Peritoneal Carcinomatosis of Colorectal Origin

Abstract: Peritoneal seeding of cancer cells possibly leading to PC is a rather common phenomenon in patients with CRC. Cytoreductive surgery and adjuvant (hyperthermic) IPEC have been shown to be efficacious in selected patients and should therefore be considered in patients with resectable PC of colorectal origin.

“…It is supposed to develop metachronously in 4-19% of patients, 24 but the reported incidence at autopsy ranges between 40 and 80%. 25,26 The molecular signals generated in the peritoneal cavity, and specifically the ability to attract supportive macrophages at serosal sites, might play a role in the ability of neoplastic cells to yield peritoneal lesions and in their kinetics.…”

“…Colorectal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis was considered an incurable disease three decades ago and these patients usually died because of intestinal obstruction [8,9]. The last two decades aggressive cytoreductive surgery in combination with intraperitoneal chemotherapy has demonstrated improved results in properly selected patients [10][11][12].…”

“…Moreover, earlier reports on HIPEC suffered from the very small number of included patients, making any stratification impossible. However, beside their role as independent prognostic factors, tumor characteristics are mandatory to get a better stratification, given that the only outcome parameter used is the overall survival, whereas only few studies considered quality of life and PC-free survival [160][161][162] .…”
