An overview and update of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in ovarian cancer

Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2020
Introduction: Despite, the strong rationale and evidence of the benefit of postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy in advanced ovarian cancer, it has not been widely adopted, mainly due to its high morbidity and logistical difficulties. Intraoperative

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Advances in Anesthesia, 2005
Cancer treatment frequently requires a multimodality approach, involving surgical resection(s), radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Advanced surgical approaches allow for the combination of two of these, offering patients intraoperative radiotherapy with surgical resection or intraoperative chemotherapy targeted and limited to a particular body region. The

Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy and Immunotherapy

1988
1. The predictive model is validated empirically; a kinetic advantage for i.p. administration of certain antineoplastic drugs exist. 2. The concentrations achieved in the peritoneum are orders of magnitude greater than those found in the plasma, so rate-limiting systemic toxicities may be avoided. 3.

Concepts in intraperitoneal chemotherapy

Seminars in Oncology Nursing, 1987
NTRAPERITONEAL (IP) chemotherapy is the administration of chemotherapeutic agents via a catheter into the peritoneal cavity. The chemotherapy is placed in a large volume of fluid, usually 2 L, and infused into the abdominal cavity where it remains for a specified amount of time; then it is usually drained back out the catheter.

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy for ovarian cancer

Current Oncology Reports, 2003
Intraperitoneal chemotherapy provides a means by which high concentrations of drugs and long durations of tissue exposure can be attained at the peritoneal surface. It has been studied widely in ovarian cancer, a disease in which intra-abdominal progression remains the major source of morbidity and mortality.

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy for ovarian cancer

Current Opinion in Oncology, 2006
Intraperitoneal chemotherapy for ovarian cancer is based on sound pharmacological principles and is technically feasible. There is mounting evidence, bolstered by a recent randomized trial, that in certain patients, this route of delivery may be superior to traditional intravenous chemotherapy.

Intraperitoneal chemotherapy for colorectal cancer

Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2001
AbstractThe peritoneal surface remains an important failure site for patients with colorectal cancer. Peritoneal metastases of colorectal cancer are at present considered equal to distant metastatic disease. Consequently, peritoneal carcinomatosis is treated with systemic chemotherapy and surgery only to palliate complications such as obstruction ...

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

2017
Peritoneal metastasis in abdominal malignancies is associated with a dismal prognosis. In the past, it was considered inoperable and the patient was considered a candidate for palliative chemotherapy alone. The outcome of systemic chemotherapy is poor with the average survival being 6–8 months.
