Successful Implementation of HITOC and HIPEC in the Management of Advanced Ovarian Carcinoma with Pleural and Peritoneal Carcinomatosis.
Diagnostics 2024 Februrary 21
This case report details the application and outcomes of a novel therapeutic approach involving hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and hyperthermic intrathoracic chemotherapy (HITOC) in a single patient diagnosed with advanced ovarian neoplasm. The treatment protocol included pleural cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and HITOC followed by a second surgical intervention consisting of peritoneal CRS and HIPEC. HIPEC targeted the intraperitoneal space with heated chemotherapy, while HITOC extended the thermal perfusion to the thoracic cavity. The patient has shown significant progression in disease-free survival over one year and eight months of observation, demonstrating lower recurrence rates and an overall survival outcome exceeding expectations based on conventional therapy outcomes. The combined modality demonstrated a manageable toxicity profile, with no significant increase in peri- or postoperative complications observed.
