- Background: Peritoneal cancer index (PCI) >20 is often seen as a contraindication for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) from colorectal cancer. The aim of this study was to compare the overall survival in colorectal PM patients with PCI >20 and PCI <= 20 treated with CRS and HIPEC to those having open-close/debulking procedure only.Methods: All patients with colorectal PM and intention to treat with CRS and HIPEC in Uppsala Sweden 2004-2017 were included. Patients scheduled for CRS and HIPEC were divided into three groups, PCI >20, PCI <= 20, and those not operated with CRS and HIPEC stated as open-close including those treated with palliative debulking.Results: Of 201 operations, 112 (56%) resulted in CRS and HIPEC with PCI <= 20, 45 (22%) in CRS and HIPEC with PCI >20 and 44 (22%) resulted in open-close/debulking. Median survival for CRS and HIPEC and PCI >20 was 20 months (95%CI 14-27 months) with 7% surviving longer than 5 years (n = 3). For CRS and HIPEC and PCI <= 20 the median survival was 33 months (95%CI 30-39 months) with 23% (n = 26) surviving >5years. The median survival for open-close was 9 months (95%CI 4-10 months), no one survived >5years.Conclusion: Patients with PM from colorectal cancer and PCI >20 that were treated with CRS and HIPEC experience a one year longer and doubled overall survival compared with open-close/debulking patients. In addition to PCI, more factors should be taken into account when a decision about proceeding with CRS or not is taken.

- Background:Secondary treatment of recurrent colorectal peritoneal metastases after previous cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is poorly investigated.Objectives:To evaluate the overall survival outcome of secondary (repeat) CRS + HIPEC compared to palliative treatment in recurrent peritoneal disease.Methods:Patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases treated with an index CRS + HIPEC and subsequently having recurrent peritoneal disease were identified from the prospective Swedish national HIPEC registry. Patients were divided into interventional group (secondary CRS + HIPEC) or palliative group. Multivariable logistic regression, propensity-score matching, and survival outcomes were calculated.Results:Among 575 patients who underwent complete CRS between 2010 and 2021, 208 (36 %) were diagnosed with a subsequent recurrent peritoneal disease. Forty-two patients (20 %) were offered secondary CRS + HIPEC. Propensity-score matching of secondary interventional cases with palliative cases succeeded in 88 % (n = 37) in which female sex, lower peritoneal cancer index at index surgery, longer disease-free interval, and absence of extra-peritoneal metastases were identified as the most relevant matching covariates. Median OS from date of recurrence was 38 months (95%CI 30-58) in the interventional group and 19 months (95%CI: 15-24) in the palliative group (HR 0.35 95%CI: 0.20-0.63, p = 0.0004). Sensitivity analyses confirmed the results. As reference, the median OS from index CRS + HIPEC in the whole colorectal registry (n = 575) was 41 months (95%CI: 38-45).Conclusion:After matching for relevant factors, the hazard ratio for death was significantly reduced in patients who were offered a secondary CRS + HIPEC procedure for recurrent peritoneal disease. Selection bias is inherent, but survival outcomes were comparable to those achieved after the initial procedure.

- BACKGROUND The implications of neutropenia after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) treatment have never been investigated. AIM To evaluate the occurrence of neutropenia and its effect on the risk of increased Clavien-Dindo morbidity as well as its effect on overall or disease-free survival. METHODS All patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases (1996-2015) completing cytoreductive surgery and oxaliplatin-based HIPEC treatment from a bi-institutional database (Uppsala and Sydney) were included in the study. Clavien-Dindo grade 3-4 morbidity differences between the neutropenia group vs non-neutropenia group were calculated and Kaplan-Meier curves with log rank test were rendered. Univariate and multivariable Cox regression models for disease-free survival were implemented. RESULTS Two hundred and forty-six patients were identified - 32 postoperative any-grade neutropenia patients and 214 non-neutropenia patients. The neutropenia group had more combination oxaliplatin + irinotecan treatment than the non-neutropenia group (66% vs 13%, P = 0.0001). The neutropenia group was not associated with increased Clavien-Dindo grade 3-4 morbidity. Median overall survival was 53 mo vs 37 mo for the neutropenia and non-neutropenia group, P = 0.07. Median disease-free survival was 16 mo vs 11 mo, respectively, P = 0.02. Neutropenia was an independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival with hazard ratio: 0.58, 95% confidence interval: 0.36-0.95, P = 0.03. CONCLUSION 13% of patients developed neutropenia which was not associated with increased Clavien-Dindo grade 3-4 morbidity. Neutropenia was an independent positive prognostic factor for disease-free survival and was associated with more intense HIPEC treatment. This is in direct contrast to the current paradigm of decreasing the treatment intensity.

