Abstract
Introduction Peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer (CRC) present a significant clinical challenge with poor prognosis, often unresponsive to systemic chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a treatment approach for select patients. The use of curcumin, a natural compound with antitumor properties, in HIPEC is of interest due to its lower side effects compared to conventional drugs and potential for increased efficacy through direct delivery to the peritoneal cavity. Methods An in vitro hyperthermic model was developed to simulate clinical HIPEC conditions. Three colon cancer cell lines (SK-CO-1, COLO205, SNU-C1) representing different genetic mutations (p53, KRAS, BRAF) were treated with either curcumin (25 µM) or mitomycin-C (1 µM) for 1, 2, or 3 hours. Post-treatment, cells were incubated at 37°C (normothermia) or 42°C (hyperthermia). Cell viability and proliferation were assessed at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-treatment using Annexin V/PI, MTT assay, trypan blue exclusion, and Hoffman microscopy. Results Hyperthermia significantly enhanced the antitumor efficacy of curcumin, evidenced by a two-fold reduction in cell viability compared to normothermia across all cell lines. In the SNU-C1 cell line, which harbors a p53 mutation, mitomycin-C failed to significantly impact cell viability, unlike curcumin, suggesting mutation-specific differences in treatment response. Discussion The findings indicate that hyperthermia augments the antitumor effects of curcumin in vitro, supporting the hypothesis that curcumin could be a more effective HIPEC agent than traditional drugs like mitomycin-C. Mutation-associated differences in response to treatments were observed, particularly in p53 mutant cells. While further studies are needed, these preliminary results suggest that curcumin in HIPEC could represent a novel therapeutic strategy for CRC patients with peritoneal metastases. This approach may offer improved outcomes with fewer side effects, particularly in genetically distinct CRC subtypes.

Abstract
Endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma represent the two major types of uterine cancer. In advanced stages, both cancer entities are challenging to treat and correlate with a meagre survival and prognosis. Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a form of localized chemotherapy that is heated to improve the chemotherapeutic effect on peritoneal metastases. The aim of the current review is to study the role of HIPEC in the treatment of uterine cancer. A literature review was conducted using the MEDLINE and LIVIVO databases with a view to identifying relevant studies. By employing the search terms "hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy", "uterine cancer", "endometrial cancer", and/or "uterine sarcoma", we managed to identify 26 studies published between 2004 and 2023. The present work embodies the most up-to-date, comprehensive review of the literature centering on the particular role of HIPEC as treatment modality for peritoneally metastasized uterine cancer. Patients treated with cytoreductive surgery, alongside HIPEC, seem to profit from not only higher survival but also lower recurrence rates. Factors such as the completeness of cytoreductive surgery, the peritoneal cancer index, the histologic subtype, or the applied chemotherapeutic agent, all influence HIPEC therapy effectiveness. In summary, HIPEC seems to represent a promising treatment alternative for aggressive uterine cancer.

