Intraperitoneal chemotherapy using Mitomycin-C effectively managed malignant ascites in three out of four patients, avoiding repeat treatments and side effects. This approach offers a promising option for ascites management.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Context:

  • Malignant ascites is a common complication of advanced cancers.
  • Effective management of malignant ascites remains a clinical challenge.
  • Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a targeted treatment strategy.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal Mitomycin-C for malignant ascites.
  • To assess the need for repeat chemotherapy treatments.

Summary:

  • Four patients with malignant ascites underwent peritoneal lavage and Mitomycin-C (20 mg/m²) infusion via a Seldinger catheter.
  • One patient expired due to disease progression.
  • The remaining three patients showed sustained response for 3-7 months without requiring further chemotherapy or experiencing complications.
