Adjuvant intraperitoneal chemotherapy with carbon-adsorbed mitomycin in patients with gastric cancer: results of a randomized multicenter trial of the Austrian Working Group for Surgical Oncology.

Abstract: Adjuvant intraperitoneal therapy of gastric cancer by mitomycin bound to activated carbon particles is associated with an increased rate of postoperative complications. However, no benefit for prognosis following radical resection of locally advanced tumors was observed in this multicenter phase III trial.

“…In total, these 32 patients received 119 cycles of TACE (median of four cycles). Across both treatment groups, 15 (9.4%) had progressive disease. The median survival time after liver metastasis was 14.7 months (range 7 -37 months; Fig.…”

“…By contrast, intra-abdominal sepsis without anastomotic leakage (P=0.008) and bleeding (P=0.002) occurred significantly more often in the study group compared with the control group. In a study by Rosen et al (25), significantly higher postoperative complication and mortality rates were also observed in patients receiving intraperitoneal mitomycin bound to activated carbon particles compared with the surgical control group (35 vs. 16.0%; 11 vs. 2.0%, respectively), thus the protocol committee decided to stop further recruitment of patients into that particular study. However, the incidence of surgical complications was only 8.1% in the present study, which was much lower than that in the above-mentioned studies.…”
