Anthony P, Barat S, Ahmadi N, Morris DL. The CEA/PCI ratio is a superior prognosticator than mCOREP for colorectal cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Surg Open Sci 2024; 19:28-31. [PMID: 38585035 PMCID: PMC10995861 DOI: 10.1016/j.sopen.2024.03.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The CEA/PCI ratio, which evaluates tumour marker and burden, has been demonstrated as a prognosticator for patients with colorectal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis. The aim of this study was to compare the CEA/PCI ratio with the Modified Colorectal Peritoneal Score (mCOREP) for overall survival (OS) and recurrence free survival (RFS). There is no literature currently comparing both markers for RFS. Methods Data was collected retrospectively for patients undergoing CRS and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) at the Peritonectomy Unit at St. George Hospital, NSW from January 2015 to December 2021. Results From 187 patients, an increase in CEA/PCI ratio was associated with reduced OS (p < 0.01) and RFS (p < 0.01), whereas mCOREP score did not demonstrate such association with OS (p = 0.5) nor RFS (p = 0.4). However, CEA/PCI ratio greater than the median of 0.63 was correlated with an increased OS (p = 0.01), whereas the mCOREP greater than the median of 4 correlated with reduced OS (p < 0.01). Median mCOREP also demonstrated association with reduced RFS in patients with PCI <15 (p = 0.03), whereas CEA/PCI ratio above 0.63 demonstrated association with reduced RFS in patients with PCI ≥ 15 (p = 0.02). Conclusion The CEA/PCI ratio is more associated with OS and RFS in patients with colorectal cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis, when compared with mCOREP. CEA/PCI ratio above 0.63 was correlated with increased OS, whereas mCOREP above 4 is correlated with reduced OS. CEA/PCI ratio above 0.63 demonstrated reduced RFS for patients with higher PCIs. By contrast, mCOREP >4 illustrated reduced RFS in patients with lower PCIs.

Abstract
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is an extremely rare malignancy usually confined to the abdominal cavity. With an aggressive natural history, morbidity and mortality are consequences of progressive locoregional effects within the peritoneal cavity. The first reported case was in the early 20th century, however, due to the rare nature of the disease and a large gap in understanding of the clinicopathological effects, the next reported MPM cases were only published half a decade later. Since then, there has been exponential growth in our understanding of the disease, however, there are no prospective data and a paucity of literature regarding management. Traditionally, patients were treated with systemic therapy and the outcomes were very poor, with a median survival of less than one year. However, with the advent of cytoreductive surgery and locoregional chemotherapy, there have been significant improvements in survival. Even more recently, with an improved understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of MPM, there have been reports of improved outcomes with novel therapies. Given the disastrous natural history of MPM, the limited data, and the lack of universal treatment guidelines, an in-depth review of the past, present, and future of MPM is critical to improve treatment regimens and, subsequently, patient outcomes.

Abstract
Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (PM) is a rare neoplasm, traditionally associated with a poor prognosis. There are other varieties of PM that are even less frequent and of uncertain malignancy. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has achieved prolonged survival in selected patients. The aim of this study is to analyze the patients with PM assessed in our center. Clinicopathological characteristics, diagnostic procedures and survival results from patients with PM appraised at our unit, according to the applied treatment, were analyzed. Seventeen patients were assessed between 2007 and 2019. Three cases had multicystic PM that were treated with complete CRS + HIPEC; all patients are alive and free of disease after a long follow-up. Three other cases had biphasic PM; a curative treatment could be performed in none of them, and their survival was minimal (<6 moths). Lastly, 11 cases with epithelioid PM were treated. Two cases were considered unresectable at laparoscopy (PCI 39); one of them had a long survival (67 months) with three iterative laparoscopic palliatives HIPECs for refractory ascites. The other nine cases were treated with curative CRS + HIPEC, with a median PCI of 14 (range 4–25), and a median overall survival (OS) of 58 months, with a 5-year OS of 47.4%. In conclusion, CRS + HIPEC, when possible, appears to be the optimal treatment for patients with PM. Knowledge of this therapeutic option is crucial, both to offer it to patients and to avoid delays in their referral to appropriate centers for treatment.

