Background and Objectives: To review long-term survival outcomes of patients with Peritoneal metastasis (PM) who underwent colorectal cancer (CRS) and intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC). Methods: Patients that underwent CRS, with or without PIC, from January 1996 to March 2018 at the Peritonectomy Unit of St. George Hospital, Sydney were retrospectively analyzed from a prospectively maintained database.Results: The study comprised of 1225 cases, including 687 females (56.1%) and 538 males (43.9%). Diagnoses included CRC (n = 363), followed by HAMN (n = 317), LAMN (n = 297), mesothelioma (n = 101), ovarian cancer (n = 55), and others including gastric, sarcoma, and neuroendocrine tumor (n = 92). The median OS, 5-and 10-year survivals for CRC were 35 months, 33% and 8%, respectively. Patients with LAMN, in relative to HAMN, experienced a higher median OS, 5-and 10-year survivals (248 months vs 63 months; 82% vs 52% and 59% vs 28%). The median OS for mesothelioma was 60 months with 5-and 10-year survivals of 48% and 19%, respectively. In ovarian cancer, the median OS was 30 months with 5-and 10-year survivals of 26% and 10%, respectively. For the remaining histological diagnoses, median OS and 5-year survival were 28 months and 27%, respectively.
Conclusion:Our large-cohort data showed that CRS/PIC can provide long-term survival benefit to patients with PM of gastrointestinal and ovarian origin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
