Abstract
BACKGROUND Many gastric cancer patients in Western countries are diagnosed as metastatic with a median overall survival of less than twelve months using standard chemotherapy. Innovative treatments, like targeted therapy or immunotherapy, have recently proved to ameliorate prognosis, but a general agreement on managing oligometastatic disease has yet to be achieved. An international multi-disciplinary workshop was held in Bertinoro, Italy, in November 2022 to verify whether achieving a consensus on at least some topics was possible. METHODS A two-round Delphi process was carried out, where participants were asked to answer 32 multiple-choice questions about CT, laparoscopic staging and biomarkers, systemic treatment for different localization, role and indication of palliative care. Consensus was established with at least a 67% agreement. RESULTS The assembly agreed to define oligometastases as a "dynamic" disease which either regresses or remains stable in response to systemic treatment. In addition, the definition of oligometastases was restricted to the following sites: para-aortic nodal stations, liver, lung, and peritoneum, excluding bones. In detail, the following conditions should be considered as oligometastases: involvement of para-aortic stations, in particular 16a2 or 16b1; up to three technically resectable liver metastases; three unilateral or two bilateral lung metastases; peritoneal carcinomatosis with PCI ≤ 6. No consensus was achieved on how to classify positive cytology, which was considered as oligometastatic by 55% of participants only if converted to negative after chemotherapy. CONCLUSION As assessed at the time of diagnosis, surgical treatment of oligometastases should aim at R0 curativity on the entire disease volume, including both the primary tumor and its metastases. Conversion surgery was defined as surgery on the residual volume of disease, which was initially not resectable for technical and/or oncological reasons but nevertheless responded to first-line treatment.

Abstract
Treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies makes physicians face demanding and new-fangled problems, as there are many uncertain aspects considering the outcomes of affected patients' prognoses. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are associated with favorable long-term outcomes in carefully selected patients with peritoneal metastases (PM). We aim to summarize the current results about the initial malignancies and their peritoneal spreads. The current literature has been scrutinized, and studies between 2016 and 2022 were included wherein long-term, progression-free (PFS), and overall survival (OS) data were considered relevant information. Medline, Embase, and Google Scholar have been the main sources. Hereby, we cover all the primer malignancies: gastric, ovarian, and colorectal cancers with peritoneal metastases (PM), malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, and pseudomyxoma peritonei. Examining the advances in the current peer-reviewed literature about the indications of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), target groups, risk factors, and other influencing elements, we intend to provide a complex state-of-the-art report, establishing the relevant aspects of that emerging treatment method.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer has a poor prognosis and involves metastasis to the peritoneum in over 40% of patients. The optimal treatment modalities have not been established for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (GC/PC). Although studies have reported favourable prognostic factors, these have yet to be incorporated into treatment guidelines. Hence, our review aims to appraise the latest diagnostic and treatment developments in managing GC/PC. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Review, and Scopus databases. Articles were evaluated for the use of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and pressurised intraperitoneal aerosolised chemotherapy (PIPAC) in GC/PC. A meta-analysis of studies reporting on overall survival (OS) in HIPEC and comparing the extent of cytoreduction as a prognostic factor was also carried out. RESULTS The database search yielded a total of 2297 studies. Seventeen studies were included in the qualitative and quantitative analyses. Eight studies reported the short-term OS at 1 year as the primary outcome measure, and our analysis showed a significantly higher OS for the HIPEC/CRS cohort compared to the CRS cohort (pooled OR = 0.53; p = 0.0005). This effect persisted longer term at five years as well (pooled OR = 0.52; p < 0.0001). HIPEC and CRS also showed a longer median OS compared to CRS (pooled SMD = 0.61; p < 0.00001). Three studies reporting on PIPAC demonstrated a pooled OS of 10.3 (2.2) months. Prognostic factors for longer OS include a more complete cytoreduction (pooled OR = 5.35; p < 0.00001), which correlated with a peritoneal carcinomatosis index below 7. CONCLUSIONS Novel treatment strategies, such as HIPEC and PIPAC, are promising in the management of GC/PC. Further work is necessary to define their role within the treatment algorithm and identify relevant prognostic factors that will assist patient selection.

Cytoreductive Surgery with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Gastric Cancer with Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: Additional Information Helps to Optimize Patient Selection before Surgery. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:cancers15072089. [PMID: 37046754 PMCID: PMC10093399 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15072089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Revised: 03/25/2023] [Accepted: 03/30/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: The prognosis of gastric cancer-associated peritoneal carcinomatosis (GCPC) is poor, with a median survival time of less than six months, and current systemic chemotherapy, including targeted therapy, is ineffective. Despite growing evidence that cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) for GCPC improves overall survival (OS), optimal patient selection remains unclear. We aimed to evaluate preoperative clinical factors and identify indicative factors for predicting postoperative OS in patients with GCPC undergoing CRS-HIPEC. (2) Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 44 consecutive patients with GCPC who underwent CRS-HIPEC between May 2015 and May 2021. Data on demographics and radiologic assessment were collected and analyzed. (3) Results: Elevated preoperative serum neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio > 4.4 (p = 0.003, HR = 3.70, 95% CI = 1.55–8.79) and number of computed tomography risks > 2 (p = 0.005, HR = 3.26, 95% CI = 1.33–7.98) were independently indicative of OS post-surgery. A strong correlation was observed between intraoperative peritoneal cancer index score and number of computed tomography risks (r = 0.534, p < 0.0001). Two patients after CRS-HIPEC ultimately achieved disease-free survival for more than 50 months. (4) Conclusions: Our experience optimizes GCPC patients’ selection for CRS-HIPEC, may help to improve outcomes in the corresponding population, and prevent futile surgery in inappropriate patients.