Abstract
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) remains difficult to diagnose and has a reserved prognosis. Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare entity, of appendicular origin in the majority of cases. Its clinical symptomatology is not specific, and the diagnosis is evoked by imaging and surgery and confirmed by histology.

Abstract
Aim: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is an uncommon pathology, and its rarity causes a lack of scientific evidence, precluding the design of a prospective trial. A diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm (DTA) is necessary in order to standardize the disease treatment while balancing optimal patient management and the correct use of resources. The Consensus of the Italian Society of Surgical Oncology (SICO) Oncoteam aims at defining a diagnostic and therapeutic pathway for PMP and appendiceal primary tumors applicable in Italian healthcare. Method: The consensus panel included 10 delegated representatives of oncological referral centers for Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (PSM) affiliated to the SICO PSM Oncoteam. A list of statements regarding the DTA of patients with PMP was prepared according to recommendations based on the review of the literature and expert opinion. Results: A consensus was obtained on 33 of the 34 statements linked to the DTA; two flowcharts regarding the management of primary appendiceal cancer and peritoneal disease were approved. Conclusion: Currently, consensus has been reached on pathological classification, preoperative evaluation, cytoreductive surgery technical detail, and systemic treatment; some controversies still exist regarding the exclusion criteria for HIPEC treatment. A shared Italian model of DTA is an essential tool to ensure the appropriateness and equity of treatment for these patients.

Abstract
Diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM) is a rare form of mesothelioma that carries a very poor prognosis. The 5-year overall survival is about 20% (±5.9). Survival is optimal for patients suitable for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), with a median OS ranging from 34 to 92 months. However, selecting patients for surgery remains a complex task and requires a careful preoperative workup, rational analysis of prognostic profiles, and risk prediction models. Systemic chemotherapy could be offered: (1) in the adjuvant setting for high-risk patients; (2) for patients not eligible for CRS; and (3) for those with recurrent disease. It mainly includes the combination of Platin compound with Pemetrexed or immunotherapy. The biology of DMPM is still largely unknown. However, progress has been made on some fronts, such as telomere maintenance mechanisms, deregulation of apoptosis, tyrosine kinase pathways, and mutation of BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1). Future perspectives should include translational research to improve our understanding of the disease biology to identify druggable targets. We should also clear the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors and investigate new locoregional technologies, such as pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) or normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC).