Abstract
Simple Summary Thermography is a non-invasive method for measuring surface temperatures. Due to its ease of use, it may be a convenient way of identifying hypo/hyperthermic areas under a saddle that may be related to saddle pressures. A thermal camera quantified temperatures at specific locations (left/right) of the thoracic region at three-time points; a Pliance (Novel) pressure mat determined the mean/peak saddle pressures (kPa) during a period of exercise. Differences between saddle widths in the cranial/caudal mean and peak saddle pressures were found. The maximum thermal temperatures increased post lunge and post ridden compared to the baseline. No difference between post lunge and post ridden exercise were found. The thermal activity does not appear to be representative of increased saddle pressure values. The sole use of thermal imaging for saddle fitting should be applied with caution. Abstract Thermography is a non-invasive method for measuring surface temperatures and may be a convenient way of identifying hypo/hyperthermic areas under a saddle that may be related to saddle pressures. A thermal camera quantified minimum/maximum/mean temperatures at specific locations (left/right) of the thoracic region at three-time points: (1) baseline; (2) post lunging; (3) post ridden exercise in eight non-lame sports horses ridden by the same rider. A Pliance (Novel) pressure mat determined the mean/peak saddle pressures (kPa) in the cranial and caudal regions. General linear mixed models with the horse as the random factor investigated the time point (fixed factor: baseline; lunge; ridden) and saddle fit (fixed factor: correct; wide; narrow) on thermal parameters with Bonferroni post hoc comparison. The saddle pressure data (grouped: saddle width) were assessed with an ANOVA and Tukey post hoc comparison (p ≤ 0.05). Differences between the saddle widths in the cranial/caudal mean (p = 0.05) and peak saddle pressures (p = 0.01) were found. The maximum temperatures increased post lunge (p ≤ 0.0001) and post ridden (p ≤ 0.0001) compared to the baseline. No difference between post lunge and post ridden exercise (all p ≥ 0.51) was found. The thermal activity does not appear to be representative of increased saddle pressure values. The sole use of thermal imaging for saddle fitting should be applied with caution.

Abstract
Spontaneous sigmoid colon perforation after cytoreduction surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a rare complication. It is more commonly seen with mitomycin‐based HIPEC. This case study's patient presented with pus discharge at the drain site after 4 weeks of surgery. The symptoms persisted after conservative treatment. High suspicion after the feculent smell of the discharge fluidled to the prompt diagnosis of enterocutaneous fistula. There was limitedperforation with abscess formation, followed by fistula formation. The patient was treated successfully with surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-invasive body-sculpting procedures are becoming increasingly popular. The application of 1,060 nm of laser energy transcutaneously to hyperthermically induce the disruption of fat cells in the abdomen is a type of non-invasive procedure. AIMS The purpose of this study was to compare the treatment results from two parameters of the same system, each with different energy output levels, in an in vivo porcine model to determine the most effective application. METHODS Female pigs (n = 3) were used in this study. We examined the effects of the treatment using photography, ultrasonography, gross and microscopic pathology, and histological examination in order to determine the mechanism of action, efficacy, and safety of the procedure. Blood chemistry analysis was performed before each session to check lipid levels and to monitor for any adverse changes in markers that may indicate liver damage. Biopsies were taken and routinely processed with hematoxylin and eosin and Oil Red O stains to examine for tissue damage at baseline and after each treatment. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays were performed to check for apoptotic-related DNA damage. RESULTS Ultrasonic imaging of the same area before and after the application of 1,060 nm of laser energy at outputs of 0.9 and 1.4 W/cm2 showed that the density of the fat layer changed immediately after irradiation due to the transient heat transfer in the fat layer. Preclinical evaluation was performed to obtain comparison data on the safety and efficacy of subcutaneous fat reduction after applying the different energy outputs of 0.9 and 1.4 W/cm2 . CONCLUSION Based on our findings, we suggest that long-term histologic changes through the use of these devices suggest a comparative effectiveness of the treatment energy.

