Intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal metastases : an expert opinion
Introduction: The rationale for intraperitoneal (IP) drug delivery for patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) is based on the pharmacokinetic advantage resulting from the peritoneal-plasma barrier, and on the potential to adequately treat small, poorly

Peritoneal carcinomatosis [PDF]
Several gastrointestinal and gynecological malignancies have the potential to disseminate and grow in the peritoneal cavity. The occurrence of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) has been shown to significantly decrease overall survival in patients with liver

Intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy in ovarian cancer
We investigated the effect of intraperitoneal hyperthermic perfusion chemotherapy as consolidation therapy in stage IIIB-IIIC ovarian cancer, following cytoreductive surgery and systemic chemotherapy (cisplatin-cyclophosphamide--six cycles). Disease-free survival, overall survival, and side effects were compared with a control group of patients who ...

Role of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in ovarian cancer [PDF]
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), has the highest worldwide mortality of all gynecological tumors, in 75% of cases is diagnosed in advanced stages. Despite of treatments with maximal cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and platinum-based chemotherapy (CT), approximately 70% of patients with advancedstage disease relapse within 18 months, given this high number ...

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy for gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis: is HIPEC the only answer? [PDF]
Gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis is notorious for its dismal prognosis. While the pathophysiology of peritoneal dissemination is still controversial, the rapid downhill course is universal.

Preclinical evaluation of local prolonged release of paclitaxel from gelatin microspheres for the prevention of recurrence of peritoneal carcinomatosis in advanced ovarian cancer [PDF]
Patients with advanced ovarian cancer develop recurrence despite initial treatment response to standard treatment of surgery and intravenous/intraperitoneal (IP) chemotherapy, partly due to a limited peritoneal exposure time of chemotherapeutics ...

Single Center Experience With Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy [PDF]
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been proposed for controlling peritoneal seeding metastasis in some kinds of cancers, including those of colorectal origin, but their safety and oncological benefits are subjects of debate.
