- Objective To evaluate the perfusate and systemic kinetics of oxaliplatin during hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) using a selective analytical technique. Methods HIPEC was carried out in eight patients by the open abdomen coliseum technique for 30 min at 41.5-43 degrees C with an average of 427 mg/m(2) of oxaliplatin in 5% dextrose solution. Blood and perfusate samples were collected during the perfusion. Additional blood samples were taken up to 2 h after the end of perfusion. The analysis was performed by liquid chromatography and post-column derivatization with N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate using microwave heating. Results The mean elimination half-life of oxaliplatin in the perfusate was 29.5 min (range 21.1-41.2 min) and in the peripheral circulation 24.7 min (range 21.7-27.7 min). The ratio of the areas under the time concentration curve in perfusate and blood was 12.8 +/- 2.9. Conclusion The systemic exposure of oxaliplatin measured after HIPEC using a selective analytical technique is considerably lower than previously reported results obtained by atomic absorption spectroscopy.

- Patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer have a poor prognosis. Aggressive treatment by debulking surgery and intraperitoneal (i.p.) chemotherapy has been suggested as an alternative therapy. However, the drug penetrance into the tumour in relation to the administration route and surgical reduction of the tumour is not well known. We compared locoregional administration with intravenous (i.v.) injection. Thirty-four in-bred rats with peritoneal metastases were randomly allocated into eight groups and injected with 14C-labelled 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) either through the i.v. or i.p. route, with or without a preceding tumour debulking, and were sacrificed after 2 or 8 h. Tumour radioactivity was visualised by autoradiography and quantified by a computer-based image analysis. After 8 h, 19 debulked and i.p.-injected tumours had a higher drug uptake, 63.2+/-28 (mean+/-standard deviation (SD)) kBq/g than 62 native i.p.-injected tumours (32.8+/-14) or 22 debulked and i.v.-injected tumours (18.5+/-18, P=0.002). After 8 h, 9 small tumours (/=median 571 pixels), 16 debulked and i.p.-injected tumours had a higher radioactivity (drug uptake) (150.7+/-63) at 2 h than 49 i.p.-injected native tumours (48.5+/-59) or 11 reduced and i.v.-injected tumours (19.9+/-13, P=0.03). At 8 h, 10 debulked and i.p.-injected tumours had a higher drug uptake (50.3+/-24) than 33 native and i.p.-injected (30.8+/-10) or 14 debulked and i.v.-injected tumours (16.0+/-19, P=0.001). These results indicate that a debulking procedure and locoregional treatment of peritoneal metastases is associated with an increased level of 5-FU in the tumours.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background. In selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) originating from colorectal cancer (CRC) the high dosage of oxaliplatin (460 mg/m(2)) is recommended for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which may be a health risk to those administering the drug. The aim of this study was to determine the risk of platinum (Pt) exposure for the two main people handling and administering the cytotoxic agent during HIPEC. Methods. Samples of blood and urine were collected from one male surgeon and one female perfusionist during oxaliplatin-based HIPEC treatment with open abdomen coliseum technique on six consecutive patients with PC from CRC. Results. All blood samples analysed were below the detection limit of <0.05 nmol/L Pt, and the urine samples were all below the detection limit of <0.03 nmol/L Pt. Conclusions. There appears to be little or no risk of Pt exposure during HIPEC when the recommended protective garment is used and the safety considerations are followed.

Work Environment in the Operating Room during Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy : Factors Influencing Choice of Protective Equipment
- 2011
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a common metastatic manifestation of both gastrointestinal and gynecological malignancies. Curative modes of treatment are cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with intraoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Surgeons and operating room (OR) staff attending these procedures are exposed to chemotherapy and electrocautery smoke. Heated chemotherapy (HIPEC) may vaporize and become inhaled by those administering it and, moreover, large quantities of electrocautery smoke may also be inhaled by surgeons and OR staff, with unknown adverse health effects. The general aim of this thesis was to investigate the work environment during major abdominal surgery and HIPEC, and to map the factors influencing the behavior of OR nurses and surgeons when choosing protective equipment against electrocautery smoke. To determine the presence of platinum, a total of 36 blood and 36 urine samples were collected from one surgeon and one perfusionist during six oxaliplatin-based HIPEC treatments (Paper I). Regarding electrocautery smoke, amounts of ultrafine particles (UFPs) in the smoke from 14 CRS procedures and 11 colorectal cancer (CRC) procedures were collected and compared (Paper II). Additionally, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were identified and quantified in electrocautery smoke during 40 CRS procedures (Paper III). Lastly, seven OR nurses and seven surgeons were interviewed individually to explore what factors influenced their behavior when choosing protective equipment against electrocautery smoke. The transcribed texts were analyzed with qualitative content analysis (Paper IV). All blood and urine samples were below the detection limit (Paper I). The amount of UFPs produced during CRS procedures was significantly higher than from CRC procedures (Paper II), and PAHs never exceeded Swedish occupational exposure limits (OELs) (Paper III). OR nurses and surgeons had a knowledge of electrocautery smoke and were aware of risks. However, external factors governed the use of protective equipment against electrocautery smoke (Paper IV). HIPEC with oxaliplatin seems to present no risk for treatment givers. However, the possible risks from exposure of cumulative amounts of UFPs and PAHs are still unknown. OR nurses’ and surgeons’ knowledge about the possible risks of electrocautery smoke, and the use of protective equipment, are therefore important.

