Long Term Survival after Cytoreductive Surgery Combined with Perioperative Chemotherapy in Gastric Cancer Patients with Peritoneal Metastasis.

ABSTRACT: The present study demonstrated prognostic factors for long-term survival in patients after a comprehensive treatment (CHT) for peritoneal metastasis (PM) from gastric cancer (GC). MATERIALS AND METHODS:Among 419 patients treated with neoadjuvant intraperitoneal/systemic chemotherapy (NIPS), 266 (63.5%) patients received complete resection (CC-0) of the macroscopic tumors. In total, 184 (43.9%) patients were treated with postoperative systemic chemotherapy. RESULTS:All patients treated who received incomplete cytoreduction (CC-1) died of GC within 6 years. In contrast, 10- year survival rates (-YSR) of CC-0 resection were 8.3% with median survival time (MST) of 20.5 months. Post-NIPS peritoneal cancer index (PCI) ?11, and pre-NIPS PCI ?13 were the significant favorable prognostic factors. Patients with numbers of involved peritoneal sectors ?5 survived significant longer than those with ?6. Both negative pre- and post-NIPS cytology was associated with significant favorable prognosis. Multivariate analyses identified pre-PCI (?13 vs. ?14), and cytology after NIPS (negative cytology vs. positive cytology) as independent prognostic factors. Ten year-survivors were found in patients with involvement of the greater omentum (9%), pelvic peritoneum (3%), para-colic gutter (13.9%), upper jejunum (5.6%), lower jejunum (5.5%), spermatic cord (21.9%), rectum (9.5%), ureter (6.3%), ovary (6.7%), and diaphragm (7.0%) at the time of cytoreduction. Twenty-one patients survived longer than 5 years, and 17 patients are still alive without recurrence. CONCLUSIONS:GC-PM should be removed aggressively, in patients with PCI after NIPS ?11, PCI before NIPS ?13, mall bowel PCI ?2, and complete cytoreduction should be performed for metastasis in ?5 peritoneal sectors.
