Long-term survival after intraperitoneal chemotherapy with paclitaxel-cisplatin for recurrent primary peritoneal cancer resistant to multiple lines of intravenous chemotherapy [PDF]
The long-term survival of heavily pretreated patients with primary peritoneal cancer (PPC) is uncommon. Here, we report on a patient with PPC refractory to multiple lines of intravenous chemotherapy, namely, a combined regimen of paclitaxel and ...

Cytokines in peritoneal fluid of ovarian neoplasms
The aim of this study was to evaluate cytokine levels (IL-2, IL-8, TNF-α, IL-5, IL-6 and IL-10) in the peritoneal fluid in non-neoplastic tumours, benign ovarian neoplasms and malignant ovarian neoplasms. Peritoneal fluid or ascites was collected from 117 patients with neoplastic and non-neoplastic ovarian tumours.

Treatment of peritoneal surface neoplasms with intraperitoneal chemotherapy in hyperthermia [PDF]
Abstract Effective treatment of peritoneal surface neoplasms is possible through the simultaneous use of cytoreductive surgery with intraperitoneal chemotherapy in hyperthermia. It is successfully performed in patients with peritoneal pseudomyxoma, mesothelioma, as well as a limited and resectable peritoneal carcinomatosis in the course

However, PD has several important drawbacks: small solute clearance is relatively low compared to hemodialysis and technique survival is limited.
