Abstract
Gastric cancer with peritoneal metastases (GC-PM) carries a poor prognosis and estimated survival is less than 6 to 12 months. One potential treatment of GC-PM is cytoreduction surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Success of this treatment largely relies on tumor biology and patient selection. These operations carry a high risk of morbidity and mortality and their efficacy in GC-PM remains controversial. This study will review the updated literature for CRS ± HIPEC in patients with GC-PM.

Abstract
Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion (HIPEC) is a new adjuvant therapy for the treatment of abdominal malignant tumors and metastases, which has shown great potential. The HIPEC technique can effectively kill residual lesions in the abdominal cavity through the synergistic sensitization effect of thermal chemotherapy and the circulating perfusion and washing effect of large volume perfusion fluid, thereby reducing the occurrence of malignant ascites and reducing the risk of postoperative recurrence and metastasis. However, there are still many problems in the practical operation of HIPEC, such as non-uniform distribution of perfusate temperature, inadequate perfusion due to the presence of 'dead space', incomplete cytoreductive surgery (CRS), instances of catheter obstruction during perfusate circulation, the lack of a uniform standard for selecting appropriate HIPEC techniques, occupational exposure of medical personnel during the HIPEC procedure, and the selection of HIPEC chemotherapy regimens for patients with various types of tumors. This article aims to summarize the problems encountered in the clinical practice of HIPEC, explore the problems that can be improved, and put forward some suggestions, so as to promote the further standardization and normalization of HIPEC technology.

Abstract
Peritoneal metastasis is the most common pattern of synchronous and metachronous dissemination in gastric cancer (GC) and is associated with a poor prognosis. Even though systemic chemotherapy is the standard of care, the optimal therapeutic approach to peritoneal disease in this setting is yet to be defined. We present a case of a 26-year-old female diagnosed with locally advanced GC who developed peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). The patient underwent cytoreductive surgery (CRS) along with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with complete remission. She remained disease-free after six years, presenting with peritoneal recurrence 70 months after the procedure. This report describes a rare case of long-term survival following a controversial therapeutic approach.

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
Gastric cancer (GC) has a poor prognostic and only one in four patients will have survived by 5 years after diagnosis. These poor results are due to the fact that most patients are diagnosed in advanced stages; peritoneal metastases (PM) are especially frequent and are difficult to treat. Currently, PM are considered a terminal stage of GC with a poor survival rate and are treated with palliative systemic chemotherapy. Since the beginning of the century, the treatment of PM from different origins has evolved; cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have become the treatment of choice for many malignant diseases that affect the peritoneum. CRS and HIPEC have also been used for patients with GC and PM, achieving survival results that have never been achieved when using systemic chemotherapy alone. The use of HIPEC can even prevent the development of peritoneal recurrences in patients with locally advanced GC as adjuvant therapy, can reduce the volume of peritoneal disease as neoadjuvant therapy, and can control symptoms in a palliative setting. The aim of this review is to collate the current scientific evidence regarding the treatment of PM of GC origin with surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer is one of the most aggressive malignant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with a high rate of metastasis. Peritoneal metastasis occurs in up to 60% of all patients and synchronously in up to 30% in locally advanced gastric cancer. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been an established treatment option in selected patients for several years, as the HIPEC serves as an alternative administration route. OBJECTIVE This article presents a schematic display of the various treatment options depending on the extent of peritoneal carcinomatosis in a gastric cancer. METHODS A literature search and analysis of the current literature on the treatment of gastric cancer with peritoneal metastases were carried out. A differentiation was made between limited and extensive peritoneal carcinomatosis together with the appropriate treatment strategy. RESULTS Principally, individual systemic chemotherapy is the backbone of treatment of gastric cancer with peritoneal metastases. In selected patients and in cases of limited peritoneal carcinomatosis, CRS and HIPEC can be conducted and survival is improved; however, CRS is still contraindicated in cases of extensive peritoneal carcinomatosis and in exceptional cases pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) can be carried out. CONCLUSION In selected patients CRS and HIPEC can lead to an improvement with respect to overall and disease-free survival. In cases of extensive peritoneal carcinomatosis, individualized chemotherapy remains the major treatment option.