- The importance of absent neoplastic epithelium in specimens from cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and prognostic value of histopathology without neoplastic epithelium in patients treated with CRS and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Data were extracted from medical records and histopathology reports for patients treated with initial CRS and HIPEC at Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden, between 2004 and 2012. Patients with inoperable disease and patients undergoing palliative non-CRS surgery were excluded from the study. Patients lacking neoplastic epithelium in surgical specimens from CRS, with or without mucin, were classified as "neoplastic epithelium absent" (NEA), and patients with neoplastic epithelium were classified as "neoplastic epithelium present" (NEP). The study observed NEA in 78 of 353 patients (22 %). Mucin was found in 28 of the patients with NEA. For low-grade appendiceal mucinous neoplasms and adenomas, the 5-year overall survival rate was 100 % for NEA and 84 % for NEP, and the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 100 % for NEA and 59 % for NEP. For appendiceal/colorectal adenocarcinomas (including tumors of the small intestine), the 5-year overall survival rate was 61 % for NEA and 38 % for NEP, and the 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 60 % for NEA and 14 % for NEP. Carcinoembryonic antigen level, peritoneal cancer index, and completeness of the cytoreduction score were lower in patients with NEA. A substantial proportion of patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC have NEA. These patients have a favorable prognosis and a decreased risk of recurrence. Differences in patient selection can affect the proportion of NEA and hence explain differences in survival rates between reported series.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Careful macroscopic assessment of surgical scars is needed to avoid routine scar resection during cytoreductive surgery (CRS) for peritoneal metastases (PM). This study aimed to analyze the correlation between macroscopically suspected and microscopically confirmed scar metastases (SMs), and to analyze the prognostic impact of not undergoing routine scar resection.Method: All patients with previous surgery, treated with CRS and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, for colorectal PM or pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), at Uppsala University Hospital in 2013–2021, were included. Macroscopic SMs in surgical reports were compared with histopathological analyses.Results: In total, 227 patients were included. Among colorectal PM patients (n = 156), SM was macroscopically suspected in 41 (26%) patients, and 63 (40%) underwent scar resection. SM was confirmed in 19 (30%). Among patients with macroscopic suspicion, 45% had confirmed SM (positive predictive value, PPV). A total of 1 of 23 (4%) patients with no macroscopic suspicion had SM (negative predictive value, NPV = 96%). Among the PMP patients (n = 71), SM was macroscopically suspected in 13 (18%), and 28 (39%) underwent scar resection, of whom 12 (43%) had SM. The PPV was 77%. Occult SM was found in 1 of 14 (NPV = 93%). Not undergoing routine scar resection did not affect recurrence-free survival (RFS, p = 0.2) or overall survival (OS, p = 0.1) in colorectal PM patients or PMP patients (RFS p = 0.7, OS p = 0.7).Conclusion: Occult SM is uncommon and scar resection does not affect RFS or OS. Therefore, macroscopically benign-appearing scars can be left without resection, though resection should be performed upon suspicion or uncertainty.