Surgical Options for Peritoneal Surface Metastases from Digestive Malignancies-A Comprehensive Review. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:medicina59020255. [PMID: 36837456 PMCID: PMC9960111 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59020255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Revised: 01/25/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
The peritoneum is a common site for the dissemination of digestive malignancies, particularly gastric, colorectal, appendix, or pancreatic cancer. Other tumors such as cholangiocarcinomas, digestive neuroendocrine tumors, or gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) may also associate with peritoneal surface metastases (PSM). Peritoneal dissemination is proven to worsen the prognosis of these patients. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS), along with systemic chemotherapy, have been shown to constitute a survival benefit in selected patients with PSM. Furthermore, the association of CRS with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) seems to significantly improve the prognosis of patients with certain types of digestive malignancies associated with PSM. However, the benefit of CRS with HIPEC is still controversial, especially due to the significant morbidity associated with this procedure. According to the results of the PRODIGE 7 trial, CRS for PSM from colorectal cancer (CRC) achieved overall survival (OS) rates higher than 40 months, but the addition of oxaliplatin-based HIPEC failed to improve the long-term outcomes. Furthermore, the PROPHYLOCHIP and COLOPEC trials failed to demonstrate the effectiveness of oxaliplatin-based HIPEC for preventing peritoneal metastases development in high-risk patients operated for CRC. In this review, we discuss the limitations of these studies and the reasons why these results are not sufficient to refute this technique, until future well-designed trials evaluate the impact of different HIPEC regimens. In contrast, in pseudomyxoma peritonei, CRS plus HIPEC represents the gold standard therapy, which is able to achieve 10-year OS rates ranging between 70 and 80%. For patients with PSM from gastric carcinoma, CRS plus HIPEC achieved median OS rates higher than 40 months after complete cytoreduction in patients with a peritoneal cancer index (PCI) ≤6. However, the data have not yet been validated in randomized clinical trials. In this review, we discuss the controversies regarding the most efficient drugs that should be used for HIPEC and the duration of the procedure. We also discuss the current evidence and controversies related to the benefit of CRS (and HIPEC) in patients with PSM from other digestive malignancies. Although it is a palliative treatment, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC) significantly increases OS in patients with unresectable PSM from gastric cancer and represents a promising approach for patients with PSM from other digestive cancers.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in China. Intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy is a comprehensive therapy that combines intraperitoneal perfusion, hyperthermia, and chemotherapy. It has a good curative effect in peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. In recent years, with the continuous progress of technology and the deepening of research, the scope of application of intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy is more extensive. In this paper, we discuss intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy with regard to its application in gastric cancer, commonly used drugs, safety, and prospects.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is an aggressive malignancy with a high burden of peritoneal disease. Evidence regarding the use of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to improve outcomes has been growing. However, given multiple limitations, there remains a lack of international consensus regarding the optimal treatment paradigm. This review article discusses the burden of peritoneal disease in GC patients and the role of CRS + HIPEC in all treatment intents—curative, prophylactic, and palliative.

Abstract
Background The status of peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM) management in North Africa is undetermined. The aim of this study was to assess and compare current practice and knowledge regarding PSM and examine satisfaction with available treatment options and need for alternative therapies in North Africa. Methods This is a qualitative study involving specialists participating in PSM management in North Africa. The survey analyzed demographic characteristics and current knowledge and opinions regarding PSM management in different institutions. We also looked at goals and priorities, satisfaction with treatment modalities and heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) usefulness according to specialty, country, years of experience, and activity sector. Results One-hundred and three participants responded to the survey (response rate of 57%), including oncologists and surgeons. 59.2% of respondents had more than 10 years experience and 45.6% treated 20–50 PSM cases annually. Participants satisfaction with PSM treatment modalities was mild for gastric cancer (3/10 [IQR 2–3]) and moderate for colorectal (5/10 [IQR 3–5]), ovarian (5/10 [IQR 3–5]), and pseudomyxoma peritonei (5/10 [IQR 3–5]) type of malignancies. Good quality of life and symptom relief were rated as main priorities for treatment and the need for new treatment modalities was rated 9/10 [IQR 8–9]. The perceived usefulness of systemic chemotherapy in first intention was described as high by 42.7 and 39.8% of respondents for PSM of colorectal and gastric origins, while HIPEC was described as highly useful for ovarian (49.5%) and PMP (73.8) malignancies. Conclusions The management of PSM in the North African region has distinct differences in knowledge, treatments availability and priorities. Disparities are also noted according to specialty, country, years of expertise, and activity sector. The creation of referral structures and PSM networks could be a step forward to standardized PSM management in the region.

Abstract
PurposeWe investigated the value of ascites and serial plasma circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) for predicting response to hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), monitoring tumor burden, and predicting prognosis in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC).Experimental DesignIn this observational study, 19 patients with PC were enrolled. Serial plasma ctDNA was analyzed using next-generation sequencing. The molecular tumor burden index (mTBI) was used to detect ctDNA, and concurrent changes in the dominant clone variant allele frequency (VAF) and common tumor markers were used as controls. The correlation between ascites and plasma ctDNA comutated genes was expressed by VAF. The overall response rate (complete response + partial response) after HIPEC was determined. Ascites progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined, and potential correlations between these outcomes and change in mTBI (△mTBI), change in sum-VAF (△sum-VAF), dominant close VAF, and tumor markers were assessed.ResultsThe overall response rate at 1 month after HIPEC was 100%. The △mTBI (r = 0.673; P = 0.023) and △sum-VAF (r = 0.945; P <0.001) were significantly positively correlated with ascites PFS; these correlations were stronger than those of the dominant clone VAF (r = 0.588; P = 0.057) and tumor markers in the same period (r =0.091; P = 0.790). Patients with a low baseline mTBI (<0.67) demonstrated significantly longer ascites PFS (P = 0.003; HR = 0.157; 95% CI: 0.046–0.540) and OS (P = 0.017; HR = 0.296; 95% CI: 0.109–0.804) than those with a high baseline mTBI (≥0.67). Consistent mutations were detected in plasma and ascites (r = 0.794; P = 0.001).ConclusionA real-time serial plasma ctDNA assay accurately reflected tumor burden. The △mTBI and △sum-VAF can be used as predictors of HIPEC efficacy in patients with PC. A high baseline mTBI may be a negative risk factor for prognosis.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) patients with peritoneal metastasis tend to achieve poor clinical outcomes. Until recently, the treatment options were limited mainly to either palliative chemotherapy or radiation therapy in exceptional cases. Currently, these patients benefit from multimodal treatment, such as cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Despite good overall results, this treatment modality is still widely debated. The following study is designed to assess the papers about the possible application and utility of HIPEC in GC. A search in the PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases was performed to assess the papers devoted to the role of HIPEC in GC treatment; a literature search was performed until March 21st; and, finally, 50 studies with a total number of 3946 patients were analyzed. According to the most recent data, it seems to be reasonable to limit the duration of HIPEC to the shortest effective time. Moreover, the drugs used in HIPEC need to have equal concentrations and the same solvent. Perioperative chemotherapy needs to be reported in detail and, furthermore, the term “morbidity” should be defined more clearly by the authors.

Cytoreductive Surgery for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis from Gastric Cancer: Technical Details. J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10225263. [PMID: 34830545 PMCID: PMC8619964 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10225263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2021] [Revised: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Due to limited systemic treatment options, peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin is still associated with a dismal outcome and is claimed a terminal disease. In the past, surgery had not been considered as a potential treatment option. However, there is emerging evidence that in selected patients, locoregional treatment modalities including cytoreductive surgery of peritoneal carcinomatosis can improve survival in patients with gastric cancer. These operative procedures are complex and challenging, and a high surgical expertise of the treating physician is necessary to prevent major postoperative morbidity and mortality with a delay of further systemic therapy. This review summarizes our current knowledge and personal experience regarding the techniques of cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal metastasis of gastric origin.