Abstract
The treatment of patients with peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer continues to evolve. With various forms of intraperitoneal drug delivery available, it is now possible to reach the sites of peritoneal metastases, which were otherwise sub-optimally covered by systemic chemotherapy, owing to the blood peritoneal barrier. We conducted a narrative review based on an extensive literature research, highlighting the current available intraperitoneal treatment options, which resulted in improved survival in well-selected patients of peritoneally metastasized gastric cancer. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy showed promising results in four different treatment modalities: prophylactic, neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and palliative. It is now possible to choose the type of intraperitoneal treatment/s in combination with systemic treatment/s, depending on patients' general condition and peritoneal disease burden, thus providing individualized treatment to these patients. Randomized controlled trials for the different treatment modalities were mainly conducted in Asia and lack further validation in the other parts of the world. Most recent application tools, such as pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy, seem promising and need to pass the ongoing clinical trials.

Abstract
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a poor prognostic factor for all malignancies. This extent of metastatic disease progression remains difficult to treat with systemic therapies due to poor peritoneal vascularization resulting in limited drug delivery and penetration into tissues. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are surgical interventions that directly target peritoneal tumors and have improved outcomes for PC resulting from appendiceal and colorectal cancer (CRC). Despite these radical therapies, long-term survival remains infrequent, and recurrence is common. The reasons for these outcomes are multifactorial and signal the need for the continued development of novel therapeutics, techniques, and approaches to improve outcomes for these patients. Here, we review landmark historical studies that serve as the foundation for current recommendations, recent discoveries, clinical trials, active research, and areas of future interest in CRS/HIPEC to treat PC originating from appendiceal and colorectal malignancies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Palliation is a controversial indication for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) are living longer, and the roles of palliative CRS and HIPEC are increasingly challenged. The purpose of this study is to evaluate indications, morbidity, and symptom improvement from CRS/HIPEC in advanced PC. METHODS A retrospective review of patients undergoing CRS and/or HIPEC with a palliative intent at a single institution from February 2008 to February 2018 was performed. Main end points included symptom improvement, symptom-free interval, and overall survival. RESULTS Two hundred and seventy seven patients were referred for CRS/HIPEC during the study period and 17 underwent 20 palliative procedures. Appendiceal (n = 6) and colorectal cancers (n = 6) were the most common malignancies. Ascites (n = 8) and bowel obstruction (n = 8) were the most common indications for intervention. The postoperative complication rate was 50% and major complication rate was 20%. Partial symptom improvement or resolution of symptoms was achieved in 18 (90%) cases. A durable symptom control at 90 d was achieved in 13 (65%) cases. The median time to symptom recurrence was 5.1 mo (interquartile range: 2-11.4), and the median overall survival was 11.6 mo (interquartile range: 3.8-28.5). CONCLUSIONS Palliative CRS and/or HIPEC achieve symptom improvement in patients with advanced PC. Risk assessment and expected time to recovery from surgery remain paramount for patient selection.