Abstract
Introducción. Las metástasis peritoneales representan un estado avanzado de muchos cánceres intraabdominales y suelen dar un pronóstico ominoso a los pacientes que las desarrollan. Hasta hace poco la única opción terapéutica para este escenario era la quimioterapia paliativa. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los tumores metastásicos al peritoneo continúan siendo relativamente resistentes a las drogas citotóxicas y citostáticas administradas por vía endovenosa y, en general, a las terapias individuales.
Métodos. Se realizó una búsqueda de la literatura en las bases de datos de PubMed, SciELO y Google Scholar utilizando las palabras claves: laparoscopia, carcinomatosis peritoneal, estadificación, citorreducción. Se incluyeron para la revisión los artículos con mayor relevancia publicados en inglés y español.
Discusión. La cirugía citorreductiva asociada a técnicas de quimioterapia hipertérmica intraperitoneal se ofrece actualmente a pacientes con indicaciones precisas según el primario subyacente. Es aquí donde la laparoscopia de estadificación realizada de manera correcta y completa juega un papel determinante, puesto que ha demostrado ser un método fiable para realizar una aproximación del compromiso peritoneal.
Conclusión. Todos los especialistas quirúrgicos, en especial los cirujanos generales, deben estar familiarizados en cómo realizar de forma completa una laparoscopia de estadificación, de manera que se pueda hacer una mejor aproximación al grado de compromiso peritoneal, contribuyendo en el manejo integral oncológico del paciente.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The French PRODIGE 7 trial, published on January 2021, has raised doubts about the specific survival benefit provided by HIPEC with oxaliplatin 460 mg/m2 (30 minutes) for the treatment of peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer. However, several methodological flaws have been identified in PRODIGE 7, specially the HIPEC protocol or the choice of overall survival as the main endpoint, so its results have not been assumed as definitive, emphasizing the need for further research on HIPEC. It seems that the HIPEC protocol with high-dose mytomicin-C (35 mg/m2) is the preferred regime to evaluate in future clinical studies. METHODS GECOP-MMC is a prospective, open-label, randomized, multicenter phase IV clinical trial that aims to evaluate the effectiveness of HIPEC with high-dose mytomicin-C in preventing the development of peritoneal recurrence in patients with limited peritoneal metastasis from colon cancer (not rectal), after complete surgical cytoreduction. This study will be performed in 31 Spanish HIPEC centres, starting in March 2022. Additional international recruiting centres are under consideration. Two hundred sixteen patients with PCI ≤ 20, in which complete cytoreduction (CCS 0) has been obtained, will be randomized intraoperatively to arm 1 (with HIPEC) or arm 2 (without HIPEC). We will stratified randomization by surgical PCI (1-10; 11-15; 16-20). Patients in both arms will be treated with personalized systemic chemotherapy. Primary endpoint is peritoneal recurrence-free survival at 3 years. An ancillary study will evaluate the correlation between surgical and pathological PCI, comparing their respective prognostic values. DISCUSSION HIPEC with high-dose mytomicin-C, in patients with limited (PCI ≤ 20) and completely resected (CCS 0) peritoneal metastases, is assumed to reduce the expected risk of peritoneal recurrence from 50 to 30% at 3 years. TRIAL REGISTRATION EudraCT number: 2019-004679-37; Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT05250648 (registration date 02/22/2022, ).

Abstract
Peritoneal metastases confer the worst survival among all sites in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. They develop largely through transcoelomic spread, with a sequence of events that allow cells to first detach from primary tumours, survive in the peritoneal environment, attach to the peritoneal surface of organs and migrate into the submesothelial space to create a microenvironment conducive to metastatic growth. Diagnostic challenges have previously hindered early identification of peritoneal metastases. While advances in diagnostic modalities have improved our ability to identify peritoneal metastases, lesions under 0.5 cm remain challenging to detect. The advent of cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) can offer selected patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases a favourable long-term survival. Recent trials, however, have cast doubts on the efficacy of HIPEC, with the recent PRODIGE 7 trial showing no benefit from oxaliplatin based HIPEC in addition to good quality cytoreductive surgery in resectable disease. While peritoneal recurrence can be reliably predicted from high-risk features in primary tumours such as a perforated cancer, ovarian metastases or T4a cancers, the use of prophylactic second look surgery with HIPEC or adjuvant HIPEC failed to demonstrate any survival benefit in high-risk cases in recent clinical trials, raising further questions about the efficacy of HIPEC. With high failure rates from systemic chemotherapy in unresectable disease, novel surgical techniques such as pressurized intraperitoneal aerolized chemotherapy are being investigated in clinical trials worldwide. Further collaborative research is needed to explore newer avenues of treatment for this poor prognostic cohort.

Abstract
Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) is a rare peritoneal malignancy, most commonly originating from a perforated epithelial tumour of the appendix. Given its rarity, randomized controlled trials on treatment strategies are lacking, nor likely to be performed in the foreseeable future. However, many questions regarding the management of appendiceal tumours, especially when accompanied by PMP, remain unanswered. This consensus statement was initiated by members of the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) Executive Committee as part of a global advisory role in the management of uncommon peritoneal malignancies. The manuscript concerns an overview and analysis of the literature on mucinous appendiceal tumours with, or without, PMP. Recommendations are provided based on three Delphi voting rounds with GRADE-based questions amongst a panel of 80 worldwide PMP experts.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) was previously considered an incurable disease with a poor survival outcome. As our understanding of its biology evolved, the paradigm of the management of PC from colorectal cancer (CRC) has changed, including the combination of macroscopic disease control, cytoreductive surgery (CRS), maximal regional chemotherapy to treat residual microscopic disease, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). As with many surgical innovations, CRS with HIPEC has evolved faster than data to support it, leaving many skeptics and critics. This review highlights the recent evidence of current practice and outcome of CRS with HIPEC. Furthermore, it also summarizes the ongoing clinical trials and potential future progress of this treatment modality.

