Peritoneal Metastasis: Current Status and Treatment Options

Abstract: Peritoneal metastasis (PM) originating from gastrointestinal cancer was considered a terminal disease until recently. The advent of better systemic treatment, a better understanding of prognostic factors, and finally, the advent of novel loco-regional therapies, has opened the door for the multimodal treatment of PM. These strategies, including radical surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) showed surprisingly good results, leading to the prolonged survival of patients with peritoneal me… Show more

“…Colorectal peritoneal metastases present or develop in about 25% of patients with colorectal cancers ( 1 ). The prognosis of patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases is poor, and there is currently no established standard treatment ( 6 ). A previous study reported that 50% of patients with colorectal peritoneal metastasis are suitable for immunotherapy ( 26 ).…”

“…Although various approaches, such as extended resections, combination chemotherapy, i.p. chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, have been attempted, the prognosis of patients with peritoneal metastases remains poor, and there is no established standard treatment ( 6 ). Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has shown promising therapeutic efficacy in cancer therapy; however, it has been shown that peritoneal metastases are associated with a low response rate to ICB and poor clinical outcomes after ICB therapy ( 5 ).…”

“…These strategies, including radical surgery and thermoperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), showed surprisingly promising results and prolonged the survival time of patients with peritoneal metastasis. Because the therapeutic effect of PMCC has been greatly improved in recent years and the therapeutic concept is mainly based on active intervention rather than palliative treatment ( 29 ), although from the current research status, there is still a long way to go to achieve revolutionary therapeutic effect. Therefore, considerable efforts should be made to identify patients with PC at the earliest stages before further dissemination of PMCC.…”

“…For colorectal cancer (CRC), it is still the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide ( 2 ), more than a hundred thousand new cases and fifty thousand deaths were estimated in 2021 ( 1 ). Genetic, environmental, epigenetic, and microbiological factors have been considered as the causing factors of CRC ( 3 ). However, molecular pathogenesis is still not fully clarified.…”