- Background: The greater omentum is routinely resected during cytoreductive surgery (CRS), but few studies have analyzed the rationale behind this. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of omental metastases (OM) and the correlation between macroscopically suspected and microscopically confirmed OM, in patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) or colorectal peritoneal metastases (PM).Method: All patients without previous omentectomy, treated with initial CRS and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for PMP or colorectal PM, at Uppsala University Hospital in 2013-2021, were included. Macroscopic OM in surgical reports was compared with histopathological analyses.Results: In all, 276 patients were included. In those with PMP, 112 (98%) underwent omentectomy and 67 (59%) had macroscopic suspicion of OM. In 5 (4%) patients, the surgeon was uncertain. Histopathology confirmed OM in 81 (72%). In patients with macroscopic suspicion, 96% had confirmed OM (positive predictive value, PPV). In patients with no suspicion, 24% had occult OM (negative predictive value, NPV = 76%). In patients with colorectal PM, 156 (96%) underwent omentectomy and 97 (60%) had macroscopic suspicion. For 5 (3%) patients, the surgeon was uncertain. OM was microscopically confirmed in 90 (58%). PPV was 85% and NPV was 89%. The presence of OM was a univariate risk factor for death in PMP (HR 3.62, 95%CI 1.08-12.1) and colorectal PM (HR 1.67, 95%CI 1.07-2.60), but not in multivariate analyses.Conclusion: OM was common and there was a high risk of missing occult OM in both PMP and colorectal PM. These results support the practice of routine omentectomy during CRS.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Selecting colorectal patients for HIPEC-surgery needs improvement. The study aim was to improve the colorectal peritoneal score (COREP) and to compare it with three other scores: peritoneal-surface disease-severity score (PSDS), colorectal-peritoneal metastases prognostic-surgical-score (COMPASS), and the CEA/PCI ratio.Method: Twelve preoperative factors were chosen to evaluate for COREP score modification. Criteria from logistical analyses were set to qualify for the modified COREP score (mCOREP). Odds ratios were used to assign score points for the eligible factors with open/close laparotomy prediction as endpoint. mCOREP was applied internally and compared with the original COREP, PSDS, COMPASS, and CEA/PCI ratio. Odds ratios, hazard ratios, and Kaplan-Meier curves were used for comparison.Results: Seven factors qualified for mCOREP: CEA, CA 19-9, CA-125, C-reactive protein, albumin, platelet count and signet-cell histology. mCOREP was superior to the original COREP. mCOREP and COMPASS scores were the only scores with independent prognostic value. The mCOREP had the best discriminatory ability between its prognostic groupings. mCOREP 11+had 9months survival with half of patients being open/close surgery.Conclusion: The mCOREP has successfully been simplified while still improving its prognostic ability. The mCOREP and COMPASS scores have independent prognostic value. Patients with mCOREP 11+may not benefit from treatment.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Few studies on long-term survival have been published since the new updated pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) classification was published in 2016. The aim was to investigate long-term survival according to the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI) classification and compare prognostic factors. Methods: From Uppsala University Hospital, consecutive patients referred for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) from 2004 to 2017 with peritoneal disease from non-carcinoid mucinous epithelial appendiceal neoplasms were included in the study. The peritoneal disease was divided into four groups: mucin only, low-grade mucinous carcinoma peritonei (MCP-1), high-grade (MCP-2), and high-grade with signet ring cells (MCP-3). Survival curves were rendered, and prognostic factors were compared. Results: The study included 223 patients: 36 with mucin only, 112 with MCP-1, 70 with MCP-2, and 5 with MCP-3. Thirty-eight patients had a palliative debulking or open/close procedure. The 5-and 10-year overall survival was 97% and 97% for mucin only, 83% and 70% for MCP-1, 69% and 49% for MCP-2, with no patients still under follow-up after 5 years in the MCP-3 group. In a multivariable analysis, completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score 2-3 and PSOGI class MCP-3 were significantly associated with lower survival. The 5-year overall survival in the palliative setting was 40% vs. 44% (MCP-1 vs. MCP-2, P>0.05) with median survival 51 vs. 53 months, respectively. Conclusions: The PSOGI classification of PMP provides a solid differentiation of prognostic groups after CRS/HIPEC treatment, but not in the palliative setting.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Simple Summary This study aimed to assess the prognostic role of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with epithelial appendiceal neoplasms with peritoneal metastases. The presence of CTCs may be used for the early detection of invasive cancer in this rare diagnosis. Our study is the first study to assess the potential value of CTCs in this specific group of patients.Abstract Appendiceal tumors are uncommon and, at times, discovered incidentally during histological examination. The histopathological classification of the disease is complex and has generated some controversy. The analysis of circulating tumor cells can be used for the early detection of metastatic potential. The aim of the present study was to examine the prognostic value of circulating tumor cells in patients with appendiceal tumors and peritoneal metastases. To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine CTCs in appendiceal tumors. We performed a prospective cohort study of consecutive patients treated with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy between 2015 and 2019 at a HIPEC referral center. In total, 31 patients were included in the analysis, and circulating tumor cells were detected in 15 patients (48%). CTC positivity was not associated with overall or recurrence-free survival, nor was it correlated with PCI score or histopathological grading. Surprisingly, however, CTCs were found in almost half the patients. The presence or quantities of these cells did not, on their own, predict systemic metastatic potential during the observed time, and they did not appear to significantly correlate with the oncological outcomes recorded.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Long-term survival for selected patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) from colorectal cancer (CRC) is possible when treated with cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). The objective of this study was to compare three different oxaliplatin-based (OX)-HIPEC regimens. Primary end-point was disease-free survival (DFS), and secondary endpoints, morbidity and overall survival (OS).Methods: This is a retrospective study of all patients with colorectal PM treated with CRS and HIPEC between 2004 and 2015 from the prospectively maintained Uppsala HIPEC database. One hundred and thirty-three patients were identified. Three HIPEC regimens were included: OX-HIPEC, OX-HIPEC + post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and oxaliplatin-irinotecan-based (OXIRI)-HIPEC. Multivariable Cox regression for DFS was performed.Results: Sixty-one patients received OX-HIPEC, 24 patients received OX-HIPEC + 5-FU EPIC, and 48 patients received OXIRI-HIPEC. The DFS for the OX-HIPEC group was 10.5 months, OX-HIPEC + EPIC 11.9 months, and OXIRI-HIPEC 13.4 months (OX-HIPEC vs. OXIRI HIPEC, P=0.049). The morbidity and OS did not differ between the groups. In the multivariable analysis, low peritoneal cancer index (PCI), absence of liver metastases, low completeness of cytoreduction (CC) score, and multiple drug (EPIC or OXIRI) HIPEC regimen were independent prognostic factors for DFS.Conclusions: This study showed improved DFS with an intensification of HIPEC by adding irinotecan or EPIC compared to oxaliplatin alone without an increase in morbidity or mortality.

