultrasound and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy were performed. Chronic gastritis due to Helicobacter pylori was detected, which was promptly treated but without symptom relief. Abdominal ...

To meet the needs of patients, Canadian surgical and medical oncology leaders in the treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies (psms), together with patient representatives, formed the Canadian HIPEC Collaborative Group (chicg). The group is dedicated to standardizing and improving the treatment of psm in Canada so that access to treatment and, ultimately, the prognosis of Canadian patients with psm are improved.. Patients with resectable psm arising from colorectal or appendiceal neoplasms should be reviewed by a multidisciplinary team including surgeons and medical oncologists with experience in treating patients with psm. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy should be offered to appropriately selected patients and performed at experienced centres.. The aim of this publication is to present guidelines that we recommend be applied across the country for the treatment of psm.. ...

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is an appropriate treatment for select patients with peritoneal carcinomat

Given its rarity, there are no established guidelines for the treatment of peritoneal mesothelioma. The modern approach to malignant peritoneal mesothelioma includes cytoreductive surgery,[10] hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and intravenous chemotherapy.[11] These are often used in conjunction and in a complementary fashion, and this multifaceted approach has significantly improved outcomes when compared to intravenous chemotherapy alone. For instance, the reported median survival time for patients with stage IV mesothelioma as reported by the American Cancer Society is 12 months;[12] however, with adequate cytoreduction, intraperitoneal, and intravenous chemotherapy combined, some authors report 10-year survival rates projected at nearly 75%.[13]. Multiple factors have been shown to be significant in predicting the outcome and overall survival. Age greater than 60 at surgery, more overall disease burden (defined as a PCI greater than 15), ...

Abstract: Advancements in medical technology coupled with a more thorough comprehension of oncologic diseases has resulted in a burgeoning number of aggressive treatment options available to cancer patients and a gradual loosening of the association between cancer and timely death. With the advent of extended life expectancies, however, the need to investigate the human and overall life impact of cancer diseases and treatments has increased dramatically (Langenhoff et al., 2001). This need to examine considerations of quality of life becomes even more essential in the context of high-risk treatments, such as cytoreductive surgery plus hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CS+HIPEC), an extensive procedure offered to select candidates with peritoneal carcinomatosis from a variety of primary origins (Levine et al., 2007). A biopsychosocial model of research and clinical care (e.g. Wilson & Cleary, 1995) underscores the many levels and interrelationships of clinical, demographic, and ...

CASE REPORT: We present a case of low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm with peritoneal dissemination, in which single-port laparoscopic approach of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy was completed through a 5.5-cm incision. A 35-year-old man with no medical illness underwent laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis 3 months earlier. Postoperative surgical pathology reported a low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm with positive margin. After complete assessment and Tumor Board discussion, the patient was scheduled for cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. A single gel port access was inserted through a 5.5-cm peri-umbilical incision. The Peritoneal Cancer Index score was 4, and the decision was made to proceed with partial cecectomy, omentectomy, peritonectomy, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with the Sugarbaker mitomycin C-based regimen. Postoperative care was carried out following the Enhanced Recovery ...

BACKGROUND: Peritonectomy with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has shown a survival benefit in selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. This prospective non-randomized study was designed to identify factors associated with postoperative morbidity and survival after peritonectomy HIPEC in patients with this condition. METHOD: Data were prospectively collected from all patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis treated by means of peritonectomy and HIPEC at Uppsala University Hospital between October 2003 and September 2006. Depending on the primary tumor, mitomycin C or a platinum compound was used as a chemotherapeutic agent for perfusion. RESULTS: A total of 103 patients were treated. Primary tumors were pseudomyxoma peritonei (47 patients), colorectal cancer (38 patients), gastric cancer (6 patients), ovarian cancer (6 patients) and mesothelioma (5 patients). Postoperative morbidity was 56.3% and was significantly lower in patients treated with mitomycin C for pseudomyxoma ...

Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) defined as removal of macroscopic abdominal and peritoneal disease, combined with hyperthermic perioperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) is the treatment indicated for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) and appendiceal neoplasms with peritoneal metastases.. CRS and HIPEC should now be considered as the standard of care for selected patients with peritoneal mesothelioma and moderate to small volume peritoneal metastases secondary to colorectal cancer.. Patients who have ovarian or advanced peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer may profit from this strategy but additional evidence should be generated from ongoing collaborative studies at experienced treatment centers.. Further evaluation of neo-adjuvant intraperitoneal, systemic chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC is required for patients with peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer.. CRS and HIPEC should be avoided in patients who are unlikely to undergo a complete or near-complete resection, or - due to ...

