Critical role of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion in the treatment of a patient with Pseudomyxoma peritonei

Abstract: The role of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) in the treatment of Pseudomyxoma peritonei is debated by clinicians. We report the case of a patient who had multiple episodes of short-interval disease recurrence following debulking surgery, and only achieved long-term remission with the addition of HIPEC. A review of the relevant literature is presented.

“…For patients with clinically indolent, low-grade disease, cytoreductive surgery with a goal of dramatically reducing or eliminating all tumor burden has been shown to substantially prolong survival. [15][16][17][18][19][20] Systemic chemotherapy is believed to be of little benefit for most patients with indolent peritoneal disease. 12,15,21 For patients with disseminated high-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma that is likely to pursue a more aggressive clinical course, the inherent risks of aggressive surgical debulking and cytoreduction must be carefully considered against the reduced likelihood of prolonged survival.…”

“…The use of cCRS + HIPEC (with mitomycin C) allows to obtain many long-term survival rates in the majority of patients (10-year survival approx. 60%-70%) [7][8][9]. Sugarbaker et al analyzed 385 patients diagnosed with PMP, treated with cCRS (CCR0/CCR1) and HIPEC.…”

“…Due to the rarity of this disease entity, there is no standardized approach to PSM arising from a primary breast cancer. Controversy exists over the management of PSM arising from other primary sources, although current approaches to gynecologic 43 and intestinal 44 , 45 PSM suggest that complete cytoreduction and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy may provide a survival advantage. Evaluation of aggressive cytoreduction in patients with carcinomatosis of unknown primary suggests some benefit in terms of palliation and possibly survival 46 .…”