- Background Microsatellite instability arises due to defect mismatch repair (MMR) and occurs in 10–20% of sporadic colorectal cancer. The purpose was to investigate correlations between defect MMR, prognosis and heredity for colorectal cancer in first-degree relatives. Material and methods Tumour tissues from 318 patients consecutively operated for colorectal cancer were analysed for immunohistochemical expression of MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 on tissue microarrays. Information on KRAS and BRAF mutation status was available for selected cases. Results Forty-seven (15%) tumours displayed MSI. No correlation was seen between patients exhibiting MSI in the tumour and heredity (p = 0.789). Patients with proximal colon cancer and MSI had an improved cancer-specific survival (p = 0.006) and prolonged time to recurrence (p = 0.037). In a multivariate analysis including MSI status, gender, CEA, vascular and neural invasion, patients with MSS and proximal colon cancer had an impaired cancer-specific survival compared with patients with MSI (HR, 4.32; CI, 1.46–12.78). The same prognostic information was also seen in distal colon cancer; no recurrences seen in the eight patients with stages II and III distal colon cancer and MSI, but the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion No correlation between MSI and heredity for colorectal cancer in first-degree relatives was seen. Patients with MSI tumours had improved survival.

Colorectal Cancer : Aspects of Heredity, Prognosis and Tumour Markers
- 2014

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common cancer types and leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Since CRC is a heterogenic disease, there is a demand for increased knowledge of the underlying genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. The aim of this thesis was to investigate heredity and potential tumour markers in relation to prognosis. In paper I, survival of patients with CRC and a positive family history of CRC in first-degree relatives was analysed. Patients with colon cancer and positive family history of CRC had improved survival compared to patients with negative family history. This improvement in survival could not be explained by known clinico-pathological factors. In paper II, we investigated the prognostic value of Tryptophanyl t-RNA synthetase (TrpRS) in tissues from patients operated for CRC. Low protein expression of TrpRS in primary tumour tissues correlated with increased risk of recurrence and poorer survival. In paper III, the prognostic value of microsatellite instability (MSI) and the correlation to heredity for CRC in first-degree relatives was investigated. Patients with proximal colon cancer and MSI had improved cancer specific survival. There were no correlation between MSI and heredity. In paper IV, we evaluated the potential use of proximity ligation assay (SP-PLA) in patients with CRC, by simultaneous analysis of 35 proteins in only 5 μl plasma. SP-PLA is a suitable method for protein detection and might give valuable guidance in pursuing new prognostic and predictive tumour markers. However, none of the markers selected for present SP-PLA analyses gave better prognostic information than CEA. In conclusion, heredity is related to better survival independent of MSI in patients with CRC and MSI is associated with better prognosis in proximal colon cancer. Detection and increased knowledge of molecular mechanism in CRC is important, however it needs to be further investigated and validated in clinical use.