Abstract
Background The development of multimodality treatment, including cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), has led to promising results in selected patients with peritoneal disease of gastric origin. The aim of this study was to investigate the short- and long-term outcomes of CRS/HIPEC in the treatment of synchronous peritoneal metastasis in gastric cancer. Methods The Italian Peritoneal Surface Malignancies Oncoteam—S.I.C.O. retrospective registry included patients with synchronous peritoneal malignancy from gastric cancer submitted to gastrectomy with CRS and HIPEC between 2005 and 2018 from 11 high-volume, specialized centers. Results A total of 91 patients with a median age of 58 years (range 26–75) were enrolled. The median overall survival (OS) time for the whole group of patients was 20.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 11.8–28.5] and the median recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 7.3 months (95% CI 4–10.6). The completeness of cytoreduction score (CCS) of 0 and Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) score of ≤ 6 groups showed a significantly better long-term survival (median OS 40.7 and 44.3 months, respectively) compared with the incomplete resected groups (median OS 10.7 months, p = 0.003) and PCI score of > 6 group (median OS 13.4 months, p = 0.005). A significant difference was observed in the survival rate according to neoadjuvant treatment (untreated patients: 10.7 months, 95% CI 5.1–16.2; treated patients: 35.3 months, 95% CI 2.8–67.8; p = 0.022). Conclusions In referral centers, CRS and HIPEC after neoadjuvant treatment significantly improved survival in selected patients. Patients with a PCI score ≤ 6, complete cytoreduction, negative nodal involvements, and negative cytology had encouraging results, showing a clinically meaningful survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastases (PM) are a form of metastatic spread affecting approximately 5-15% of colon cancer patients. The attitude towards management of peritoneal metastases has evolved from therapeutic nihilism towards a more comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, in large part due to the development of cytoreductive surgery (CRS), usually coupled with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), along with the constant improvement of systemic chemotherapy of colorectal cancer. Several landmark studies, including 5 randomized controlled trials have marked the development and refinement of surgical approaches to treating colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases. METHODS This review article focuses on these landmark studies and their influence in 4 key areas: the evidence supporting surgical resection of peritoneal metastases, the identification and standardization of important prognostic variables influencing patient selection, the role of surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy in prevention of colorectal PM and the role of intraperitoneal chemotherapy as an adjuvant to surgical resection. RESULTS These landmark studies indicate that surgical resection of colorectal PM should be considered as a therapeutic option in appropriately selected patients and when adequate surgical expertise is available. Standardized prognostic variables including the Peritoneal Cancer Index and the Completeness of Cytoreduction Score should be used for evaluating both indications and outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence does not support the use of second look surgery with oxaliplatin HIPEC or prophylactic oxaliplatin HIPEC in patients with high risk colon cancer nor the use of oxaliplatin HIPEC with CRS of colorectal PM.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric origin is an aggressive tumor entity. Historically it has been considered a terminal disease with no long-term survival, due to limited therapeutic options. However, as a better understanding of tumor biology has evolved in recent years, novel multimodal treatment strategies incorporating intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy-hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC), neoadjuvant intraperitoneal-systemic chemotherapy protocol (NIPS)-and cytoreductive surgery (CRS) have demonstrated promising oncologic outcomes and even long-term survival in selected patients. Most of the studies published to date are retrospective in nature. These studies involve heterogenous patient populations, a wide variety of chemotherapeutic drugs, and show wide variation in outcomes between institutions. Thus, it is difficult to evaluate the results. This review summarizes our current knowledge regarding IP chemotherapy and CRS for peritoneal metastases (PM) in gastric cancer (GC). We describe our institutional treatment regimens. We also provide a brief overview of new, targeted therapies that may show promise in the future.

Abstract
Peritoneal metastasis (PM) have an incidence of 10-20% in patients with gastric cancer (GC), and even up to 40% in patients with UICC Stage III GC. Due to the aggressive characteristic of adenocarcinoma of the stomach, GC is the third leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. For GC with PM, the treatment of choice is according to national and international guidelines systemic chemotherapy, combined with biologic therapy against specific receptor antigen in with overexpression, such as HER-2. Multimodal treatment regimens including intraperitoneal application of chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery (CRS) have been investigated and established all over the world. Driven by pharmacological studies and thoughts considering the increased benefits of cytotoxic agents used in the abdominal cavity, several drugs and drug combinations are widely used. In order to standardize treatment protocols, it is crucial to differentiate between normothermic and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC, HIPEC). The requirements of an ideal cytotoxic drug different obviously dependent on its application method. Because of their high molecular weight and lipophilic structure, taxanes, such as paclitaxel or docetaxel have a long intraperitoneal retention time and are commonly used in NIPEC, while platin derivates, such as carboplatin or oxaliplatin are known for their synergistic effect to heat and are chosen in HIPEC. This review aims to explore and summarize different intraperitoneal treatment regimens strictly evaluated by supporting evidence in an effort to consolidate many regimens to a few evidence-based treatment protocols that deserve further investigation and distribution. This analysis included all studies focusing on intraperitoneal chemotherapy: Phase II, Phase III trials and non-randomized retrospective trials of larger cohorts of patients with GC and established PM or risk of PM. Interestingly, the protocols for NIPEC are quite uniform, with less variation between the therapeutic components in contrast to the different HIPEC protocols. This difference might be explained by the divergent evolution of NIPEC and HIPEC, as the former exclusively originated in Japan, while HIPEC experienced a more multicentric evolution and distribution in the United States, Asia, Europe, and worldwide utilization today.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The PERISCOPE I (Treatment of PERItoneal dissemination in Stomach Cancer patients with cytOreductive surgery and hyPErthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) study was conducted to investigate the safety and feasibility of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in gastric cancer patients with limited peritoneal dissemination. In this study, tumor characteristics and clinical outcome of the patients treated in the PERISCOPE I trial were investigated. METHODS Patients who had undergone the full study protocol were selected; that is, preoperative systemic chemotherapy, followed by a surgical procedure consisting of a (sub)total gastrectomy, cytoreductive surgery, and HIPEC with oxaliplatin (460 mg/m2 ) and docetaxel (in escalating doses). RESULTS Twenty-five PERISCOPE I patients underwent the full study protocol. Most patients had an ypT3-4 tumor (96%) and the diffuse-type histology was predominant (64%). Seven patients (28%) had a microscopically irradical (R1) resection. In all patients, a complete cytoreduction was achieved. Median follow-up was 37 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 34-39) months. Disease recurrence was detected in 17 patients (68%). Median disease-free and overall survival were 12 and 15 months, respectively. CONCLUSION In this series of gastric cancer patients with limited peritoneal dissemination who underwent HIPEC surgery, unfavorable tumor characteristics were common. Survival might be encouraging but disease recurrence was frequent. The efficacy of an HIPEC procedure in improving prognosis is currently being investigated in the PERISCOPE II trial.

