BACKGROUND: We developed a novel drug delivery system called hyperthermic pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (HPIPAC) that hybridized Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC). The present study aims to assess the feasibility and safety of HPIPAC system in a large animal survival model. METHODS: Eleven pigs (eight non-survival models and three survival models) were used in the experiment...

INTRODUCTION: The treatment of peritoneal malignancies has evolved and select patients can undergo effective surgical therapies. Access to innovative oncology procedures can be improved if programs are developed within and outside of academic cancer centers. We report the creation of a high volume, comprehensive peritoneal malignancy program developed in a community center. METHODS: A retrospective single-site study was conducted using registry data comprising all patients who underwent Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Heated Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) between October 2011-December 2021...

This case involves a 53-year-old male who was diagnosed with stenotic ascending colon cancer and peritoneal metastatic deposits. He was initially planned for cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS and HIPEC), along with resection of the primary tumor in the form of right hemicolectomy. Intraoperatively, the disease was found to be more extensive than anticipated. Consequently, the plan was modified to include debulking right hemicolectomy with hand-sewn ileocolic anastomosis and extensive peritoneal procedures...

INTRODUCTION: Peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) present a significant clinical challenge with poor prognosis, often unresponsive to systemic chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a treatment approach for select patients. The use of curcumin, a natural compound with antitumor properties, in HIPEC is of interest due to its lower side effects compared to conventional drugs and potential for increased efficacy through direct delivery to the peritoneal cavity...

PURPOSE: Despite advances in systemic therapy, outcomes of patients with gastric cancer (GC) peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) remain poor, in part because of poor penetrance of systemic therapy into peritoneal metastasis due to the plasma-peritoneal barrier and anarchic intra-tumoral circulation. Hence, regional treatment approach with administration of chemotherapy directly into the peritoneal cavity (intraperitoneal, IP) under various conditions, combined with or without cytoreductive surgery (CRS) has remained an area of significant research interest...

For tumors wherein cancer cells remain in the tissue after colorectal cancer surgery, a hyperthermic anticancer agent is injected into the abdominal cavity to necrotize the remaining cancer cells with heat using a hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy system. However, during circulation, the processing temperature is out of range and the processing result is deteriorated. This paper proposes a look-up table (LUT) module design method that can stably maintain the processing temperature range during circulation via feedback...

Combining hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with cytoreductive surgery is the main treatment modality for peritoneal metastatic (PM) carcinoma despite the off-target effects of chemotherapy drugs and the ineluctable side effects of total abdominal heating. Herein, a laser-integrated magnetic actuation system that actively delivers doxorubicin (DOX)-grafted magnetic nanorobot collectives to the tumor site in model mice for local hyperthermia and chemotherapy is reported. With intraluminal movements controlled by a torque-force hybrid magnetic field, these magnetic nanorobots gather at a fixed point coinciding with the position of the localization laser, moving upward against gravity over a long distance and targeting tumor sites under ultrasound imaging guidance...

BACKGROUND: Gallbladder cancer (GC) is a common malignant tumor and one of the leading causes of cancer-related death worldwide. It is typically highly invasive, difficult to detect in the early stages, and has poor treatment outcomes, resulting in high mortality rates. The available treatment options for GC are relatively limited. One emerging treatment modality is hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). HIPEC involves delivering heated chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity...

Appendiceal mucinous lesions' classification and nomenclature has been modified several times along the last decades, reflecting their great heterogeneity and making difficult to compare results and draw conclusions. Despite its nearby origin, appendiceal mucinous lesions have a distinctive behaviour compared to colorectal cancer, including their molecular and genetic markers. Due to their low frequency, their management is not well standardised. However, surgery is considered the cornerstone of treatment. Their indolent behaviour has encouraged surgeons to apply more aggressive treatments, such as cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), that may extend overall survival...

AIM: Doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) is an increasing problem, occurring in many cancer patients receiving anthracycline chemotherapy, ultimately leading to heart failure (HF). Unfortunately, DIC remains difficult to manage due to an ignorance regarding pathophysiological mechanisms. Our work aimed to evaluate the role of HSP47 in doxorubicin-induced HF, and to explore the molecular mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS: Mice were exposed to multi-intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin (DOX, 4mg/kg/week, for 6 weeks continuously) to produce DIC...

BACKGROUND: Liver and peritoneum are two of the most common sites of colorectal metastases. METHODS: We searched for articles comparing outcomes of surgical management for metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver and peritoneum. CONCLUSION: Cytoreductive surgery/heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy has a similar safety profile and survival outcomes as hepatectomy for colorectal metastases after stratifying by resection status and should be incorporated earlier in the management algorithm for colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal metastases METHODS: We performed a wide search on PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar for articles comparing outcomes of surgical management for metastatic colorectal cancer to the liver and peritoneum...

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) improves survival compared with chemotherapy alone in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal (CRC) origin, however, long-term survival data are lacking. We report the actual survival of patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC for PC of CRC origin with a minimum potential 5-year follow-up period to identify factors that preclude long-term survival. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospective database, analyzing patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC for PC of CRC origin from 2007 to 2017...

The peritoneum is a common site of metastases for gastrointestinal tumors that predicts a poor outcome. In addition to decreased survival, peritoneal metastases (PMs) can significantly impact quality of life from the resulting ascites and bowel obstructions. The peritoneum has been a target for regional therapies due to the unique properties of the blood-peritoneum barrier. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have become accepted treatments for limited-volume peritoneal disease in appendiceal, ovarian, and colorectal malignancies, but there are limitations...

BACKGROUND: For some cancer operations, center volume is associated with improved patient outcomes. Whether this association is true for cytoreductive surgery/heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is unclear. Given the rapidly expanding use of CRS/HIPEC, the aim of this analysis was to determine whether a volume-outcome relationship exists for this strategy. METHODS: The Vizient Clinical Database® was queried for CRS/HIPEC cases from January 2020 through December 2022...

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is an extremely rare malignancy usually confined to the abdominal cavity. With an aggressive natural history, morbidity and mortality are consequences of progressive locoregional effects within the peritoneal cavity. The first reported case was in the early 20th century, however, due to the rare nature of the disease and a large gap in understanding of the clinicopathological effects, the next reported MPM cases were only published half a decade later. Since then, there has been exponential growth in our understanding of the disease, however, there are no prospective data and a paucity of literature regarding management...