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
Simple Summary Gastric cancer is usually diagnosed at late stages and is associated with poor five-year survival rates. Metastasis to the peritoneal cavity is common and leads to even worse outcomes. Currently, the mainstay of treatment for metastatic gastric cancer is systemic chemotherapy or supportive care. These recommendations remain despite evidence that suggests systemic therapy has poor penetration into the abdominal cavity, limiting efficacy against peritoneal disease. Newer treatments have been developed to address this problem, specifically regional therapies aimed at delivering chemotherapy directly into the peritoneal cavity to eradicate tumor cells. These novel therapies include hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy. Regional therapies may also be combined with surgery to remove both macroscopic and microscopic disease. Although more clinical trials are needed to evaluate its efficacy, early studies have shown promising outcomes with intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Abstract Gastric cancer carries a poor prognosis and is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Patients with gastric cancer who develop peritoneal metastases have an even more dismal prognosis, with median survival time measured in months. Since studies have demonstrated that systemic chemotherapy has poor penetration into the peritoneum, multimodal treatment with intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been proposed for the treatment of peritoneal metastases and has become the foundation for newer therapeutic techniques and clinical trials. These include heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with cytoreductive surgery (CRS), which involves the application of heated chemotherapy into the abdomen with or without tumor debulking surgery; normothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (NIPEC), in which non-heated chemotherapy can be delivered into the abdomen via a peritoneal port allowing for repeat dosing; and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC), a newer technique of pressurized and aerosolized chemotherapy delivered into the abdomen during laparoscopy. Early results with intraperitoneal chemotherapy have shown promise in increasing disease-free and overall survival in select patients. Additionally, there may be a palliative effect of these regional therapies. In this review, we explore and summarize these different intraperitoneal chemotherapy treatment regimens for gastric cancer with peritoneal metastases.

Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) is the third cause of cancer-related deaths in the world, with less than 25% survivors at 5 years. These results are largely related to the high incidence of peritoneal metastases (PM) in these patients. Nowadays, the standard treatment for GC with PM is palliative systemic chemotherapy (SCT) with a survival of 6 months. From the 2000s, the combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has been gaining popularity for different neoplastic diseases that involve the peritoneal surface. The use of CRS and HIPEC has been studied for GC with PM, with promising results in selected patients, obtaining survival rates never seen before. Moreover, HIPEC and other intraperitoneal chemotherapy techniques have been used to prevent peritoneal recurrences in patients diagnosed on locally advanced GC without macroscopic PM (adjuvant or prophylactic HIPEC). Even, intraperitoneal chemotherapy [laparoscopic HIPEC and neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy (NIPS)] has been used as neoadjuvant treatment to reduce peritoneal disease burden in order to improve the rate of patients in whom complete cytoreduction can be achieved. Finally, patients with high volume peritoneal disease can be treated by palliative intraperitoneal chemotherapy to control the symptoms resulting from malignant ascites, using laparoscopic HIPEC or pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC). This review aims to update the management of PM from GC origin in these different clinical scenarios, based on the literature and the experience of the authors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peritoneal carcinomatosis, from a variety of gastrointestinal and gynecological malignancies, has been historically challenging to treat and there remains a wide range of biologic aggressiveness in these patients. Malignancies commonly associated with PC include those of colorectal, appendiceal, gastric, ovarian, sarcoma, small intestinal, and primary peritoneal origin among others. Advances in our understanding of this unique disease process have led to significant interest in cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) as an emerging treatment option. The goal of CRS-HIPEC is to remove all visible macroscopic disease while preserving organ function, and then treat microscopic disease through perfusion of the peritoneal cavity with heated chemotherapy. PURPOSE Although recent reviews have focused on the management of peritoneal carcinomatosis secondary to colorectal cancer given the publication of several recent randomized controlled trials, the purpose of the current review is to summarize the evidence on CRS-HIPEC for non-colorectal peritoneal surface malignancies, including appendiceal neoplasms, malignant peritoneal mesothelioma, gastric cancer, and ovarian cancer. RESULTS While retrospective studies have clarified the importance of prognostic factors such as the peritoneal carcinomatosis index, completeness of cytoreduction, histopathological characteristics, and lymph node positivity, the lack of convincing level 1 evidence for the use of CRS-HIPEC has led to it remaining a highly controversial topic. CONCLUSION The decision to utilize CRS-HIPEC should involve a multidisciplinary team approach and evaluation of prognostic factors to balance the short-term morbidity of the operation with maximum long-term benefits. Large, multi-institutional groups and ongoing trials hold promise for clarifying the role of CRS-HIPEC in peritoneal surface malignancies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a long and complex procedure. A minimal invasive approach is rarely performed. The feasibility of laparoscopic CRS and HIPEC via a single port (SP) approach is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of CRS and HIPEC with a SP approach. METHODS This study is IDEAL stage I-IIa. Patients with low grade and limited peritoneal malignancy were included in a tertiary care cancer center. Intra- and post-operative adverse events were recorded and classified according to medical and surgical dedicated classifications. The main objective measurement to assess feasibility was the conversion to open or multiport surgery. RESULTS A total of 12 highly selected patients were assessed. The median operating time was 240 min (range, 180-360) and two near miss events were reported. Two conversions to open and multiport surgery occurred. The median comprehensive complication index was 0 (range, 0-42.6) with two severe adverse events (Clavien-Dindo or CTC-AE ≥ 3). The median length of stay was 8.5 days (range, 5-13). CONCLUSION CRS and HIPEC via a laparoscopic SP approach are feasible and safe in the short term. The next step should be a prospective development study.