Abstract
Purpose Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) are increasingly treated with multidisciplinary combined approaches. The study aim was to assess current practice and perceptions of treatment modalities of PC. Methods Indian Society of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (ISPSM) members were invited to complete an online survey. Current practice and perceptions of treatment modalities were assessed through 19 closed questions. Scores were assessed using a Likert scale (0: not important, 5: very important). Treatment modality satisfaction was assessed using a semantic scale (frustrated: 0, perfectly happy: 10). Participants were sent 3 reminders at 4-week intervals. Results Fifty-seven out of 182 members completed the survey (31%). Forty percent of participants had an experience of at least 10 years, and 75% stated treating less than 20 PC patients per year. Main treatment goals for patients with PC were cure (5/5) and symptom relief (4/5). Participant’s satisfaction with treatment modalities for ovarian, colorectal, and gastric PC were 6/10, 5/10, and 2/10, respectively. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for ovarian (57%) and colorectal (44%) origins were considered to be useful. Clinical usefulness of chemotherapy for gastric PC was rated to be low (17%). Conclusions Current treatment modalities fall short to satisfy the needs (cure, symptom relief) of patients with PC. Alternative systemic and intraperitoneal treatment modalities should be assessed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal metastasis (PM) of gastric cancer (GC) is relatively common (17%) and is associated with poor survival. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is still controversially discussed, as it has proven an increase in survival in selected patients, but only a small subgroup reached long-term survival. The aim of this study was to collect and analyse a worldwide cohort of patients treated with CRS and HIPEC with long-term survival in order to explore relevant patient characteristics. METHODS We conducted a questionnaire, which was distributed to all collaborators of the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI). Inclusion criteria were: histopathologic proven PM of GC, treated with CRS and HIPEC, and overall survival >5 years. Patient, tumour, and therapeutic details were collected and analysed. RESULTS From an analysis of 448 patients treated between 1994 and 2014, a total of 28 patients with a mean age of 53.0 years and mean PCI of 3.3 were included. The overall median survival was 11.0 years (min 5.0; max 27.9). The predictors completeness of cytoreduction (CC-0) and PCI<6 were present in 22/28 patients. 12/28 patients developed at a median of 9.6 years tumour recurrence, and was associated with inferior median overall survival compared to patients without recurrence (8.8 years vs. not reached; p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Long-term survival and even cure are possible in patients with PM of GC treated with CRS and HIPEC. Completeness of cytoreduction and low PCI seemed to be crucial. Further studies are needed in order to improve existing selection criteria.

Methods We enrolled six consecutive patients with unresectable PM from GC who underwent bidirectional chemotherapy using IP docetaxel and IV FOLFOX or LV5FU2. In one course, IP docetaxel 30 mg/m2 was administrated on days 1, 8 and 15, and IV FOLFOX or LV5FU2 was administered on days 1 and 15, followed by 7 days of rest. Before and after a complete bidirectional cycle of three courses, the peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was evaluated by laparoscopy. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the feasibility and safety of bidirectional chemotherapy. Secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS), and the success of the therapeutic strategy was reflected by a decrease of 25% of the initial PCI. Results All patients completed one bidirectional cycle. The regimen was well tolerated. The median OS was 13 months [range 5–18], and the 1-year OS rate was 67%. After the first bidirectional cycle, the PCI decrease ≥25% of the initial value in four patients. A major histological response was observed in four patients. Conclusions This is the first Western study and confirms the feasibility and safety of bidirectional treatment using IP and IV chemotherapy for patients with unresectable PM from GC, resulting in a 13-month median OS with limited morbidity. The decrease in PCI after one bidirectional cycle is promising.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer have a poor prognosis with a median survival of 7 months. A benefit of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) could be shown in several selected patient cohorts but remains controversial. The aim of this study was, to reflect the results of a national German HIPEC registry initiated by the German Society of General and Visceral Surgery (DGAV). METHODS The DGAV HIPEC registry StuDoQ|Peritoneum documents patients with peritoneal malignancy contributed from 52 hospitals. All consecutive documented patients from 2011 until 2016 (n = 3078) were treated with CRS and HIPEC and were analysed. A total of 315 (10%) suffered from gastric cancer and were analysed. RESULTS A complete data set of 235 patients was available for this study, including 113 male (48.1%) and 122 female (51.9%) patients with a median age of 53.4 years (SD ± 11.9). The median PCI was 8.0 (range 1-30). A complete cytoreduction was achieved in 121 patients (71.6%). Postoperative complications (Clavien-Dindo grades 3-4) occurred in 40 patients (17%). The median overall survival (OS) time was 13 months. The 5-year survival rate was 6%. According to the PCI from 0-6 (n = 74); 7-15 (n = 70) and 16-39 (n = 24) the median OS differs significantly (18 months vs. 12 months vs. 5 months; p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS CRS and HIPEC in selected patients with gastric cancer and peritoneal spread can improve survival when they are treated in centers. An accurate staging and patient selection are of major importance to achieve long-term survival.