Abstract
RATIONALE Intrapleural hyperthermic chemotherapy (IPHC) is the preferred method to locally treat lung cancer with pleural seeding. Anesthetic management during IPHC is a very challenging task for the anesthesiologist because of the hemodynamic instability associated with the procedure; however, there is no report on anesthetic considerations during the IPHC procedure. PATIENT CONCERNS Three patients who diagnosed lung cancer with pleural invasion scheduled for IPHC were reported in this case series. DIAGNOSIS Case 1, a 48-year-old woman, suffered from lung cancer (adenocarcinoma, T2NxM1a) with diffuse pleural seeding. Case 2, a 58-year-old female, diagnosed with lung cancer (adenocarcinoma, T3N0M1a) with pleural dissemination. Case 3, a 47-year-old male, diagnosed as sarcoma on the left lung with right pericardial invasion and right hemidiaphragm invasion (stage, T3N0M1a). INTERVENTION All three patients underwent IPHC with cisplatin diluted in normal saline (2000 ml) at a rate of 600 ml/min. Inflow temperature of 42°C was using a heart-lung machine over 90 minutes. Hemodynamic changes were monitored through the procedure. OUTCOMES The patient did not require supplemental oxygenation anymore after he recovered from lung transplantation. LESSONS There was sudden drop in the cardiac output and an increase in the pulmonary vascular resistance, which were caused by the volume and temperature of the hyperthermic chemotherapeutic drugs in the pleura during the early stage of IPHC; these changes can be a major problem during the procedure, and supportive hemodynamic management may be needed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In pancreatic cancer, which is therapy resistant due to its hypoxic microenvironment, hyperthermia may enhance the effect of radio(chemo)therapy. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the validity of the hypothesis that hyperthermia added to radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy improves treatment outcome for pancreatic cancer patients. METHODS AND MATERIALS We searched MEDLINE and Embase, supplemented by handsearching, for clinical studies involving hyperthermia in pancreatic cancer patients. The quality of studies was evaluated using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine levels of evidence. Primary outcome was treatment efficacy; we calculated overall response rate and the weighted estimate of the population median overall survival (mp) and compared these between hyperthermia and control cohorts. RESULTS Overall, 14 studies were included, with 395 patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic pancreatic cancer of whom 248 received hyperthermia. Patients were treated with regional (n = 189), intraoperative (n = 39) or whole-body hyperthermia (n = 20), combined with chemotherapy, radiotherapy or both. Quality of the studies was low, with level of evidence 3 (five studies) and 4. The six studies including a control group showed a longer mp in the hyperthermia groups than in the control groups (11.7 vs. 5.6 months). Overall response rate, reported in three studies with a control group, was also better for the hyperthermia groups (43.9% vs. 35.3%). CONCLUSIONS Hyperthermia, when added to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy, may positively affect treatment outcome for patients with pancreatic cancer. However, the quality of the reviewed studies was limited and future randomised controlled trials are needed to establish efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal dissemination of small bowel adenocarcinoma (SBA) is rare but is associated with a dismal prognosis. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is a promising treatment option. We evaluated our experience of CRS-HIPEC for the treatment of SBA. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixteen consecutive patients underwent CRS-HIPEC for small bowel malignancy between 2003 and 2016. Clinopathological and treatment-related factors were obtained from a prospective database. The study's endpoints of disease-free (DFS) and overall (OS) survival were evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic variables were identified through univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS Follow-up was complete in all patients. The median follow-up was 20.6 (range=0.2-62) months. The was no in-hospital mortality and grade III/IV morbidity was 25%. The median OS after CRS-HIPEC was 24.7 months, with a 36-month survival of 34%. The median DFS was 11.3 months, with a 36-month DFS of 8%. Two factors were associated with a poorer OS on univariate analysis; only peritoneal cancer index >10 was associated with a poorer OS on multivariate analysis (p=0.032). CONCLUSION CRS-HIPEC in selected patients with peritoneal dissemination of SBA is associated with reasonable mid-term survival outcomes but treatment failure is common. High disease burden, quantified by the PCI is associated with poor outcomes. A large, prospective, multi-institutional study is needed to further evaluate the outcomes of CRS-HIPEC for SBA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data on the impact of splenectomy on peri-operative outcomes after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC). We report the largest series to date which addresses this topic. METHODS Nine hundred and thirty six consecutive patients underwent CRS/HIPEC from 1996 to 2016 at a high-volume institution in Sydney, Australia. Of these, 418 (45%) underwent splenectomy. Peri-operative complications were graded according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification. The association of splenectomy with 19 peri-operative outcomes was assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. RESULTS In-hospital mortality was 1.8%. Patients undergoing splenectomy had a higher disease burden (peritoneal cancer index ≥17) (71% vs. 22%, P<0.001) and underwent a longer operation (≥9 hours) (73% vs. 34%, P<0.001). Even after accounting for confounding factors, splenectomy was independently associated with an increased risk of grade III/IV morbidity [relative risk (RR), 1.94; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.29-2.91; P=0.01], infective complications (RR, 1.63; 95% CI, 1.09-2.44; P=0.018), pancreatic leak (RR, 5.2; 95% CI, 1.81-14.89, P=0.002) and intra-abdominal collection (RR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.23-2.84, P=0.004). It was also an independent risk factor for long hospital stay (≥28 days) (RR, 1.98; 95% CI, 1.25-3.11; P=0.003). Splenectomy was not associated with in-hospital mortality (RR, 1.68; 95% CI, 0.32-9.32, P=0.556). CONCLUSIONS Splenectomy is an independent risk factor for poorer peri-operative outcomes. Minimizing the likelihood of inadvertent splenic injury through careful dissection and routine vaccination can improve outcomes.