Abstract
The management of peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer origin has evolved considerably over the last three decades with the establishment of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) as efficacious therapies in carefully selected patients. Other approaches such as the use of prophylactic/adjuvant HIPEC in patients who are considered high-risk and those with positive peritoneal cytology will benefit from additional data before being adopted into routine clinical practice. Lastly, there are new and emerging intraperitoneal chemotherapy techniques such as early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) for residual microscopic disease, and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC) for patients with advanced unresectable peritoneal carcinomatosis, which are currently under evaluation in clinical trials. The following review outlines the natural history of gastric cancer, currently available neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapies for resectable disease, and existing evidence supporting various approaches to CRS and intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

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
Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare, aggressive malignancy that typically presents with vague symptoms, ascites, and/or diffuse peritoneal studding. Despite findings of advanced disease within the peritoneal cavity, spread beyond the abdomen is uncommon. Although advances in systemic chemotherapy have been made, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) remain the mainstay of treatment. Median overall survival of approximately 50 months with CRS/HIPEC has been demonstrated, with age, gender, histologic subtype, peritoneal carcinomatosis index, comorbidities, nodal and extra-abdominal metastases, and completeness of cytoreduction all playing a role in prognosis. In patients with refractory malignant ascites and unresectable disease, complete resolution of ascites and improvement in quality of life have been demonstrated with palliative HIPEC. In appropriately selected patients, CRS/HIPEC plays a critical role in the treatment and palliation of MPM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (LS-HIPEC) is a novel strategy for patients with gastric adenocarcinoma (GA) metastatic to the peritoneum. We evaluated the safety profile of LS-HIPEC for patients with positive peritoneal cytology (PPC) or carcinomatosis from GA. METHODS Outcomes were reviewed of patients with stage IV GA with peritoneal involvement who received LS-HIPEC from June 2014 to January 2017. LS-HIPEC included a 60-minute perfusion of mitomycin-C (30 mg) and cisplatin (200 mg) with inflow temperatures of 41-42 °C and outflow temperatures of 39-40 °C. RESULTS A total of 71 LS-HIPEC procedures were performed in 44 patients. At diagnosis, 68% (n = 30) had carcinomatosis and 32% (n = 14) had isolated PPC. Three patients (7%) underwent LS-HIPEC for intractable ascites. All patients initially received systemic chemotherapy, and 20 patients (45%) received pre-procedural chemoradiotherapy. The median number of LS-HIPEC procedures performed per patient was one (range 1-5 procedures). There were no conversions to laparotomy, two outflow catheter obstructions, and one major (Clavien-Dindo grade III) surgical complication within 30 days. A total of seven postoperative adverse hematologic events (> CTCAE 2) were observed in five patients (11%), without any major renal or gastrointestinal adverse events within 30 days. The median overall length of hospital stay after LS-HIPEC was 2 (range 2-11) days. Eleven patients (25%) underwent secondary gastrectomy following resolution of peritoneal cytology. