Filter by:This study aimed to address the issue of peritoneal metastasis (PM) following the rupture of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its adverse impact on patient prognosis. Clinical data from 522 patients with ruptured HCC who underwent surgery at seven different medical centers were collected and analyzed. Machine learning models were employed for analysis and prediction.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is featured by the spontaneously rupture when suffering severe cirrhosis and intratumoral overpressure. It is a fatal complication with an acute mortality. Importantly, it is served as an independent risk factor for peritoneal metastasis (PM) of HCC with poor prognosis. The systematic agents effective to extrahepatic lesions confers modest efficacy towards PM. HIPEC, as a novel strategy, has been proved by overwhelming studies that it is effective to peritoneal malignant tumors. However, there is absence of prospective study of HIPEC efficacy towards HCC.
This is a clinical Study to evaluate the effect, survival benefit and safety of intraperitoneal docetaxel combined with oral S-1 for advanced gastric cancer with malignant ascites.
There is a paucity of data on the histopathological response of peritoneal tumor deposits from colorectal cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Particularly, no prospective assessment of chemotherapy-associated histopathological response within the peritoneum has been performed so far. Therefore, there is an urgent need to conduct a clinical trial aimed at prospectively assessing the histopathological response within the peritoneum in patients with peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer. Recently, Loupakis et al. reported that the triplet regimen of 5-fluorouracil, oxaliplatin and irinotecan (FOLFOXIRI) in combination with bevacizumab significantly improved median progression-free survival in metastatic colorectal cancer patients from 9.7 to 12.1 months as compared with fluorouracil, leucovorin, and irinotecan (FOLFIRI) + bevacizumab. In view of these data, it is likely that FOLFOXIRI + bevacizumab will also lead to a significant improvement of the histopathological response within the peritoneum of patients with peritoneal metastasis from colorectal cancer (pcCRC) as compared with previous standard chemotherapy. The investigators hypothesize that FOLFOXIRI + bevacizumab will induce a pCR or major response in peritoneal tumor deposits in >30% of patients (taking the response rate to FOLFOX- or FOLFIRI-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy from the published literature as a reference).
Ovarian cancer is a gynecological cancer with a high risk of mortality. This is because the diagnosis is often been made in an advanced cancer stage with metastases throughout the peritoneum. An international study led by Prof. Dr. Ignace Vergote (Gynaecological Oncology) showed for the first time that patients in such an advanced stage of ovarian cancer who received first three neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy regimens followed by interval debulking surgery, and in turn followed by at least 3 treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy, had fewer complications than patients treated with primary debulking surgery followed by chemotherapy. Moreover, the final survival rate in both groups seemed to be similar. The most important prognostic marker appeared to be whether patients with primary or interval surgery no longer had a visible residual tumor after the treatment. Patients who had only small metastases in the peritoneum, seemed to be better treated with primary surgery (neoadjuvant Vergote I, et al Chemotherapy or Primary Surgery in Stage IIIC or IV Ovarian Crystallising, N Engl J Med 363 (1910): 943 - 953). Each patient with suspected advanced ovarian cancer should undergo a preoperative evaluation where they assess which of the two treatments is the best option. The aim of the study is to assess whole body diffusion weighted imaging (WB-DWI) as a non-invasive method, in patients with confirmed ovarian cancer in the presence of peritoneal metastases. This is to assess which of the two treatments (primary debulking surgery followed chemotherapy versus platinum-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery, followed in turn by chemotherapy) is the best option for a particular type of patient.
