Effects of Cytoreductive Surgery Combined with Perioperative Chemotherapy on Long-Term Survivals of Colorectal Cancer Patients with Peritoneal Metastasis, with Special Reference to the Involved Peritoneal Sectors and Organs.

UNLABELLED: Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International(PSOGI)proposed a novel treatment, named comprehensive treatment for peritoneal metastasis(PM)from colorectal cancer(CRC). The present study demonstrated the efficacies of the treatment regarding the peritoneal sectors and organs involved with PM from CRC.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

Among 365 patients received laparotomy, 278 CRC patients with PM underwent complete cytoreductive surgery(CC-0).

RESULTS

After CC-0 resection Grade 3, Grade 4, and Grade 5 postoperative complication were found in 20(7.2%), 26(9.3%), and 6(2.2%). Five- and 10-year survival rate(YSR)of CC-0 resection were 24.5%, and 11.6% with median survival time(MST)of 42.0 months. Regarding the peritoneal cancer index(PCI)of small bowel(SB-PCI), all patients of PCI B3 died of the disease. In contrast, 10-YSR of patients with SB-PCI of 0, 1, and 2 were 26.1%, 19.5%, and 6.2%, respectively. Ten-YSR of patients with the number of involved peritoneal sectors C9 ranged from 6.9% to 29.8%. MST of patients with PM in each peritoneal sector(sector 0 to sector 8)ranged from 26.4 months to 49.2 months, and 10-YSR ranged from 4.2%to 17.2%. Ten-YSR of patients with involvement of rectum, stomach, liver capsule, seminal vesicle, ureter, uterus, or ovary ranged from 0% to 16.9%.

CONCLUSIONS

From the present data, PM should be removed aggressively to achieve complete cytoreduction, when the patients with PCIC26, involved peritoneal sectorsC9 and SB-PCIC2 are supposed to receive complete cytoreduction of PM.