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic HIPEC is a safe procedure and may be repeated in patients with peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer. Future studies are required to determine the optimal HIPEC regimen and timing relative to systemic therapy to best minimize morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In some patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, we could perform the cytoreductive surgery and the HIPEC procedure by a complete laparoscopic approach to avoid morbidity. We consider that using laparoscopic approach for performing peritoneal carcinomatosis cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC with closed CO2 recirculation technique is possible and safe, with equal efficacy to conventional methods and hemodynamic complications. OBJECTIVE Monitoring the effectiveness of the drug distribution in a laparoscopic ctoreductive and HIPEC surgery group with CO2 recirculation respect to a closed and open HIPEC group METHODS: Porcine model that included fifteen mini-pigs. Five pigs were operated with laparoscopic approach performing a pelvic and retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy. They later received a total laparoscopic closed HIPEC with CO2 recirculation (G1). Group 2 (G2): five pigs operated by an open cytoreductive surgery and closed HIPEC technique. Group 3 (G3): five animals in which an open cytoreductive surgery and an open HIPEC technique was performed. Blood and peritoneal determinations were realized after recirculation of the drug, at 60 min using chromatographic analysis. RESULTS G1-G2: phrenic right peritoneum, p: 0.46. Phrenic left peritoneum, p: 0.46. Pelvic peritoneum, p: 0.17. Serum paclitaxel: p: 0.01. G1-G3: phrenic right peritoneum, p: 0.34. Phrenic left peritoneum, p: 0.34. Pelvic peritoneum, p: 0.17. Serum paclitaxel G1-G3, p: 0.02. CONCLUSIONS A total laparoscopic approach for ctoreductive surgery and closed HIPEC with CO2 recirculation may be safe and feasible. In our experimental model there was no significant difference in tissue drug distribution respect the conventional techniques and there was a less toxicity because the serum drug concentration was significantly lower with laparoscopic approach respect the other groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) is an appropriate treatment for select patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. While most commonly performed through an open incision, the laparoscopic approach has been reported and offers short-term benefits. A robotic-assisted approach for carcinomatosis of gastrointestinal origin, however, has not yet been described. METHODS We report our approach to robotic-assisted CRS-HIPEC for a patient with a perforated appendiceal mucocele. Our dynamic video highlights the advantages of this approach. RESULTS Our patient was a 57-year-old woman with minimal residual disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM), having a peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) score of 1. She had a previous surgical history of a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. A robotic-assisted approach was utilized using the Intuitive daVinci Xi robotic surgical system through 4 ports. No laparoscopic assistant port was required. The operative time was 426 min, and the estimated blood loss was 50 cc. The greater omentum, falciform ligament, bilateral ovaries, and two small areas of tumor implant were resected. The post-operative length of stay was 4 days, and the patient had regained bowel function by post-operative day 2. CONCLUSIONS Our video demonstrates the feasibility of a robotic-assisted CRS-HIPEC in a patient with minimal, residual DPAM. Similar to a laparoscopic approach, the short-term outcomes are improved as compared to an open approach. An MIS approach to CRS-HIPEC, now with the first-reported robotic-assisted approach, is a viable option for select patients with peritoneal tumors.

Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an evolving strategy in the locoregional management of peritoneal surface malignancies, and the role of laparoscopy is expanding. Staging laparoscopy is routinely used to obtain tissue for diagnosis and assess extent of tumor burden. Laparoscopic CRS and HIPEC with curative intent is safe and effective in patients with a low disease burden. In patients with refractory malignant ascites, complete resolution of ascites and improvement in quality of life have been demonstrated with palliative laparoscopic HIPEC. Laparoscopic CRS and HIPEC has an expanding role in the treatment of peritoneal surface disease.

