Efficacy of modified FOLFOX6 chemotherapy for patients with unresectable pseudomyxoma peritonei

Abstract: Background Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare malignancy, and there is insufficient evidence about systemic chemotherapy for this disease. Methods We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of a chemotherapeutic regimen with 5-fluorouracil and oxaliplatin (modified FOLFOX6, mFOLFOX6) for patients with unresectable pseudomyxoma peritonei. Patients who received the therapy between

“…Furthermore, extensive disease [ 23 , 24 ], prolonged operative time, and postoperative complications are all factors associated with long-term impairment of quality of life [ 10 ], which has to be considered when performing CRS and HIPEC for such patients. Since the only therapeutic alternatives are debulking and systemic chemotherapy, which are both palliative options [ 25 ], CRS and HIPEC in this population may be considered in a curative intent, but only if a complete CRS is achievable with acceptable postoperative morbidity and impact on quality of life.…”

“…Moreover, tumor response is difficult to evaluate with standard radiological criteria, as PMP masses are mostly composed of mucin and it is unlikely to obtain a significant shrinkage even in case of full activity on tumoral cells. The results of SC showed a response rate ranging between 8-20%, median OS between 26-56 months, and 1-year OS rate of 84-91 [40][41][42][43][44] (Table 3). Although the recent introduction of immunotherapy has shown promising results in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, especially those with defective DNA mismatch repair system (dMMR) [45], this treatment has not yet been tested in PMP patients.…”
