Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Dr. Aditi Sarker Resident (Phase-B) Gastroenterology BSMMU
Peritoneum Thin serous membrane Lining the wall of the abdominal and pelvic cavities(the parietal peritoneum) Covering the existing organs(visceral peritoneum) Peritoneal cavity : Space between 2 layers
Peritoneal carcinomatosis and metastasis Peritoneal carcinomatosis is the malignant tumor of peritoneum Often secondary May be primary Often develops when other abdominal tumors spread to the peritoneum Leading to multiple new tumors on the surface of the membrane
Mechanism Detachment of cells from the primary tumor Peritoneal transport Mesothelial adhesion Invasion of the submesothelial tissue Systemic metastasis
Metastatic spread to the peritoneum
Why Omentum Fatty acid in omental adipocyte: Stimulates cancer growth Pro-angiogenic environment of omental milkyspot Contains immune aggregate Dense capillary network
Risk Factors Age Family history of ovarian or peritoneal cancer BRCA genetic mutations Hormone replacement therapy Obesity
Tumor markers Endoscopy & colonoscopy Laparoscopy: To take biopsy of peritoneal implants To take Omental biopsy Sensitivity approaches 100%
Newer modalities for diagnosis Liquid biopsy: Molecular diagnostic studies that are performed on blood or body fluid as opposed to cancerous tissue itself Utilizes circulating biomarkers in the serum of patients May be used to tailoring treatment plan and early intervention Exosomes: Stable patient-derived nanovesicles present in blood, urine, and many other bodily fluids Promising tool for the evaluation of labile biomarkers
Treatment Depending on particular case Usually palliative: Ease pain Paracentesis, diuretics, shunt Analgesia Nutrition Improvement quality of life
Therapeutic options Cytoreductive surgery Surgical removal of tumors on peritoneum in some cases, nearby abdominal organs Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy Often used right after cytoreductive surgery this method bathes peritoneum with heated chemotherapy drugs to kill any remaining cancer cells Peritonectomy Hormonal therapy SERM, HER-2 receptor blocker, Aromatase inhibitor
Intraperitoneal treatment modalities include Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy(HIPEC), Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC), Neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy (NIPS) Early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC)
HIPEC Applied as single administration after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) By use of a perfusion machine Circulation of the heated chemotherapy solution can be performed using either an open (termed Coliseum) or a close technique duration of 60–120 min temperature of 40–43 °C Indications: Curative. Potential other indications: Palliative, neoadjuvant and adjuvant
PIPAC Applied repeatedly by laparoscopy using a two- trochar technique. PIPAC is not combined with CRS. Administration of chemotherapy is achieved via a high-pressure injector. • Indications: Palliative. • Potential other indications: Neoadjuvant , adjuvant.
NIPS Long-course combination treatment of intraperitoneal and intravenous chemotherapy using implanted catheter access ports. • Indications: Neoadjuvant
EPIC Administered typically after CRS and HIPEC by use of intraoperatively placed intraperitoneal catheters to extend intraperitoneal drug exposure over 5 days postoperatively . Indications: Adjuvant
Prognosis For colorectal PC, median survival is approximately five months Palliative systemic therapy is able to extend this to approximately 12 months (CRS/ HIPEC) with a curative intent is possible in some patients with limited tumor burden In well-selected patients undergoing complete cytoreduction, median survival has been reported as high as 63 month