Long Term Survival after Cytoreductive Surgery Combined with Perioperative Chemotherapy in Gastric Cancer Patients with Peritoneal Metastasis. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12010116. [PMID: 31906405 PMCID: PMC7016959 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12010116] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2019] [Revised: 12/24/2019] [Accepted: 12/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study demonstrated prognostic factors for long-term survival in patients after a comprehensive treatment (CHT) for peritoneal metastasis (PM) from gastric cancer (GC). Materials and Methods: Among 419 patients treated with neoadjuvant intraperitoneal/systemic chemotherapy (NIPS), 266 (63.5%) patients received complete resection (CC-0) of the macroscopic tumors. In total, 184 (43.9%) patients were treated with postoperative systemic chemotherapy. Results: All patients treated who received incomplete cytoreduction (CC-1) died of GC within 6 years. In contrast, 10- year survival rates (-YSR) of CC-0 resection were 8.3% with median survival time (MST) of 20.5 months. Post-NIPS peritoneal cancer index (PCI) ≤11, and pre-NIPS PCI ≤13 were the significant favorable prognostic factors. Patients with numbers of involved peritoneal sectors ≤5 survived significant longer than those with ≥6. Both negative pre- and post-NIPS cytology was associated with significant favorable prognosis. Multivariate analyses identified pre-PCI (≤13 vs. ≥14), and cytology after NIPS (negative cytology vs. positive cytology) as independent prognostic factors. Ten year-survivors were found in patients with involvement of the greater omentum (9%), pelvic peritoneum (3%), para-colic gutter (13.9%), upper jejunum (5.6%), lower jejunum (5.5%), spermatic cord (21.9%), rectum (9.5%), ureter (6.3%), ovary (6.7%), and diaphragm (7.0%) at the time of cytoreduction. Twenty-one patients survived longer than 5 years, and 17 patients are still alive without recurrence. Conclusions: GC-PM should be removed aggressively, in patients with PCI after NIPS ≤11, PCI before NIPS ≤13, mall bowel PCI ≤2, and complete cytoreduction should be performed for metastasis in ≤5 peritoneal sectors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with peritoneal metastases of gastric cancer have a poor prognosis and median survival of 7 months. This study compared treatment options and outcomes based on the Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI). METHODS This retrospective analysis included patients with gastric cancer treated between August 2008 and December 2017 with synchronous peritoneal metastases only diagnosed by laparoscopy. The three treatments were as follows: (1) cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in combination with pre- and postoperative systemic chemotherapy (n = 58), (2) laparotomy/laparoscopy without CRS, but HIPEC in combination with pre- and postoperative systemic chemotherapy (n = 11), and (3) systemic chemotherapy only (n = 19). RESULTS A total of 88 patients aged 54.6 ± 10.9 years with mean PCI of 14.3 ± 11.3 were included. The PCI was significantly lower in group 1 (8.3 ± 5.7) than in group 2 (23.9 ± 11.1, p < 0.001) and group 3 (27.3 ± 9.3, p < 0.001). Mean time from diagnosis to laparoscopy was 5.2 ± 2.9 months. The median overall survival was 9.8 ± 0.7 for group 1, 6.3 ± 3.0 for group 2 and 4.9 ± 1.9 months for group 3 (p < 0.001). Predictors for deteriorated overall patient survival included > 4 cycles of preoperative chemotherapy (HR 4.49, p < 0.001), lymph-node metastasis (HR 3.53, p = 0.005), PCI ≥ 12 (HR 2.11, p = 0.036), and incompleteness of cytoreduction (HR 4.30, p = 0.001) in patients treated with CRS and HIPEC. CONCLUSION CRS and HIPEC showed convincing results in selected patients with PCI < 12 and complete cytoreduction. Prolonged duration (> 4 cycles) of preoperative intravenous chemotherapy reduced patient survival in patients suitable for CRS and HIPEC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to conduct a genomewide transcriptomic profiling to develop a microRNA (miRNA)-based signature for the identification of peritoneal metastasis (PM) in patients with gastric cancer (GC). SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Even though PM in patients with GC has long been recognized to associate with poor prognosis, currently there is lack of availability of molecular biomarkers for its robust diagnosis. METHODS We performed a systematic biomarker discovery by analyzing miRNA expression profiles in primary tumors from GC patients with and without PM, and subsequently validated the expression of candidate miRNA biomarkers in 3 independent clinical cohorts of 354 patients with advanced GC. RESULTS Five miRNAs (miR-30a-5p, -134-5p, -337-3p, -659-3p, and -3917) were identified during the initial discovery phase; three of which (miR-30a-5p, -659-3p, and -3917) were significantly overexpressed in the primary tumors from PM-positive patients in the testing cohort (P = 0.002, 0.04, and 0.007, respectively), and distinguished patients with versus without peritoneal metastasis with the value of area under the curve (AUC) of 0.82. Furthermore, high expression of these miRNAs also associated with poor prognosis (hazard ratio = 2.18, P = 0.04). The efficacy of the combination miRNA signature was subsequently validated in an independent validation cohort (AUC = 0.74). Finally, our miRNA signature when combined together with the macroscopic Borrmann's type score offered a much superior diagnostic in all 3 cohorts (AUC = 0.87, 0.76, and 0.79, respectively). CONCLUSIONS We have established an miRNA-based signature that have a potential to identify peritoneal metastasis in GC patients.

Abstract
Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fourth/fifth most common malignancy worldwide, with only a quarter of patients achieving a 5-year survival rate. It has been estimated that 15-50% or more of patients have peritoneal disease upon surgical exploration. Until the early 1990s, peritoneal metastasis was considered as terminal stage of the disease; in the late 1990s, selected patients with peritoneal metastasis were recategorized as local disease. Over the past two decades, the treatment of peritoneal involvement has transformed, and cytoreductive surgery plus intraperitoneal therapy have drastically altered the natural course of several malignancies. Areas covered: We performed a review of studies available on PubMed from 1 January 2014 to 31 July 2019 and the analysis of their reference citations. We describe the most current intraperitoneal chemotherapy opportunities in the treatment of gastric cancer: hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), laparoscopic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (LHIPEC), neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy (NIPS), LHIPEC + NIPS, extensive intraoperative peritoneal lavage (EIPL), early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC), and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC). Expert opinion: Comprehensive treatment consisting of CRS combined with perioperative intraperitoneal/systemic chemotherapy can, today, be considered an effective strategy to improve the long-term survival of gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis.

Abstract
Despite decreasing incidence, gastric cancer remains a major health problem worldwide and is associated with poor survival. The poor survival is mainly attributed to delayed presentation which may cause local or systemic metastases. The standard of care for patients with metastatic gastric cancer (MGC) is palliative chemotherapy with best supportive care. Although the survival has improved owing to advances in chemotherapeutic agents, it is still unsatisfactory, and some perspective changes are needed in the management of MGC to improve the outcomes. Therefore, various alternative treatment strategies for MGC have formed the most important research topics. Liver-directed treatment (LDT) options such as liver resection, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), microwave ablation (MWA), and hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy (HAIC) have been studied in the management of liver metastasis from gastric cancer (LMGC). Intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) in addition to cytoreductive surgery (CRS) aiming to remove all macroscopic tumor focus resulting from peritoneal dissemination is the treatment option for peritoneal metastasis, while para-aortic lymph node dissection is the treatment option for para-aortic lymph node metastasis which is considered to be M1 disease. Conversion surgery is a novel concept aiming at R0 resection for originally unresectable or marginally resectable tumors after a remarkably good response to the chemotherapy. Large amounts of data in the literature have demonstrated the benefits of individualized approaches such as the combination of systemic and local treatment options in selected patient groups. In this review, we aimed to explore the current and future treatment options by reviewing the literature on this controversial topic.