- Background: In the search for prognostic biomarkers a significant amount of precious biobanked blood samples is needed if conventional analyses are used. Solid-phase proximity ligation assay (SP-PLA) is an analytic method with the ability to analyse many proteins at the same time in small amounts of plasma. The aim of this study was to explore the potential use of SP-PLA in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).Material and methods: Plasma from patients with stage I-IV CRC, with (n=31) and without (n=29) disease dissemination at diagnosis or later, was analysed with SP-PLA using 35 antibodies targeting an equal number of proteins in 5 ml plasma. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), analysed earlier on this cohort, was used as a reference.Results: A total of 21 of the 35 proteins were detectable with SP-PLA. Patients in stage II-III with disseminated disease had lower plasma concentrations of HCC-4 (p=0.025). Low plasma levels of TIMP-1 were seen in patients with disseminated disease stage II (p=0.003). The level of CEA was higher in patients with disease dissemination compared to those without (p=0.007).Conclusion: SP-PLA has the ability to analyse many tumour markers simultaneously in a small amount of blood. However, none of the markers selected for the present SP-PLA analyses gave better prognostic information compared with CEA.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Standard treatment for patient with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer is cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). In recent years, the efficacy of oxaliplatin-based HIPEC has been challenged. An intensified HIPEC (oxaliplatin+irinotecan) in combination with early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) has shown increased recurrence-free survival in retrospective studies. The aim of this trial is to develop a new HIPEC/EPIC regimen and evaluate its effect on morbidity, oncological outcome, and quality-of-life (QoL). This study is designed as a combined phase I/III multicenter randomized trial (RCT) of patients with peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer eligible for CRS-HIPEC. An initial phase I dose escalation study, designed as a 3+3 stepwise escalation, will determine the maximum tolerable dose of 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) as 1-day EPIC, enrolling a total of 15–30 patients in 5 dose levels. In the phase III efficacy study, patients are randomly assigned intraoperatively to either the standard treatment with oxaliplatin HIPEC (control arm) or oxaliplatin/irinotecan-HIPEC in combination with single dose of 1-day 5-FU EPIC (experimental arm). 5-FU is administered intraoperatively after CRS-HIPEC and closure of the abdomen. The primary endpoint is 12-month recurrence-free survival. Secondary endpoints include 5-year overall survival, 5-year recurrence-free survival (registry based), postoperative complications, and QoL up to 3 years after study treatment. This phase I/III trial aims to identify a more effective treatment of colorectal peritoneal metastases by combination of HIPEC and EPIC.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Simple Summary The concept of cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy perfusion for the treatment of colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases has been debated based on the results of recent controlled trials. In this review, we describe the development of this "package" treatment and discuss various aspects of the selection and indications, as well as future fields of research.Abstract Peritoneal metastases (PM) are observed in approximately 8% of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer, either synchronously or metachronously during follow-up. PM often manifests as the sole site of metastasis. PM is associated with a poor prognosis and typically shows resistance to systemic chemotherapy. Consequently, there has been a search for alternative treatment strategies. This review focuses on the global evolution of the combined approach involving cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the management of PM. It encompasses accepted clinical guidelines, principles for patient selection, surgical and physiological considerations, biomarkers, pharmacological protocols, and treatment outcomes. Additionally, it integrates the relevant literature and findings from previous studies. The role of CRS and HIPEC, in conjunction with other therapies such as neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy, is discussed, along with the management of patients presenting with oligometastatic disease. Furthermore, potential avenues for future development in this field are explored.

- BackgroundKRAS and BRAF mutations are prognostic and predictive tools in metastatic colorectal cancer, but little is known about their prognostic value in patients scheduled for cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Therefore, we analyzed the prognostic impact of KRAS and BRAF mutations in patients with peritoneal metastases scheduled for CRS and HIPEC.Patients and MethodsIn a consecutive series of 399 patients scheduled for CRS and HIPEC between 2009 and 2017, 111 subjects with peritoneal metastases from primaries of the appendix, colon, or rectum were analyzed for KRAS mutation and 92 for BRAF mutation.ResultsMutation in KRAS was present in 51/111 (46%), and mutated BRAF was found in 10/92 (11%). There was no difference in overall survival between KRAS mutation tumors and KRAS wild type, whereas BRAF mutation was associated with short survival. No subject with BRAF mutation survived 2 years. On multivariate analysis, completeness of cytoreduction score (CCS, p = 0.000001), presence of signet cell differentiation (p = 0.000001), and BRAF mutation (p = 0.0021) were linked with poor prognosis.ConclusionsBRAF mutation is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with appendiceal and colorectal peritoneal metastases scheduled for CRS and HIPEC, whereas survival outcome in subjects with mutated KRAS does not differ from wild-type KRAS. This finding suggests that those with BRAF mutation should be considered for alternative treatment options.