Abstract
Our aim was to study the accuracy of CT scan in predicting the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) and the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT), abdominal region, disease volume, and primary tumor site on it. This was a prospective single-center study that included patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery ± HIPEC. The CT-PCI was calculated and compared to the surgical PCI. The accuracy of CT-PCI in predicting the surgical PCI and the difference between the two was evaluated. From January 2018 to August 2018, 50 patients were included. The median CT PCI was 6 (range 0-35) and median surgical PCI was 17 (range 2-35). CT-PCI was more than the surgical PCI in 12 (24%), less in 23 (46%), and same in 15 (30%) with an accuracy of 30%. The highest accuracy was in region 10 and lowest in region 3. It was 15% in patients with ovarian cancer, 30% in PMP, 21% in patients receiving NACT, 35% in high-volume disease, and 42.1% in low volume disease. The CT and surgical PCI varied significantly in patients with ovarian cancer (p < 0.001), following NACT (p = 0.01) and those with moderate volume disease (p < 0.001). CT has a low accuracy in predicting the surgical PCI in both high and low volume disease. The CT-PCI can differ significantly from the surgical PCI in patients with ovarian cancer and in patients who have received NACT for peritoneal disease. The impact of NACT on accuracy of CT-PCI in non-ovarian peritoneal metastases should be evaluated further.

Abstract
Background Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a disease involving the peritoneum characterized by the production of large quantities of mucinous ascites. PMP has a low incidence, is difficult to diagnose, and has a guarded prognosis. PMP induced by low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm is extremely rare, and PMP accompanied by rectal cancer is even rarer. Case presentation We present a unique case of a 70-year-old male with PMP induced by low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm accompanied by rectal cancer. The patient’s clinical, surgical, and histologic data were reviewed. The patient had persistent distended abdominal pain without radiating lower back pain, abdominal distension for 1 month, and no exhaustion or defecation for 4 days. A transabdominal ultrasound-guided biopsy was performed on the first day. The patient received an emergency exploratory laparotomy because of increased abdominal pressure. We performed cytoreductive surgery, enterolysis, intestinal decompression, special tumour treatment and radical resection of rectal carcinoma. The postoperative course was uneventful. The postoperative histological diagnoses were PMP, low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasm and rectal medium differentiated adenocarcinoma. At the 1-year follow-up visit, no tumour recurrence was observed by computed tomography (CT). We also performed a literature review. Conclusions We should be aware that PMP can rarely be accompanied by rectal cancer, which represents an easily missed diagnosis and increases the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment. Additionally, there are some typical characteristics of PMP with respect to diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis is seldom curable. Maximal cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been used in efforts to improve survival. There has been a recent explosion of interest in this modality of treatment with various centers employing its use throughout the world. This is a complex procedure associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This makes patient selection very critical and hence there has been immense interest in the evaluation of various prognostic indicators being evaluated. In addition, with the advent of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopy is being increasingly utilized in different capacity. Newer indications for treatment and possible prevention of peritoneal carcinomatosis are being evaluated especially in colorectal cancer. The aim of this brief review is to synthesize and present the recent data available regarding the outcomes and evolving trends associated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Abstract
The peritoneum is the second most common site of metastasis after the liver and the only site of metastatic disease in approximately 25% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). In the past, peritoneal carcinomatosis in CRC was thought to be equivalent to distant metastasis; however, the transcoelomic spread of malignant cells is an acknowledged alternative pathway. Metastasectomy with curative intent is well accepted in patients with liver metastasis in CRC despite the paucity of randomized trials. Therefore, there is rationale for local treatment with peritonectomy to eliminate macroscopic disease, followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy to destroy any residual free tumour cells within the peritoneal cavity. The aim of this paper is to summarize the current evidence for cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis in CRC.