Abstract
Until recently, a diagnosis of peritoneal carcinomatosis was uniformly accompanied by a grim prognosis that was typically measured in weeks to months. Consequently, the management of carcinomatosis revolves largely around palliation of symptoms such as bowel obstruction, nausea, pain, fatigue, and cachexia. A prior lack of effective treatment options created the nihilistic view that currently exists and persists despite improvements in the efficacy of systemic therapy and the evolution of multimodality approaches including surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. This article reviews the evolution and current state of treatment options for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. In addition, it highlights recent advances in understanding the molecular biology of carcinomatosis and the focus of current and future clinical trials. Finally, this article provides practical management options for the palliation of common complications of carcinomatosis. It is hoped that the reader will recognize that carcinomatosis is no longer an imminent death sentence and that through continued research and therapeutic innovation, clinicians can make an even greater impact on this form of metastatic cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE TO REVIEW THE TWO MAIN APPROACHES OF INTRAPERITONEAL (IP) CHEMOTHERAPY DELIVERY IN OVARIAN CANCER: postoperative adjuvant IP chemotherapy after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). METHODS A literature search was conducted to identify studies that employed postoperative adjuvant IP chemotherapy after CRS or combined CRS and intraoperative HIPEC in patients with ovarian cancer. Data of interest included chemotherapy protocol, morbidity and mortality, and survival data. RESULTS Three large randomized controlled trials comprising 707 patients with advanced ovarian cancer who received postoperative adjuvant IP chemotherapy were reviewed. Morbidity rate ranged from 56% to 94% in IP chemotherapy, and mortality rate ranged from 1% to 2%. Median disease-free survival ranged from 24 to 28 months, and overall survival ranged from 49 to 66 months. Planned chemotherapy completion rates ranged from 42% to 71%. Twenty-four nonrandomized studies that reported HIPEC comprised 1167 patients with both advanced and recurrent ovarian cancer. In patients with advanced ovarian cancer, mortality ranged from 0% to 5%, minor morbidity ranged from 16% to 90%, and major morbidity ranged from 0% to 40%. Median disease-free survival ranged from 13 to 56 months, and overall survival ranged from 14 to 64 months. Survival at 5 years ranged from 35% to 70%. In patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, the mortality rate ranged from 0% to 10%, minor morbidity ranged from 7% to 90%, and major morbidity ranged from 0% to 49%. Median disease-free survival ranged from 13 to 24 months and overall survival from 23 to 49 months. Survival at 5 years ranged from 12% to 54%. CONCLUSION There is level-one evidence suggesting the benefit of postoperative adjuvant intraperitoneal chemotherapy for patients with advanced ovarian cancer after cytoreductive surgery, albeit catheter-related complications resulted after treatment discontinuation. Studies report the use of HIPEC predominantly in the setting of recurrent disease and have demonstrated encouraging results, which merits further investigation in future clinical trials.