Abstract
Despite advances in the management of peritoneal carcinomatosis, morbidity remains high with survival often measured in weeks to months. Patients are often subjected to symptoms and complications that impact quality of life. Much of the management revolves around palliation of symptoms and providing support and resources to address emotional and existential concerns. This article reviews surgical and nonsurgical palliative treatments for the symptoms and complications associated with advanced, incurable peritoneal carcinomatosis. It is important that providers caring for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis be knowledgeable in the palliative management of this condition, including the usefulness of early palliative care referral.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The peritoneal cancer index (PCI) is a comparative prognostic factor for colorectal peritoneal metastasis (CRPM). The ability of laparoscopy to determine the PCI in consideration of cytoreductive surgery remains undetermined, and this study was designed to compare it with laparotomy.
Methods
A prospective multicentre study was conducted for patients with no known CRPM, but at risk of peritoneal disease. Surgery began with laparoscopic exploration followed by open exploration to determine the PCI. Concordance between laparoscopic and open assessment was evaluated for the diagnosis of CRPM and for the PCI.
Results
Among 50 patients evaluated, CRPM recurrence was found in 29 (58 per cent) and 34 (68 per cent) at laparoscopic and open surgery respectively. Laparoscopy was feasible in 88 per cent (44 of 50) and deemed satisfactory by the surgeon in 52 per cent (26 of 50). Among the 25 evaluable patients with satisfactory laparoscopy, there was concordance of 96 per cent (24 of 25 patients) and 38 per cent (10 of 25) for laparoscopic and open assessment of CRPM and the PCI respectively. Where there were discrepancies, it was laparoscopy that underestimated the PCI.
Conclusion
Laparoscopy may underestimate the extent of CRPM.

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.

PURPOSE The aim of this phase II study was to perform neoadjuvant hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) via a minimally invasive approach without cytoreduction for patients with gastric cancer and positive peritoneal cytology or low-volume peritoneal carcinomatosis. METHODS Patients with gastric or gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma and positive peritoneal cytology or radiologically occult peritoneal carcinomatosis after systemic chemotherapy received laparoscopic HIPEC with mitomycin C 30 mg and cisplatin 200 mg. Patients whose peritoneal disease resolved were offered gastrectomy. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS), with secondary endpoints of HIPEC complications and gastrectomy rate. RESULTS We enrolled 19 patients (6 with positive peritoneal cytology only and 13 with peritoneal carcinomatosis) and treated them with 38 laparoscopic HIPEC procedures. Patients had received a median of 8 cycles (range 3-12) of systemic chemotherapy prior to enrollment. Fourteen patients were also treated with chemoradiotherapy before or between cycles of HIPEC. The complication rate for HIPEC was 11% (4 of 38 procedures), the 30-day mortality rate was 0%, and the median length of hospital stay after HIPEC was 3 days (range 2-6). Five patients went on to receive gastrectomy. The median follow-up was 18.9 months, the median OS from the date of diagnosis of metastatic disease was 30.2 months, and the median OS from the first laparoscopic HIPEC was 20.3 months. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic HIPEC was well tolerated, and an encouraging number of patients demonstrated an absence of peritoneal disease after HIPEC and were able to undergo gastrectomy. Comparative studies will be required to clarify survival benefits.

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.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the goals of treatment, decision-making, incidence, and outcomes of surgical palliation in advanced cancer. DATA SOURCES Journal articles, research reports, state of the science papers, and clinical guidelines. CONCLUSION Surgical palliation is common in advanced cancer settings, and is indicated primarily in settings where the goals of treatment are focused on quality of life, symptom control, and symptom prevention. More research is needed to guide evidence-based best practices in palliative surgery. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Oncology nurses practicing in clinical and research settings have a responsibility to arm themselves with knowledge related to the indications and options of palliative procedures, and the impact of surgery on quality of life for patients and families facing advanced cancer.

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
The peritoneum is one of the commonest sites for pathological processes in pediatric surgery. Its response to pathological processes is characterized by an inflammatory reaction with specific pathways depending on the type of injury or peritoneal process involved. This review discusses the current understanding of peritoneal inflammation, adhesion formation, intra-abdominal sepsis, peritoneal metastasis, and ascites and briefly reviews new therapeutic strategies to treat or prevent these pathological entities. Recent studies have improved the understanding of peritoneal responses, resulting in possible new targets for prevention and therapy.

