[Preoperative Prognostic Factors in CRS plus HIPEC for Patients with Peritoneal Dissemination of Colorectal Cancer]

Peritoneal dissemination of colorectal cancer has the poorest prognosis among metastatic sites, with an average overall survival of less than 6 months. Various treatment methods have been reported for these patients, and recently there have been several reports showing the usefulness of cytoreductive surgery(CRS)combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). However, the studies on this treatment are limited. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed cases of CRS plus HIPEC. Twenty-one patients who underwent CRS plus HIPEC at Tokyo Medical University Hospital and Toda Central General Hospital between August 2014 and December 2017 were included in this study. The long-term and short-term survival groups were analyzed separately, and predictors of preoperative treatment efficacy were examined. The surgical approach was open in 16 cases and laparoscopic in 5 cases. Complete resection was achieved in 10 of these patients. Postoperative complications occurred in 6 patients. There were no deaths within 90 days of surgery. The median overall survival was 17.0 months, and the 1-year survival rate was 65%. Median progression-free survival was 11.0 months. In a multivariate analysis predicting long-term versus short-term survival groups, sex, primary tumor location, and P factor were independent predictors of treatment response. CRS plus HIPEC therapy is considered an effective treatment option. The predictors of preoperative treatment response include sex, primary tumor location, and P factor.
