Filter by:Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal peroperative chemotherapy (HIPEC), indicated for patients with peritoneal metastases from digestive or gynecological malignancies alike, demonstrates a considerable impact on hemostatic metabolism, both on platelet and on coagulation level. The potential hemostatic interference in CRS and HIPEC is phase dependent. This study demonstrates the combined use of ROTEM (rotational thromboelastometry), PACT (platelet activation test) and CAT (thrombin generation test) assays during CRS and HIPEC with a follow-up of 7 days postoperative.
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a promising therapy for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of various origins. Rather than the pharmacokinetic advantage, the uptake of chemotherapy by tumor tissue has been proposed as the best pharmacologic endpoint to assure the efficacy of HIPEC. The primary endpoints of the present phase II randomized study are to test whether the increased intra abdominal pressure (IAP) during HIPEC could: - enhance the penetration of cisplatin into the residual neoplastic and normal tissues; - elicit changes on pharmacokinetic advantage of cisplatin. Secondary endpoints are to evaluate the: - impact of high IAP on intraoperatory hemodynamic and respiratory parameters; - impact on short-term surgical outcomes (in hospital stay, morbidity, mortality). Patients affected by PC from colorectal cancer or pseudomyxoma peritonei, submitted to complete cytoreduction (residual disease <2.5mm) would be eligible for the study. HIPEC will be performed using closed abdomen technique and cisplatin + mitomycin-C. Patients will be randomly assigned to HIPEC with low IAP (8-12 mmHg) or high IAP (18-22 mmHg). IAP will be measured using bladder catheter. High IAP will be obtained increasing the volume of perfusate. Thirty-eight patients (19 in each study groups) will be enrolled in 30 months. The randomized groups will be stratified according to tumor type.
Despite advances in the management of and changes in clinical practice, little is known about the epidemiology, patterns of care and outcomes of rare peritoneal surface malignancies patients in France. In order to better understand the characteristics of rare peritoneal surface malignancies and to evaluate treatment strategies, the RENAPE registry aims at the collection of data from patients presenting with a rare peritoneal surface malignancy in France. Data will be entered prospectively in a specifically designed and secured web database. All RENAPE's centres and physicians are invited to register patients with a rare peritoneal surface malignancy diagnosis and to participate to the registry. Data will be evaluated within regular time frames, focusing on types of rare peritoneal surface malignancies, treatment modalities and patient outcomes (e.g. survival, recurrence), thereby contributing to the better understanding of these rare cancers.
This phase II trial studies nivolumab and ipilimumab in treating patients with rare tumors. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

This study analyzes the gastrointestinal microbiome of appendiceal cancer patients with peritoneal spread scheduled to undergo cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC). Participants will provide fecal samples pre- and post-operatively.
The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of antibiotic therapy on the disease progression and overall survival of patients with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP).
The goal of this survey of international HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) surgeons is to determine their knowledge of and attitudes towards the nutritional support needs of HIPEC patients and what their practice patterns are with this patient population.
The aim of this study is to identify biomarkers of disease recurrence and prognosis to optimize patient selection for treatment with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and through animal models to explore different treatment strategies for peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM).
This is a clinical study investigating the new treatment of surgery combined with intraperitoneal mitomycin-C for patients with gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to the peritoneal (abdominal cavity) surface. Mitomycin-C to be used in this procedure is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)for many different cancers including gastrointestinal cancer. Giving mitomycin C via the intraperitoneal route is not FDA approved and is an investigation therapy. Cytoreductive surgery plus intraperitoneal chemotherapy can be offered as standard of care outside of a clinical trial. However, since this is an unproven and potentially more effective but a more toxic approach, the investigators are performing this procedure under an IRB approved clinical trial in order to better evaluate the risks and benefits of this approach. A standardized, evidence-based approach is currently lacking for patients with peritoneal surface malignancy from gastrointestinal origin. A clinical trial with surgical quality assurance and modern hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy incorporating critical assessment of disease burden, determinants of complete cytoreduction, treatment-related toxicity, quality of life and survival is imperative. Theoretically, cytoreductive surgery is performed to treat macroscopic disease, and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is used to treat microscopic residual disease with the objective of removing disease completely in a single procedure.
Appendiceal cancer is a rare disease that does not cause many symptoms. As such, doctors are not sure if chemotherapy actually has an effect on the disease. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn more about the effects that chemotherapy may have on appendiceal cancer.
