objective: the goal of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of intraperitoneal (jp) cisplatin as consolidation treatment, in epithelial ovarian cancer patients with pathologically negative surgical reassessment, following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. methods: this study included 22 patients with figo stage (iic- iv) epithelial ovarian cancer (eoc) which had no evidence of disease a...

The AGO Kommission Ovar already published a statement in 2013, warning about the uncritical use of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) outside controlled studies. This statement has now been updated after the most recent literature was reviewed by AGO Kommission Ovar, the AGO Study Group, NOGGO, AGO Austria and AGO Switzerland. The authors conclude that HIPEC remains experimental....

The role of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) in the treatment of Pseudomyxoma peritonei is debated by clinicians. We report the case of a patient who had multiple episodes of short-interval disease recurrence following debulking surgery, and only achieved long-term remission with the addition of HIPEC. A review of the relevant literature is presented.

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) for patients with gastric cancer and to compare effects between different regimens of IPC. METHOD Randomized controlled trials comparing the effects of surgery plus intraperitoneal chemotherapy with surgery alone or comparing the efficacy between different regimens of intraperitoneal chemotherapy were searche...

Cytoreduction followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a treatment option for peritoneal surface malignancies in The Netherlands. This treatment has been available for more than 10 years. Therefore, long-term results on survival and quality of life can now be studied. With these results, the true long-term benefits of this new management strategy can be determined.

BACKGROUND Peritoneal dissemination of gastric cancer is still a dismal disease and has extremely poor prognosis even with systemic intensive chemotherapy. However, intraperitoneal chemotherapy using paclitaxel has recently shown good results. In order to perform optimal intraperitoneal chemotherapy, laparoscopic examination is necessary to assess the condition of peritoneal disseminated lesion...

Background; Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is associated with improved survival for patients with abdominal malignancies peritoneal dissemination .This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Education program on improving patient reported recovery profile post Hyperthermia Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Peritoneal Carcinomatosis .Design: Quas...