- Background: This was a population-based cohort study to determine the incidence, prevalence and risk factors for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer. Methods: Prospectively collected data were obtained from the Regional Quality Registry. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was used for multivariable analysis of clinicopathological factors to determine independent predictors of PC. Results: All 11 124 patients with colorectal cancer in Stockholm County during 1995-2007 were included and followed until 2010. In total, 924 patients (8.3 per cent) had synchronous or metachronous PC. PC was the first and only localization of metastases in 535 patients (4.8 per cent). The prevalence of synchronous PC was 4.3 per cent (477 of 11 124). The cumulative incidence of metachronous PC was 4.2 per cent (447 of 10 646). Independent predictors for metachronous PC were colonic cancer (hazard ratio (HR) 1.77, 95 per cent confidence interval 1.31 to 2.39; P = 0.002 for right-sided colonic cancer), advanced tumour (T) status (HR 9.98, 3.10 to 32.11; P < 0.001 for T4), advanced node (N) status (HR 7.41, 4.78 to 11.51; P < 0.001 for N2 with fewer than 12 lymph nodes examined), emergency surgery (HR 2.11, 1.66 to 2.69; P < 0.001) and non-radical resection of the primary tumour (HR 2.75, 2.10 to 3.61; P < 0.001 for R2 resection). Patients aged > 70 years had a decreased risk of metachronous PC (HR 0.69, 0.55 to 0.87; P = 0.003). Conclusion: PC is common in patients with colorectal cancer and is associated with identifiable risk factors.

- AIM: To investigate the current status of peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) management, as well as the usage of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in mainland China. METHODS: A potentially curative therapeutic strategy for selecting patients with PC, known as "Techniques", consists of CRS in combination with HIPEC. A systemic search of published works and clinical trials was performed. Additional papers were retrieved by crosschecking references and obtaining information from Chinese oncologists and relevant conferences. One hundred and one papers and one registered clinical trial on HIPEC were included. RESULTS: A literature review identified 86 hospitals in 25 out of all 31 areas of mainland China that perform HIPEC. The earliest report included in our survey was published in 1993. Different approaches to HIPEC have been utilized, i.e. palliative, prophylactic, and possibly curative treatment. Only one center has consistently performed HIPEC according to the "Sugarbaker Protocol", which involves evaluating the extent of PC with peritoneal cancer index and the results of CRS with the completeness of cytoreduction. Positive preliminary results were reported: 7 of 21 patients with PC survived, free of tumors, during an 8-43-mo follow-up period. Hyperthermic strategies that include HIPEC have been practiced for a long time in mainland China, whereas the "Sugarbaker Protocol/Techniques" has been only rarely implemented in China. The Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International hosts a biannual workshop with the intent to train more specialists in this field and provide support for the construction of quality treatment centers, especially in developing countries like China, whose population is huge and has a dramatically increased incidence of cancer. CONCLUSION: To popularize Sugarbaker Protocol/Techniques in mainland China in PC management arising from gastric cancer or colorectal cancer will be the responsibility of the upcoming Chinese Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Wound dehiscence and incisional hernia are potentially serious complications following abdominal surgery, especially if performed through a midline incision. Although prophylactic reinforcement with on-lay mesh has been shown to reduce this risk, a permanent mesh carries the risk of seroma formation, infection, and persistent pain. The aim of this study was to assess the safety of a reabsorbable on-lay mesh to reinforce the midline suture in patients with high risk for wound dehiscence or incisional hernia.Method: Sixteen patients with three or more risk factors for wound dehiscence or incisional hernia were included. A TIGR® Matrix mesh, composed of a mixture of 40% copolymer fibers of polyglycolide, polylactide, and polytrimethylene carbonate and 60% copolymer fibers of polylactide and polytrimethylene carbonate, was placed on the aponeurosis with an overlap of five on either side and fixated with continuous monofilament polydioxanone suture. All postoperative complications were registered at clinical follow-up.Results: Mean follow-up was 9 months. One patient developed a seroma that needed drainage and antibiotic treatment. One patient had a wound infection that needed antibiotic treatment. There was no complication requiring a reoperation. No wound dehiscence or incisional hernia was seen.Conclusion: On-lay placement of TIGR® Matrix is safe and may provide a feasible way of reinforcing the suture line in patients with high risk for postoperative wound dehiscence or incisional hernia. Larger samples are required, however, if one is to draw any conclusion regarding the safety and effectiveness of this technique.
