Peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal or appendiceal origin: Correlation of preoperative CT with intraoperative findings and evaluation of interobserver agreement

Abstract: In colorectal cancer, CT detection of peritoneal carcinomatosis is moderate and of individual peritoneal tumor deposits poor. Interobserver differences are statistically significant. Therefore, preoperative CT seems not to be a reliable tool for detection of presence, size, and location of peritoneal tumor implants in view of treatment planning in patients with colorectal cancer.

“…In the remaining patients, the abdominal cavity was usually screened for peritoneal carcinomatosis by various imaging modalities such as CT scanning, but these studies are all known for their moderate 60-79% sensitivity in diagnosing peritoneal carcinomatosis. [16][17][18][19] Indeed, patients older than 80 years exhibited a smaller risk of presenting with peritoneal carcinomatosis. However, this does not explain the significant higher risk of presenting with peritoneal carcinomatosis at a younger age, especially younger than 60 years, for which we do not have a straightforward explanation.…”

“…Although ct was not, in the past, very accurate in depicting peritoneal tumour deposits 16 , modern contrast-enhanced multislice ct is regarded as the fundamental imaging modality, and magnetic resonance imaging, positionemission tomography, laparoscopy, and serum tumour markers can be taken into consideration but are not considered essential 17 . Computed tomography enteroclysis provides information about small-bowel and mesenterium involvement 18 .…”

“…However, the sensitivity and specificity at the peritoneal surfaces of the small bowel and its mesentery are not sufficient (Raptopoulos & Gourtsigiannis, 2001;Gonzalez-Moreno et al, 2009;de Bree et al, 2004). Disease at the small bowel constitutes a sentinel, limiting criterion in the decision making process involved cytoreduction because sufficient length of small bowel must remain in place to allow for adequate oral nutrition in the future.…”

“…Once the extent of peritoneal malignancy at the small bowel is the limit of cytoreductive surgery, the evaluation of the small bowel is a crucial component in the preoperative imaging assessment. Experience tells us that even the most sophisticated CT technology usually underestimates actual small bowel involvement revealed at surgical exploration (Gonzalez-Moreno et al, 2009;de Bree et al, 2004). Implants of less than 1 cm in size are detected with sensitivity 25-50% when helical-CT is used (Gonzalez-Moreno et al, 2009;de Bree et al, 2004).…”