The Value of Serum Immunoglobulin G Glycome in the Preoperative Discrimination of Peritoneal Metastasis from Advanced Gastric Cancer. J Cancer 2019; 10:2811-2821. [PMID: 31258789 PMCID: PMC6584920 DOI: 10.7150/jca.31380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2018] [Accepted: 05/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Peritoneal metastasis, associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer, is difficult to discriminate from advanced gastric cancer preoperatively. However, operative diagnosis could bring both mental and physical trauma and economic burden for patients. Consequently, a non-invasive biomarker is necessary to reduce the burden of operative diagnosis and improve survival quality of patients. This study aims to elucidate the correlation between Immunoglobulin G (IgG) N-glycome and peritoneal metastasis and find potential biomarkers in preoperative discrimination of peritoneal metastasis from advanced gastric cancer based on the comprehensive sample set. Methods: A total of 373 gastric cancer patients were enrolled and randomly sorted into training cohort (n=249) and validation cohort (n=124). The IgG N-glycome composition was analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. Results: Twenty-four glycan peaks were directly detected and 15 traits based on the same structures were evaluated between peritoneal metastasis group and advanced gastric cancer group. Several differences in IgG glycosylation were found: sialylation and fucosylation were increased in peritoneal metastasis, while neutral glycosylation, monogalacosylation and bisecting GlcNAc were decreased. Based on the significant glycomics profile, a glyco-model composed of five glycan peaks (GP6, GP9, GP11, GP21 and GP23) was established with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.80 (training cohort) and 0.77 (validation cohort), which showed good potential in discriminating peritoneal metastasis from advanced gastric cancer. The diagnostic performance of this model was further validated in a combined cohort (AUC=0.79). Two patients with gastric cancer were selected to perform and demonstrate the usage of the diagnostic workflow. Conclusions: Here we firstly present IgG glycome profiles in a large number of preoperative peritoneal metastasis serums. The IgG glycan was highly associated with peritoneal metastasis. These findings enhance the understanding of peritoneal metastasis. Besides, our results suggested that the newly established glyco-model could be a reliable predictor of the presence of peritoneal metastasis in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
Gastric cancer-associated peritoneal carcinomatosis leads to a poor prognosis and low quality of life. The current systemic chemotherapy processes cannot effectively improve survival. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been used as an alternative treatment to control this disease through recurrence prevention, definitive therapeutic modality, and symptom palliation. Although HIPEC has been demonstrated to yield favorable results mainly in some Asian studies, widespread adoption of this treatment is still debatable before larger prospective randomized controlled clinical trials confirm its effectiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND At present, palliative systemic chemotherapy is the standard treatment in the Netherlands for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal dissemination. In contrast to lymphatic and haematogenous dissemination, peritoneal dissemination may be regarded as locoregional spread of disease. Administering cytotoxic drugs directly into the peritoneal cavity has an advantage over systemic chemotherapy since high concentrations can be delivered directly into the peritoneal cavity with limited systemic toxicity. The combination of a radical gastrectomy with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has shown promising results in patients with gastric cancer in Asia. However, the results obtained in Asian patients cannot be extrapolated to Western patients. The aim of this study is to compare the overall survival between patients with gastric cancer with limited peritoneal dissemination and/or tumour positive peritoneal cytology treated with palliative systemic chemotherapy, and those treated with gastrectomy, CRS and HIPEC after neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy. METHODS In this multicentre randomised controlled two-armed phase III trial, 106 patients will be randomised (1:1) between palliative systemic chemotherapy only (standard treatment) and gastrectomy, CRS and HIPEC (experimental treatment) after 3-4 cycles of systemic chemotherapy.Patients with gastric cancer are eligible for inclusion if (1) the primary cT3-cT4 gastric tumour including regional lymph nodes is considered to be resectable, (2) limited peritoneal dissemination (Peritoneal Cancer Index < 7) and/or tumour positive peritoneal cytology are confirmed by laparoscopy or laparotomy, and (3) systemic chemotherapy was given (prior to inclusion) without disease progression. DISCUSSION The PERISCOPE II study will determine whether gastric cancer patients with limited peritoneal dissemination and/or tumour positive peritoneal cytology treated with systemic chemotherapy, gastrectomy, CRS and HIPEC have a survival benefit over patients treated with palliative systemic chemotherapy only. TRIAL REGISTRATION clinicaltrials.gov NCT03348150 ; registration date November 2017; first enrolment November 2017; expected end date December 2022; trial status: Ongoing.

Abstract
Gastric cancer is a common disease with high mortality. The definition of advanced gastric cancer is still debated. Radical surgery associated to appropriate systemic and intra-abdominal chemotherapy is the gold standard treatment. In presence of peritoneal carcinosis, reaching a complete cytoreduction is the key to achieve long-term survival. Adequate lymphadenectomy is also fundamental. Conversion therapy could be applied to selected IV stage patients. No definitive evidences exist regarding the oncological and surgical superiority of mini-invasive approaches over the classical open techniques.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) has a predilection to metastasize to the peritoneum, denoting a poor prognosis. Treatment strategies available for advanced GC have significantly evolved over time and can be categorized into systemic, regional, and surgical. Although systemic therapies have been the mainstay for the treatment of advanced GC, their ability in achieving long-term survival in patients with peritoneal involvement is modest at best. This article describes advances in combined modality treatment of peritoneal metastases, specifically with an emphasis on peritoneal-directed therapies.

Abstract
Peritoneal metastases (PM) are the common endpoint for patients with advanced gastrointestinal cancers. PM from these cancers are often managed in a similar fashion to other sites of systemic metastases, but the following must be taken into consideration. (a) PM do not respond to systemic chemotherapy in the same fashion as liver and lung metastases. (b) PM cause local problems, resulting in disruption of chemotherapy. (c) Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) actually work for PM. (d) PM are not easily detected on imaging modalities. There has been mounting evidence of the effectiveness of CRS-HIPEC at prolonging survival in selected patients with colorectal and gastric PM, but there remains a reluctance to explore this treatment modality. This is likely because of the perceived morbidity and mortality. An effective management strategy employing CRS-HIPEC for selected patients with gastrointestinal PM can only be achieved if a concerted effort is made to understand this disease and address the concerns regarding this treatment.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from gastric cancer has traditionally been considered a terminal progression of the disease and is associated with poor survival outcomes. Positive peritoneal cytology similarly worsens the survival of patients with gastric cancer and treatment options for these patients have been limited. Recent advances in multimodality treatment regimens have led to innovative ways to care for and treat patients with this disease burden. One of these advances has been to use neoadjuvant therapy to try and convert patients with positive cytology or low-volume PC to negative cytology with no evidence of active peritoneal disease. These strategies include the use of neoadjuvant systemic chemotherapy alone, using neoadjuvant laparoscopic heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NLHIPEC) after systemic chemotherapy, or using neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy (NIPS) in a bidirectional manner. For patients with higher volume PC, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been mainstays of treatment. When used together, CRS and HIPEC can improve overall outcomes in properly selected patients, but overall survival outcomes remain unacceptably low. The extent of peritoneal disease, commonly measured by the peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI), and the completeness of cytoreduction, has been shown to greatly impact outcomes in patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC. The uses of NLHIPEC and NLHIPEC plus NIPS have both been shown to decrease the PCI and thus increase the opportunity for complete cytoreduction. Newer therapies like pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy and immunotherapy, such as catumaxomab, along with improved systemic chemotherapeutic regimens, are being explored with great interest. There is exciting progress being made in the management of PC from gastric cancer and its' treatment is no longer futile.

