Peritoneal Carcinomatosis from Gastric Cancer: A Multi-Institutional Study of 159 Patients Treated by Cytoreductive Surgery Combined with Perioperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Abstract: The therapeutic approach combining cytoreductive surgery with PIC for patients with gastric carcinomatosis may achieve long-term survival in a selected group of patients (limited and resectable PC). The high mortality rate underlines this necessarily strict selection that should be reserved to experienced institutions involved in the management of PC and gastric surgery.

“…Extended PC necessarily requires more extensive surgery, longer OT time, greater blood loss and consequently is associated with higher complication rates. In certain disease types like peritoneal metastases of colorectal and gastric origin, a high PCI (PCI > 17 for colorectal and PCI > 12 for gastric) is associated with a poorer overall survival as well [43,44]. In these settings, intraoperative assessment of the PCI and experience of surgeon probably represent the better way to select patients for CRS and HIPEC and limiting post-operative mortality and morbidity.…”

“…[33,34] It is also shown benefit for gastric cancer with limited peritoneal spread and has been the only modality that has the potential to prolong survival in this sub group of patients with a very poor prognosis otherwise. [35,36].…”

“…PC has been estimated to be responsible for 60% of all gastric cancer-associated mortalities, with peritoneal metastases in these patients considered terminal (6,20,21). Therapy consists mainly of palliative chemotherapy; long-term survival is considered poor, since systemic chemotherapy agents are unlikely to reach cytotoxic concentrations in peritoneal nodules (22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27).…”
