PURPOSE Cytoreductive surgery combined with intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been established as the standard treatment for selected patients with peritoneal malignancy. The purpose of the study was the presentation of the 10- year experience with cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal and appendiceal origin. METHODS Cli...

Background: Primary treatment for gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination is systemic chemotherapy because the effectiveness of cytoreductive surgery remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of cytoreductive surgery with systemic chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination. Methods: From 2007 to 2014, 40 patients with peritoneal disseminated ...

Cytoreductive surgery plus hypertermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has emerged as a major comprehensive treatment of peritoneal malignancies and is currently the standard of care for appendiceal epithelial neoplasms and pseudomyxoma peritonei syndrome as well as malignant peritoneal mesothelioma. Unfortunately, there are some worldwide variations of the cytoreductive surgery and hypertermic in...

OBJECTIVE Extramedullary plasmacytomas are rare. Ovarian plasmacytomas, for which treatment options vary, are more unique and even more rare. We will consider the option of optimal cytoreductive surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy consisting of carboplatin (AUC-2) to prevent massive ascites and pleural effusion. CASE REPORT We report a case of ovarian plasmacytoma in a 35-year-old woman...

HYPOTHESIS The most common cause of palliative resection and recurrence in gastric cancer is peritoneal seeding. This study evaluates the efficacy of intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia after cytoreductive surgery in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis arising from gastric cancer. DESIGN Prospective clinical trial. SETTING Surgical department at a university academic hospital. PATIENTS ...

BACKGROUND Standard therapy for advanced epithelial ovarian cancer now includes primary cytoreductive surgery followed by combination chemotherapy. Optimal primary debulking is associated with improved clinical response rates to primary chemotherapy as well as longer overall survival. The benefits of secondary cytoreductive surgery for persistent or recurrent ovarian cancer have not been as cle...

Objective: To investigate the therapeutic effect of secondary cytoreductive surgery in the patients with low grade serous ovarian cancer and to analyze the influence of the postoperative quality of life. Method: We collected the clinical data of patients with low grade serous carcinoma who underwent secondary cytoreductive surgery in our hospital from January 2003 to January 2015, and performed...