Abstract
Background Peritoneal metastases from gynecologic and gastrointestinal cancer is of increasing interest to surgical and medical oncologists because of newly recognized benefits of treatment. In contrast to prior outcomes, prolonged disease-free survival and cure have been reported. Methods To date, the benefits are to use complete surgical removal of the peritoneal metastases combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) delivered in the operating room. To supplement the local-regional control, normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy used long term (NIPEC-LT) and delivered by an intraperitoneal port has been explored. Results In three high grade malignancies with the preponderance of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and HIPEC treatment failures within the peritoneal space, NIPEC-LT has been favorably reported in the oncology literature. In ovarian cancer and malignant peritoneal mesothelioma the NIPEC-LT is used an adjuvant treatment in an attempt to preserve a surgical complete response of CRS. In gastric cancer, NIPEC-LT is given as a neoadjuvant treatment with responders going on to radical surgical resection. Responses are monitored by laparoscopy. Conclusions This overview highlights benefits of NIPEC-LT in three diseases where benefits from CRS and HIPEC have been recognized but that local-regional failures persist. Improved results with NIPEC-LT have been reviewed for ovarian cancer, gastric cancer, and peritoneal mesothelioma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND FGFR2 amplification is associated with aggressive gastric cancer (GC), and targeted drugs have been developed for treatment of GC. We evaluated the antitumor activity of an FGFR inhibitor in FGFR2-amplified GC patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. METHODS Two GC patients with FGFR2 amplification confirmed by fluorescence in situ hybridization showed peritoneal seeding and malignant ascites. We used the patient-derived xenograft model; patient-derived cells (PDCs) from malignant ascites were used to assess FGFR2 expression and its downstream pathway using immunofluorescence analysis and immunoblot assay in vitro. Apoptosis and cell cycle arrest after treatment of FGFR inhibitor were analyzed by Annexin V-FITC assay and cell cycle analysis. RESULTS FGFR2 amplification was verified in both PDC lines. AZD4547 as an FGFR inhibitor decreased proliferation of PDCs, and the IC50 value was estimated to be 250 nM in PDC#1 and 210 nM in PDC#2. FGFR inhibitor also significantly decreased levels of phosphorylated FGFR2 and downstream signaling molecules in FGFR2-amplified PDC lines. In cell cycle analysis, apoptosis was significantly increased in AZD4547-treated cells compared with nontreated cells. The proportion of cells in the sub-G1 stage was significantly higher in AZD4547-treated PDCs than in control cells. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that FGFR2 amplification is a relevant therapeutic target in GC with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Abstract
Peritoneal metastasis is the most frequent pattern of gastric cancer recurrence or metastasis and is a definitive determinant of prognosis. However, an effective means of treating peritoneal disease has not yet been established. Systemic chemotherapy has only a limited effect on peritoneal metastasis, although some progress has been shown in terms of median survival time, especially among patients with a minimal or moderate disease burden. Clinical research related to intraperitoneal administration of anticancer drugs is currently underway. An advantage of intraperitoneal chemotherapy is the ability to achieve high concentrations of anticancer drugs in the peritoneal cavity and the direct exposure of peritoneal deposits and free cancer cells to those drugs. In addition, pharmacokinetic studies with taxanes have shown that these high intraperitoneal drug concentrations are sustained for a considerable length of time, allowing prolonged exposure. As taxanes are the most appropriate drugs for intraperitoneal administration, the development of repeated intraperitoneal chemotherapy using taxanes for gastric cancer peritoneal metastasis-either alone or in combination with systemic chemotherapy-has taken place over the past decade, mostly in Japan. Several phase II trials and a phase III trial have recently demonstrated the efficacy of this therapy, including median survival times of 14.4-24.6 months and one-year overall survival rates of 67-91%. These results may lead to the approval of intraperitoneal taxanes, especially paclitaxel, for official insurance coverage in the near future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Treatment options for patients with gastrointestinal cancer and oligometastastic disease remain the domain of the medical oncologist. However, in selected cases, attempts to remove or destroy the tumor burden seem appropriate. BACKGROUND DATA During the last decade, the treatment of localized and isolated tumor nodules, such as lung, liver or peritoneal metastasis, has changed. Previously, these patients with metastatic disease only received palliative chemotherapy. Combined treatment approaches and new techniques demonstrate that additional surgery to destroy or remove the metastases seem to be of major benefit to patients. METHODS The recently published important literature regarding peritoneal metastases and oligometastases in gastrointestinal cancer was analyzed. RESULTS The most important factor in the treatment of peritoneal metastases and in cytoreductive surgery is patient selection. Resection of peritoneal metastases should be considered. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is feasible. However, further results of randomized trials are necessary. Several randomized trials are on the way and will be available in 1-2 years. Systemic chemotherapy alone as an adequate management plan for all sites of metastatic disease is not compatible with a high standard of care. Formulating an optimal plan combining re-operative surgery with regional plus systemic chemotherapy is a necessary task of the multidisciplinary team. CONCLUSIONS In oligometastastic disease of gastrointestinal cancer origin, the selection process is the most important factor for survival. Further studies are needed to determine optimal treatment options.

Abstract
AIM To compare the inhibitory effect of sustained-release fluorouracil (Sinofuan) and fluorouracil injection on peritoneally transplanted MKN-45 tumors in nude mice.
METHODS Fifty-one nude mice peritoneally transplanted with MKN-45 cells were randomly divided into three groups: control group, fluorouracil injection group (2 mg/nude mouse), and sustained-release fluorouracil group (2 mg/nude mouse). The general status of the nude mice, body mass changes and survival were observed. Ascites volume was measured, the number of tumor cells per milliliter of ascites was counted, and tumor cell apoptosis was detected.
RESULTS Compared with the control group, the general status of nude mice from the fluorouracil injection group and sustained-release fluorouracil group were better with regard to slower weight gain, delayed systemic symptoms and prolonged survival (P < 0.05). The median survival of mice in the sustained-release fluorouracil group was prolonged compared with the fluorouracil injection group (25 d vs 19 d, P < 0.01). Ascites volume in the sustained-release fluorouracil group was less than that in the fluorouracil injection group [(5.66 mL ± 1.00 mL) vs (8.78 mL ± 1.19 mL), P < 0.01], but the difference in the number of ascitic tumor cells per milliliter between the two groups was not statistically significant [(2.75 × 108/mL ± 0.71 × 108/mL) vs (3.46 × 108/mL ± 0.69 × 108/mL)]. Tumor cell apoptosis rate was significantly higher in the sustained-release fluorouracil group than in the fluorouracil injection group (14.49% ± 0.80% vs 2.03% ± 0.64%, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION Sustained-release fluorouracil is better than fluorouracil injection in intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneally transplanted MKN-45 tumors in nude mice.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is manifested in up to 40% of gastric cancer (GC) patients, after which their 5-year survival drops to less than 5%. The currently most acceptable treatment option for advanced GC (AGC) is systemic chemo and radio therapies with however generally very unsatisfying results and this led to a resurgence of interest in regional therapies like cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Small trials have indicated an association with prolonged survival when applying this technique to AGC manifesting with PC. High procedure-related morbidity and mortality associated with the CRS-HIPEC approach have however brought by a polemic on the merits of the latter: with the advent of regulatory approval of more effective as well as novel, more personalized treatment options in AGC, along with advances in tailoring investigational agents specifically for peritoneal delivery, there clearly is a need to outline the appropriate role of CRS-HIPEC in this disease. In a clear objective to improve the therapeutic efficiency of HIPEC, there have been immense developments in the technical aspects of this technology including the use of nanotechnology in more precise drug delivery systems (DDS) or choice of more efficient drugs such as gene-target technology, laparoscopy and so on. Henceforth, in this review, we will be highlighting the past and current status of the CRS + HIPEC procedure, shedding light on the pros and cons in order to boost up the efficiency of this multimodality approach.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis appears to be the most common pattern of metastasis or recurrence and is associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients. Many efforts have been made to improve the survival in patients with peritoneal metastasis. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy remains a widely accepted strategy in the treatment of peritoneal dissemination. Several phase II-III studies confirmed that the combined cytoreducitve surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy resulted in longer survival in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. In addition, proper selection and effective regional treatment in patients with high risk of peritoneal recurrence after resection will further improve prognosis in local advanced gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) is the most important prognostic factor following comprehensive treatment for peritoneal metastasis (PM) from gastric cancer (GCPM); however, 70 % of patients with GCPM showed a PCI score above the cut-off level at the time of diagnosis. Furthermore, neoadjuvant chemotherapy may reduce the PCI score to lower than the cut-off levels. In this study, the effects of neoadjuvant laparoscopic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (NLHIPEC) and neoadjuvant intraperitoneal/systemic chemotherapy (NIPS) were investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS In group A, NLHIPEC was performed twice in 53 patients with GCPM, separated by a 1-month rest interval. Changes in the PCI were studied at the time of first and second laparoscopy. In group B, after NLHIPEC, a series of 3-week cycles of NIPS were performed over three courses in 52 patients. A laparotomy for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) was then carried out and the PCI changes were studied. RESULTS In group A, the PCI score at the time of the second session (11.8 ± 11.0) was significantly lower than at the time of the first session (14.2 ± 10.7), while in group B, the PCI at the time of laparotomy (9.9 ± 11.3) was significantly lower than at the time of NLHIPEC (14.8 ± 11.4). After NLHIPEC plus NIPS, complete cytoreduction was achieved in 30 (57.6 %) patients. CONCLUSIONS NLHIPEC and NIPS are effective methods of reducing PCI levels before CRS.

