          Abstract

          Background

          Colorectal peritoneal metastases (PM) are often diagnosed in an advanced disease stage. Cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) improve survival of patients with colorectal PM, although most benefit is seen in patients with limited peritoneal disease. Advanced imaging techniques might improve the detection of PM, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and improved cytoreduction. This prospective clinical trial compared three advanced techniques with conventional white-light imaging for the detection of colorectal PM: narrow-band imaging (NBI), near-infrared indocyanine green fluorescent imaging (NIR-ICG), and spray-dye chromoendoscopy (SDCE).

          Methods

          Patients with colorectal PM were prospectively included. Prior to cytoreduction and HIPEC, all abdominal regions were inspected with white-light imaging, NBI, NIR-ICG, and SDCE during exploratory laparoscopy. Primary endpoints were sensitivity and specificity for the detection of PM, using pathological examination of biopsied lesions as the reference standard. The safety of all techniques was assessed.

          Results

          Between May 2016 and March 2018, four different techniques were analyzed in 28 patients, resulting in 169 biopsies. Sensitivity for the detection of PM significantly increased from 80.0% with white light to 96.0% with NBI ( p = 0.008), without loss of specificity (74.8% vs. 73.1%, respectively, p = 0.804). The use of NIR-ICG and SDCE was discontinued after 10 patients had undergone treatment because the lesions were not fluorescent using NIR-ICG, and because SDCE did not visualize the whole peritoneum. No adverse events relating to the imaging techniques occurred.

          Conclusion

          NBI substantially increased the detection of PM. This method is safe and could improve the detection of metastatic lesions and help optimize cytoreduction in patients with colorectal PM.

          Peritoneal colorectal carcinomatosis treated with surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy: retrospective analysis of 523 patients from a multicentric French study.

          PURPOSE Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer traditionally is considered a terminal condition. Approaches that combine cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (PIC) have been developed recently. The purpose of this study was to assess early and long-term survival in patients treated with that strategy. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective-cohort, multicentric study from French-speaking countries was performed. All consecutive patients with PC from colorectal cancer who were treated with CRS and PIC (with or without hyperthermia) were included. Patients with PC of appendiceal origin were excluded. Results The study included 523 patients from 23 centers in four French-speaking countries who underwent operation between 1990 and 2007. The median follow-up was 45 months. Mortality and grades 3 to 4 morbidity at 30 days were 3% and 31%, respectively. Overall median survival was 30.1 months. Five-year overall survival was 27%, and five-year disease-free survival was 10%. Complete CRS was performed in 84% of the patients, and median survival was 33 months. Positive independent prognostic factors identified in the multivariate analysis were complete CRS, PC that was limited in extent, no invaded lymph nodes, and the use of adjuvant chemotherapy. Neither the grade of disease nor the presence of liver metastases had a significant prognostic impact. CONCLUSION This combined treatment approach against PC achieved low postoperative morbidity and mortality, and it provided good long-term survival in patients with peritoneal scores lower than 20. These results should improve in the future, because the different teams involved will gain experience. This approach, when feasible, is now considered the gold standard in the French guidelines.

            Evaluation of preoperative computed tomography in estimating peritoneal cancer index in colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis.

            Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) has been recognized as an independent prognostic indicator for long-term outcomes. It also influences the likelihood of complete cytoreduction, another principal determinant of long-term survival. The objective of this study was to evaluate the utility of preoperative CT in estimating PCI during the patient selection process. The efficacy of CT in demonstrating peritoneal disease was evaluated by comparing the radiological and intraoperative lesion size and PCI scores using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Tumor distribution was assessed in each abdominopelvic region as tumor present versus absent. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were calculated in each abdominopelvic region. Overall, where CT identifies the presence of disease, it portrayed lesion size accurately in 60%, underestimated in 33%, and overestimated in 7% of cases. Analysis of individual abdominopelvic regions demonstrated a statistically significant difference between radiologically and intraoperatively visualized lesion sizes (P < 0.05) except in the epigastrium, left upper, and left flank regions. The sensitivity of CT in detecting peritoneal implants was influenced by lesion size. Small nodules (<0.5 cm) were visualized on CT with only a sensitivity of 11%, which is in contrast to 94% with nodules exceeding 5 cm. Radiological PCI scores significantly underestimated intraoperative PCI (P < 0.001). This study demonstrated that the sensitivity of CT in detecting peritoneal implants was influenced by lesion size and CT PCI significantly underestimated clinical PCI. The role of CT in refining patient selection and improving prognosis remains to be closely evaluated.

              Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion versus systemic chemotherapy alone for colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis.

              Survival benefit of cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion was demonstrated by a prospective randomized trial for colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis. Because of a recent substantial improvement in chemotherapy, the authors analyzed treatment options of colorectal carcinomatosis in the current era. Consecutive patients with colorectal carcinomatosis treated by cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion from 2001 to 2007 were included. The control group patients with carcinomatosis received contemporary chemotherapy alone. Overall survival was the primary endpoint. All patients underwent systemic chemotherapy. The cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion group (n=67) was similar to the control group (n=38) in sex, tumor grade, site of tumor origin, T status, and N status. The control group was, however, older (59 vs 51 years; P<.001). Median survival measured from the diagnosis of peritoneal disease was longer with cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (34.7 months vs 16.8 months; P<.001). Presence of liver metastasis was a significant negative predictor of survival (hazard ratio, 2.13). The authors concluded that 1) contemporary chemotherapy is associated with prolonged survival among patients with carcinomatosis as compared with historical controls, and 2) addition of cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion to modern chemotherapy regimens may significantly prolong survival. Cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion and systemic chemotherapy are not competitive therapies, and they both have a role in a multidisciplinary approach to patients with carcinomatosis.
