Isolated hyperthermic liver perfusion offers benefits for specific liver metastases, though more research is needed. Current uses include gaining knowledge and treating uveal melanoma, colorectal, and ovarian cancers without extrahepatic growth.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hepatology
  • Therapeutic Research

Background:

  • Isolated hyperthermic liver perfusion (IHPL) is an investigational therapy bridging standard and experimental treatments.
  • While IHPL shows potential benefits, comprehensive scientific evidence is still developing.
  • Its role is considered transitional, requiring further validation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define current indications for IHPL in managing liver metastases.
  • To highlight areas where IHPL may offer distinct clinical advantages.
  • To recommend further research for knowledge acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing data and clinical observations regarding IHPL.
  • Identification of specific patient populations and cancer types where IHPL is considered.

  • Proposal for a multicenter study to enhance understanding and evidence.

    • Main Results:

    • IHPL is currently indicated for gaining knowledge about its efficacy.
    • It is considered for nonresectable liver metastases from uveal melanoma, colorectal carcinoma, and ovarian cancer, provided no extrahepatic growth is evident.
    • Symptomatic relief in hepatic metastases from endocrine tumors is another indication.

    Conclusions:

    • IHPL is a transitional therapy with incomplete scientific evidence but shows promise.
    • Further investigation, particularly through a multicenter study, is recommended to solidify its role and indications.
    • Current applications focus on specific nonresectable liver metastases and symptom management.
