Cytoreduction with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy: an appraisal of outcomes and cost at a newly established peritoneal malignancy program - 24/08/16
Abstract |
Background |
Outcome measures after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) for peritoneal carcinomatosis in established centers are well defined. However, results from newly emerging US centers have not been reported.
Methods |
This is a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of patients with peritoneal malignancies undergoing CRS/HIPEC.
Results |
Fifty-six patients underwent exploratory laparotomy with 36 receiving CRS/HIPEC over 36 months. The median peritoneal cancer index score was 18, and the cytoreduction 0/1 rate was 92%. Postoperative major morbidity was 16.7% with one perioperative death. The median length of hospital stay and intensive care unit days were 9 and 3 days, respectively. Disease-free survival in high-grade vs low-grade tumors was 12.6 and 31.0 months (P, .03), respectively. Average direct cost for patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC was $25,917.
Conclusions |
Our emerging center's short-term results are comparable with established programs with a trend toward more selective intraoperative judgment on who undergoes CRS/HIPEC.