Notwithstanding the way that a growing number of tumor bosses have created as treatment pioneers for peritoneal afflictions starting late, the total number of specialists stays little. If there are no peritoneal experts contiguous, you may need to look for one in a neighboring state.. Treatment choices for peritoneal mesothelioma consolidate surgery, chemotherapy, radiation treatment and mix treatment. Masters think joining standard prescriptions routinely works better than any single treatment. A blend of one or more prescriptions is called multimodal treatment. Research exhibits that a multimodal treatment approach ordinarily offers the best change similarly as survival.. The most promising treatment for peritoneal mesothelioma may be warmed intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), a multimodal treatment that joins surgery and warmed chemotherapy. While experts simply give HIPEC on a case-by-case premise, it has exhibited awesome results for select patients with respect to intensified survival ...

The procedure of diagnosing peritoneal mesothelioma is like that of different sorts. It begins with a careful examination of your medicinal history, word related history, and general physical condition, trailed by a progression of tests including imaging sweeps and biopsies.. Make sure to say any history of asbestos presentation, regardless of the fact that your specialists neglect to inquire. Its essential to share everything about can incorporated, the dates the episodes happened and the length and span of the exposures. This data will caution your specialists about the likelihood of an asbestos-related sickness and offer them some assistance with determining the suitable next steps.. Since this growth is so uncommon, specialists who need involvement with the ailment frequently misdiagnose mesothelioma patients with more regular diseases who have comparative side effects - a genuine error that defers legitimate treatment. Peritoneal mesothelioma manifestations like stomach swelling, weight ...

HIPEC is an aggressive, novel surgical treatment reserved for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. It combines extensive removal of cancers, known as surgical cytoreduction, with the intraoperative introduction of chemotherapeutic drugs into the peritoneal cavity at a temperature several degress above normal body temperature. The abdominal cavity is perfused for about 90 minutes, thereby exposing potential microscopic residual cancer cells directly to the synergistic effects of hyperthermia (heat), and cytotoxic agents.. HIPEC is resource-intensive and requires extraordinary surgical and multidisciplinary cooperation. As such, only a few centers nationwide offer patients this option. The Feist-Weiller Cancer Center is the only cancer center in Louisiana that offers HIPEC presently.. HIPEC is used to treat the following types of cancers in its advanced and recurrent stages:. ...

There are about 3,000 new cases of mesothelioma each year in the U.S., and only about 300 of those are peritoneal mesothelioma, which forms in the lining of the abdomen. Most cases of mesothelioma result decades after exposure to asbestos or radiation therapy. But in rare cases, young patients who have never been exposed to either risk factor are diagnosed with the disease. One such case led Chirieac and his colleagues to their unexpected finding.. This was a serendipitous discovery. We had a young patient with peritoneal mesothelioma that was difficult to diagnose. We extended our molecular diagnostics to test for a genetic rearrangement that had been reported in lymphoma and lung cancer, but never in mesothelioma. When it came back positive, we were intrigued, said first author Yin (Rex) Hung, MD, PhD, the Corson Thoracic Pathology Fellow in the Department of Pathology at BWH and HMS.. Hung and Chirieac collaborated with other physicians and scientists at BWH and Massachusetts General ...

Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a malignancy characterized by dissemination of mucus-secreting cells throughout the peritoneum. This disease is associated with significant morbidity and mortality and despite effective treatment options for early-stage disease, patients with PMP often relapse. Thus, there is a need for additional treatment options to reduce relapse rate and increase long-term survival. A previous study identified the presence of both typed and non-culturable bacteria associated with PMP tissue and determined that increased bacterial density was associated with more severe disease. These findings highlighted the possible role for bacteria in PMP disease. To more clearly define the bacterial communities associated with PMP disease, we employed a sequenced-based analysis to profile the bacterial populations found in PMP tumor and mucin tissue in 11 patients. Sequencing data were confirmed by in situ hybridization at multiple taxonomic depths and by culturing. A pilot clinical study was

Aims and objectives.To study patients descriptions of their health after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) before discharge.. Background. Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) affects the patients recovery. The hospital stay is long, and it is important to study how patients experience their health postoperatively.. Design. Qualitative descriptive design.. Methods. Between January-May 2012, individual interviews were conducted with 20 patients in a university hospital in cen- tral Sweden using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis.. Results. Three themes (a process, body and mind, and support) and nine categories emerged. The surgery was described as a turning point, followed by a period of hope and thankfulness. Nevertheless, patients had difficulty taking in their positive feelings because they were overwhelmed by their bodily ailments. Despite the patients descriptions of being on an emotional roller ...

Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare disease, but worldwide there has been increasing experience with treatment with CRS with IPC, with good long-term outcome.11,12,24-26 In this article, we presented our early experience with the technique, not only for patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei, but also for a small series of patients with adenocarcinoid of the appendix, malignant mesothelioma and metastatic colon, gastric and ovarian cancer.. Traditionally, CRS with IPC has been considered a morbid, expensive and time-consuming procedure. The potential for multiple major visceral resections and peritonectomy procedures, long operating times and intensive post-operative care has led to criticisms regarding the safety, cost effectiveness and general acceptance of the technique.27-30 Overcoming these issues at our own institution has therefore required a significant collaborative effort between administrative, nursing, medical and allied health staff. At the present time, our experience with CRS with IPC ...
