Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) is a treatment commonly applied to peritoneal surface disease from low-grade mucinous tumors of the appendix. Some centers have extended this therapy to carcinomatosis from more aggressive malignancies. Therefore, we reviewed our experience with CRS/HIPEC for patients with goblet cell carcinomatosis. METHODS: Patients with carcinomatosis from appendiceal primaries with goblet cell features were identified in a prospectively maintained database of 1198 CRS/HIPEC procedures performed between 1991 and 2014. Patient demographics, disease characteristics, morbidity, mortality, and survival were reviewed. RESULTS: A total of 31 patients with carcinomatosis originating from appendiceal goblet cell tumors underwent CRS/HIPEC during the study period. Patients were generally young (mean age, 53 y) and otherwise healthy (84% without comorbidities) with good performance status (94% Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group 0 or 1). The mean number of visceral resections was 3.5, and complete cytoreduction of macroscopic disease was accomplished in 36%. Major 90-d morbidity and mortality rates were 38.7% and 9.7%, respectively. Median overall survival (OS) for all patients was 18.4 mo. Patients with negative nodes had better survival than those with positive nodes (median OS, 29.2 versus 10.2 mo), respectively (P = 0.002). Although complete cytoreduction was associated with longer median OS after CRS/HIPEC (R0/R1 28.6 versus R2 17.2 mo, P = 0.47), the observed difference did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS: CRS/HIPEC may improve survival in patients with node negative goblet cell carcinomatosis when a complete cytoreduction is achieved. Patients with disease not amenable to complete cytoreduction should not be offered CRS/HIPEC.
