Essentials for Pathological Evaluation of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies and Synoptic Reporting of Cytoreductive Surgery Specimens-A review and evidence-based guide.


ABSTRACT: Peritoneal surface oncology has emerged as a subspecialty of surgical oncology, with the growing popularity of surgical treatment of peritoneal metastases comprising of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). Pathological evaluation plays a key role in multidisciplinary management but there are still many areas where there are no guidelines or consensus on reporting. Some tumors presenting to a peritoneal surface oncology unit are rare and pathologists my not be familiar with diagnosing and classifying those. In this manuscript, we have reviewed the evidence regarding various aspects of histopathological evaluation of peritoneal tumors. It includes establishing a diagnosis, appropriate classification and staging of common and rare tumors and evaluation of pathological response to chemotherapy. In many instances, the information captured is of prognostic value alone with no direct therapeutic implications. But proper capturing of such information is vital for generating evidence that will guide future treatment trends and research. There are no guidelines/data set for reporting cytoreductive surgery specimens. Based on the authors' experience, a format for handling/grossing and synoptic reporting of these specimens is provided.
