Pressure-suit combined with pelvic stop-flow: A feasibility study in a bovine model

The technique of isolated pelvic perfusion (IPP) using extracorporeal circulation is capable of delivering high dose chemotherapy in the pelvic cavity. This technique has improved over time, notably with the use of a G-suit placed and inflated above the iliac bifurcation to impede flow through percutaneous vascular routes. This approach is of potential value in patients with previously irradiated, locally advanced recurrences of cancer originating from the gynecological or gastrointestinal organs. Administration of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in combination with melphalan seems to provide response rates similar to those obtained in the technique of isolated extremity perfusion. A preliminary phase I study has shown promising results in terms of feasibility and response rates. A randomized study is currently underway to compare IPP to standard treatment in patients with unresectable recurrent pelvic tumors of gynecological or gastrointestinal origin.