- Background: National lead time goals have been implemented across Sweden to standardize and improve cancer patient care. However, the prognostic impact of lead times has not yet been studied in patients with colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastases scheduled for cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC).Aim: To study the correlation between lead times and overall survival and operability.Methods: One hundred forty-eight patients with peritoneal metastases originating from colorectal cancer and scheduled for CRS + HIPEC from June 2012 to December 2019 were identified using a HIPEC register at Uppsala University Hospital. Data were collected from medical records concerning operability, overall survival, recurrence and time from diagnosis, and decision to operate to the date of surgery. Patients who had neoadjuvant therapy or no malignant cells in the resected specimens were excluded. Statistical calculations were made with the chi-squared test, Cox regression analysis, and log-rank test.Results: The median age was 66 years (27-82). Ninety-five were women and 53 were men. One hundred six underwent CRS + HIPEC, 13 CRS only, and 29 were inoperable (open-close). No difference in overall survival was seen when comparing patients with lead times <= 34 days and >= 35 days from the decision to operate at the multidisciplinary conference to the surgery but there was a higher frequency of open-close (p = 0.023) in the group with longer lead time. Factors that impacted overall survival were open-close (p < 0.001), liver metastases (p = 0.003), and peritoneal cancer index score >= 20 (p < 0.001).Conclusion: A long lead time from multidisciplinary conference to surgery has no direct impact on overall survival but can result in more cases of inoperability. In a larger cohort, this might translate into decreased survival, and efforts should therefore be made to complete preoperative work up as soon as possible and reduce overall time span. Important factors for survival are related to patient selection and extent of disease.

- Background: Oophorectomy is a common procedure in women with peritoneal metastasis (PM) undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which has unique consequences on hormonal balance and fertility before menopause. The objective of this study was to analyze histopathological results and the prognostic influence of ovarian involvement.Material and methods: A prospective HIPEC database was used to identify 442 patients with PM from colorectal cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei and appendix cancer scheduled for CRS-HIPEC between 2012 and 2019 at the University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden. Statistical analyses were performed using the Chisquare test and Cox regression analysis.Results: In all, 103 of 180 females underwent oophorectomy. Unilateral oophorectomy was performed in 19% (n = 20) and bilateral oophorectomy in 81% (n = 83). The median age was 61 (range 20-80). Benign ovarian histopathology was seen in 23% (n = 24). Of these, two patients were <35 years and 8 patients <50 years. The median peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 16 in women undergoing oophorectomy, and 7 in those with no oophorectomy. Bilateral oophorectomy was associated with negative impact on overall survival (HR 4.84; 95% CI; 1.14-20.61). Malignant ovarian histopathology was also associated with a negative impact on overall survival (p = 0.043).Conclusion: Almost a quarter of the patients had benign histopathology after oophorectomy. This is crucial information for females with childbearing potential when planning for extensive surgery. Extensive pelvic peritoneal cancer growth resulted more often in bilateral oophorectomy which influenced survival negatively.

- Introduction: Early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) can be used after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with resectable peritoneal metastases (PM). Whether EPIC adds any benefit is debatable.Methods: We performed a retrospective case-control analysis of patients with PM of appendiceal origin treated by CRS + HIPEC +/- EPIC at Uppsala University Hospital between 2004 and 2012. The 206 patients were divided into two groups depending on if they received EPIC or not. The two groups were propensity-matched with a 1:1 ratio. The patients in the EPIC group were mostly operated in the first three years of the unit's experience.Results: After matching, 76 patients were left in each group. The groups were similar, except for the proportion of histological subtypes (p = 0.021) and chemotherapy agents used for HIPEC (0.017). Survival outcomes were stratified by histology. The patients who received EPIC had a longer hospital and ICU length of stay (15.71 vs 14.28 days, p = 0.049), (1.45 vs 1.05 days, p = 0.002), respectively. Post-operative complications were similar in both groups. Overall Survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) did not differ for the patients with low-grade histology. The patients with high-grade tumors who received EPIC had a significantly worse OS (p = 0.0088) while having the same RFS as the patients who did not receive EPIC.Conclusion: Our results suggest there is no benefit of EPIC in patients with advanced appendiceal tumors while increasing hospital and ICU length of stays. A suboptimal group matching might influence our results. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd, BASO similar to The Association for Cancer Surgery, and the European Society of Surgical Oncology. All rights reserved.