Abstract
The peritoneal stromal tissue which provides a rich source of growth factors and chemokines is a favorable environment for tumor proliferation. The pathophysiological mechanism of peritoneal carcinomatosis is an individual sequence consisting of genetic and environmental factors and remains controversial. The natural history of the disease reveals a poor median prognosis of approximately 6 mo; however aggressive surgery and multimodal treatment options can improve oncologic outcomes. Considering peritoneal carcinomatosis as though it is a locoregional disease but not a metastatic process, cytoreductive surgery and and intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been a curative option during recent years. Cytoreductive surgery implies a series of visceral resections and peritonectomy procedures. Although the aim of cytoreductive surgery is to eliminate all macroscopic disease, viable tumor cells may remain in the peritoneal cavity. At that point, intraperitoneal chemotherapy can extend the macroscopic disease elimination to microscopic disease elimination. The successful treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis requires a comprehensive management plan including proper patient selection, complete resection of all visible disease, perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy and postoperative systemic chemotherapy. Surgical and oncologic outcomes are strictly associated with extent of the tumor, completeness of cytoreduction and patient-related factors as well as multidisciplinary management and experience of the surgical team. In this review, pathophysiology and current management of peritoneal carcinomatosis originating from gastrointestinal tumors are discussed according to the latest literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are considered the only curative treatment for many peritoneal surface malignancies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate feasibility and safety of CRS combined with HIPEC by laparoscopy for patients with limited peritoneal disease and to compare postoperative outcomes with those for an open procedure. METHODS Between January 2011 and November 2012, all patients with low-grade pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) or multicystic mesothelioma (MM) and limited peritoneal disease (Peritoneal Cancer Index [PCI] less than 10) underwent CRS and HIPEC by a laparoscopic approach. The study cohort was matched with a historical cohort of patients with the same characteristics (completeness of cytoreduction, HIPEC agent, PCI ± 11 and age ± 20 years) treated with CRS and HIPEC by laparotomy. RESULTS Eight patients (five low-grade PMP and three MM) treated by a laparoscopic approach were compared to eight patients treated by laparotomy. All patients underwent complete cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC, and no conversion to laparotomy was needed. The median surgical length was 210 min (150-300) vs 240 (210-360), with a median hospital stay of 12 days (9-18) vs 19 (13-33). One patient had a postoperative complication (intraperitoneal haematoma treated by radiological drainage) vs four in the laparotomy group. CONCLUSION Laparoscopic CRS combined with HIPEC is feasible and safe for curative treatment of strictly selected patients with peritoneal surface malignancy and might reduce postoperative complications and length of hospital stay.

Is there a role for intraperitoneal administration of heparin in hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal cancer origin? Current data and future orientations. Med Hypotheses 2013; 81:240-2.

Abstract
In experimental studies, the intraperitoneal administration of heparin has been shown to attenuate cancer growth, reduce the formation of postoperative adhesions and possess immunomodulatory properties of oncological benefit for peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal cancer origin. Combined with data suggesting that the intraperitoneal administration of heparin can reduce the permeability and increase the ultrafiltration of the peritoneal membrane, we hypothesize that intraperitoneally administrated heparin could be a useful adjunction to the currently used hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) regimens.

Abstract
The indications for peritonectomy + hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are based on careful assessment of disease extent, but no imaging procedure is accurate enough to identify lesions smaller than 5 mm or extensively diffuse. Video-laparoscopy allows, with minimal surgical trauma, correct staging with a reliable prediction of expected cytoreduction index. Operative laparoscopy is indicated for palliation of neoplastic ascites with chemotherapy, offering encouraging results. Minimally invasive surgery in the treatment of minimal peritoneal carcinomatosis is not yet validated from wide international experience; the procedure is technically possible with strict indications, and combination with intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy is strongly recommended.
