Place of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the armament against pancreatic adenocarcinoma: A survival, mortality and morbidity systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is one of the deadliest types of cancer worldwide, with a 5-year survival rate of 8% despite recent treatment advancements. The present systematic review aimed to investigate the role of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) following surgical resection for pancreatic adenocarcinoma, with or without peritoneal carcinomatosis. A systematic search of the MEDLINE and SCOPUS electronic databases was performed according to PRISMA guidelines. All possible relevant articles published between January 1980 and May 2019 were retrieved using multiple search terms associated with HIPEC and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The initial search resulted in 1,244 reports, which condensed to 41 reports following screening of titles and abstracts, and subsequently to four reports following full-text thorough examination. The four reports included involved a prospective cohort study of HIPEC use in resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and three retrospective studies of HIPEC use following cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis due to pancreatic adenocarcinoma, resulting in a total of 47 patients. The overall survival ranged between 2 and 62 months, and the hospital mortality rate was 8.5%. Morbidity (34%) was mainly attributed to anastomotic leak or respiratory failure. Due to the small sample size and low quality of evidence of the included studies, no valid conclusions could be drawn. Therefore, further studies are required to justify the use of HIPEC as an adjuvant therapy in resectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma, while cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC in peritoneal carcinomatosis of pancreatic origin seems not only not useful but also unsafe at this level of evidence.

Project description:ImportanceCurrently, rates of referral of patients with peritoneal metastasis in the United States who qualify for cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) are low, in part because of the misperception of high morbidity and mortality rates. However, patients requiring major gastrointestinal surgical procedures with similar complication rates are routinely referred.ObjectiveTo evaluate the relative safety of CRS/HIPEC.Design, setting, and participantsRetrospective cohort study of 34 114 patients who underwent CRS/HIPEC, right lobe hepatectomy, trisegmental hepatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and esophagectomy between January 1, 2005, and December 31, 2015, included in the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Project (NSQIP) database. Data analysis was performed in 2018.Main outcomes and measuresData from the NSQIP database were used to compare perioperative and 30-day postoperative morbidity and mortality rates of CRS/HIPEC (1822 patients) with other, well-accepted, high-risk surgical oncology procedures: right lobe hepatectomy (5109 patients), trisegmental hepatectomy (2449 patients), pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple) (16 793 patients), and esophagectomy (7941 patients).ResultsFor 34 114 patients, median (interquartile range [IQR]) age was 63 (55-71) years and 42% were female. Patients undergoing CRS/HIPEC tended to be younger, with a median age of 57 years, and esophagectomy had the highest median (IQR) American Society of Anesthesiologists classification (3 [3-3]). When compared with CRS/HIPEC, higher complication rates were reported in the following categories: (1) superficial incisional infection in Whipple and esophagectomy (5.4% [95% CI, 4.4%-6.4%] vs 9.7% [95% CI, 9.3%-10.1%] and 7.2% [95% CI, 6.6%-7.8%], respectively; P < .001); (2) deep incisional infection in Whipple (1.7% [95% CI, 1.1%-2.3%] vs 2.7% [95% CI, 2.5%-2.9%]; P < .01); (3) organ space infection in right lobe hepatectomy (7.2% [95% CI, 6.0%-8.4%] vs 9.0% [95% CI, 8.2%-9.8%]; P = .02), trisegmental hepatectomy (12.4% [95% CI, 11.1%-13.7%]; P < .001), and Whipple (12.9% [95% CI, 12.4%-13.4%]; P < .001); and (4) return to the operating room for esophagectomy (6.8% [95% CI, 5.6%-8.0%] vs 14.4% [95% CI, 13.6%-15.2%]; P < .001). Median (IQR) length of hospital stay was lower in CRS/HIPEC (8 [5-11] days) than Whipple (10 [7-15] days) and esophagectomy (10 [8-16] days) (P < .001). Overall 30-day mortality was lower in CRS/HIPEC (1.1%; 95% CI, 0.6%-1.6%) compared with Whipple (2.5%; 95% CI, 2.3%-2.7%), right lobe hepatectomy (2.9%; 95% CI, 2.4%-3.4%), esophagectomy (3.0%; 95% CI, 2.6%-3.4%), and trisegmental hepatectomy (3.9%; 95% CI, 3.1%-4.7%) (P < .001).Conclusions and relevanceComparative analysis revealed CRS/HIPEC to be safe, often safer across the spectrum of NSQIP safety metrics when compared with similar-risk oncologic procedures. Patient selection was important in achieving observed outcomes. High complication rates are a misperception from early CRS/HIPEC experience and should no longer deter referral of patients to experienced centers or impede clinical trial development in the United States.