Abstract
Background: The current treatment of choice for peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer is systemic chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a new aggressive form of loco-regional treatment that is currently being used in pseudomyxoma peritoneii, peritoneal mesothelioma and peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer. It is still under investigation for its use in gastric cancer. Methods: The literature between 1970 and 2016 was surveyed systematically through a review of published studies on the treatment outcomes of CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer. Results: Seventeen studies were included in this review. The median survival for all patients ranged from 6.6 to 15.8 months. The 5-years overall survival ranged from 6 to 31%. For patients with complete cytoreduction, the median survival was 11.2 to 43.4 months and the 5-years overall survival was 13 % to 23%. Important prognostic factors were found to be a low peritoneal carcarcinomatosis index (PCI) score and the completeness of cytoreduction. Conclusion: The current evidence suggests that CRS and HIPEC has a role to play in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer. Long term survival has been shown for a select group of patients. However, further studies are needed to validate these results.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The most common cause of tumour progression in advanced gastric cancer is peritoneal carcinosis (PC). The necessity to increase the survival in advanced diseases suggested to deliver the chemotherapy directly in the peritoneal cavity also in Cy+/PC- and to experiment the effect of massive peritoneal lavage to wash out the tumour cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the gain in term of survival and peritoneal recurrence rate of the intraperitoneal chemotherapy and/or peritoneal lavage in patients with Cy+/PC-. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic review with meta-analysis of trials about the effect of intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) and/or peritoneal lavage (PL) on positive cytology in gastric cancer without carcinosis. RESULTS Three trials have been included (164 patients: 76 received surgery alone, 51 surgery + IPC and 37 surgery + IPC + PL). Two- and five-years survival is increased by IPC (RR = 1.62, RR = 3.10). 2 and 5 years survival is further increased by IPC + PL (RR = 2.33, RR = 6.19). Peritoneal recurrence is reduced by IPC (OR = 0.45) and by IPC + PL (OR = 0.13). CONCLUSIONS Two- and five-years overall survival in patients with free cancer cells without carcinosis is incremented by intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Peritoneal lavage further increases these survival rates and also it further decreases the peritoneal recurrence rate.

Abstract
Recently, Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) developed a novel comprehensive treatment consisting of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and perioperative chemotherapy (POC) for the treatment of peritoneal metastases (PM) from gastric cancer with curative intent. This article reviews the results of this treatment and verifies its indication. In this strategy, peritoneal cancer index (PCI) is determined by laparoscopy, and a peritoneal port is placed. Neoadjuvant bidirectional intraperitoneal/systemic chemotherapy (NIPS) is performed for 3 cycles, and then laparotomy is performed. Cytoreductive surgery with peritonectomy procedures and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) are performed. Multivariate analyses showed that completeness of cytoreduction, pathologic response to NIPS and PCI level and cytologic status after NIPS, as independent prognostic factors. PCI less than cut-off level after NIPS, negative cytology after NIPS, and positive response to NIPS were identified as the indications for comprehensive treatment. Patients who hold these criteria should be considered as the candidates for CRS and HIPEC.

Abstract
Peritoneal spread of tumors is a major problem in cancer management. Patients develop a marked deterioration in quality of life and shortened survival. This is in part due to bowel obstructions, marked ascites, and overall increase debilitation. Standard medical management has shown to be inadequate for the treatment of these problems. Surgery can palliate symptoms, however, it is unable to be complete at the microscopic level by a significant spillage of tumor cells throughout the abdomen. Chemotherapy can have some improvement in symptoms however it is short lived due to poor penetration into the peritoneal cavity. The role of intraperitoneal chemotherapy is to maximize tumor penetration and optimize cell death while minimizing systemic toxicity. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) are two treatment methods that serve this role and have been shown to improve survival. This review will discuss different chemotherapies used for both of these treatment options.

Abstract
Peritoneal metastasis, either synchronous or metachronous, is commonly seen in gastric cancer. It is associated with a poor prognosis, with a median survival of less than one year. The outcomes are not significantly improved by the use of systemic chemotherapy. We review the relevant literature on the role of HIPEC in gastric cancer. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been used in three situations in gastric cancer. Besides its role as a definitive treatment in patients with established peritoneal metastasis (PM), it has been used as a prophylaxis against peritoneal recurrence after curative surgery and also as a palliative treatment in advanced peritoneal metastasis with intractable ascites. While prophylactic HIPEC has been shown to reduce peritoneal recurrence and improve survival in many randomised trials, palliative HIPEC can reduce the need for frequent paracentesis. Although CRS with HIPEC has shown promise in increasing the survival of selected patients with established PM from gastric cancer, larger studies are needed before this can be accepted as a standard of care.

Abstract
Gastric cancer associated peritoneal carcinomatosis (GCPC) has a poor prognosis with a median survival of less than one year. Systemic chemotherapy including targeted agents has not been found to significantly increase the survival in GCPC. Since recurrent gastric cancer remains confined to the abdominal cavity in many patients, regional therapies like aggressive cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been investigated for GCPC. HIPEC has been used for three indications in GC- as an adjuvant therapy after a curative surgery, HIPEC has been shown to improve survival and reduce peritoneal recurrences in many randomised trials in Asian countries; as a definitive treatment in established PC, HIPEC along with CRS is the only therapeutic modality that has resulted in long-term survival in select groups of patients; as a palliative treatment in advanced PC with intractable ascites, HIPEC has been shown to control ascites and reduce the need for frequent paracentesis. While the results of randomised trials of adjuvant HIPEC from western centres are awaited, the role of HIPEC in the treatment of GCPC is still evolving and needs larger studies before it is accepted as a standard of care.
