  1. Management of pseudomyxoma peritonei Rockson Wei Queen Mary Hospital Joint Hospital Surgical Grand Round 25th July, 2009

  2. Pseudomyxoma Peritonei • Definition • Low grade malignant disease within the peritoneal cavity • Characterized by • Production and accumulation of mucous • Mucinous implants

  3. Epidemiology • Incidence ~ 1 per million a year • Over 80% from appendix or ovary • Other sites: pancreas, bile duct, colon, gall bladder and urachus R.M. Smeenket al Appendiceal neoplasms and pseudomyxoma peritonei: A population based study Euro J Surg Oncol 2008; 34, 196-201

  4. Clinical presentation • Abdominal pain and distension • Symptoms from the primary tumor • mimicking appendicitis • inguinal hernia • ovarian mass • “Jelly belly” • Abundant intraperitoneal mucous Qu Z, Liu L Management of pseudomyxoma peritonei World J Gastroenterology 12 (38): 6124–7

  5. Natural history • Peritoneal seedlings lead to fistula and adhesion • Excessive mucous accumulation compresses intestine • Compromise gastrointestinal function • Intestinal obstruction • Ends in mortality unless radically treated

  6. Histopathology • Low grade malignancy • Originate from tumours of appendix / ovary • Mucinous (cyst)adenoma • Mucoceles • Mucinous (cyst)adenocarcinoma

  7. Management • Traditional strategy • Repeated surgical debulking procedures • Intraperitoneal or systemic chemotherapy • Leucovorin • Floxuridine • 10 year survival only 20% Culliford AT, Paty PB Surgical debulking and intrapertioneal chemotherapy for established peritoneal metastases from colon and appendix cancer Ann Surg Oncol 8 (10): 787

  8. Management • Combined treatment strategy • Peritonectomy with electrosurgery • Maximum radical oncological cytoreductive surgery • Intra-operative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy • Eliminates microscopic or minimal residual disease • Hyperthermia increases drug effectiveness • Early post-operative intraperitoneal chemotherapy Sugarbaker New standard of care for appendiceal epithelial neoplasms and pseudomyxoma peritonei syndrome Lancet Oncol 7 (1): 69–76

  9. Indications for combined treatment • Large volume of noninvasive peritoneal carcinomatosis • Low volume peritoneal seeding of invasive cancer • Perforated gastrointestinal cancers • Gastrointestinal cancer with ovarian involvement Sugarbaker Management of peritoneal surface malignancy using intraperitoneal chemotherapy and cytoreductive surgery Manual for physicians and nurses 1998

  10. Peritonectomy • Removal of all tumour tissues from the parietal and visceral peritoneum • Large tumour nodules must be resected and all visible tumors removed • Small cancer deposits on the visceral peritoneum are also individually electroevaporated

  11. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) • Aim: to eradicate microscopic residual disease for curative intent • Performed after completion of peritonectomy • Catheters are inserted to dependant positions • Thermocouples continuously monitor the inflow, outflow, and intraperitoneal cavity temperatures • Temporary abdominal skin closure • Intraperitoneal temperature maintained 42.5℃

  12. HIPEC setup diagram

  13. HIPEC agents • Depends on the tumor histological characteristics. • Pseudomyxoma peritonei - Appendix, colon and stomach • Cisplatin (CDDP; 25 mg/m2 per liter) • Mitomycin C (MMC; 3.3 mg/m2 per liter) • Ovary, mesothelioma and others • Cisplatin (CDDP 43 mg/m2 per liter) • Doxorubicin (15.25 mg/m2 per liter)

  14. HIPEC • Advantages: • Hyperthermic conditions increase cytotoxicity • Heat has anti-tumour effects • Prolonged retention improve drug penetration • Manual intra-op chemotherapy allows uniform distribution of drug • Eliminates platelets, neutrophils & monocytes • Diminishes promotion of tumour growth associated with wound healing process

  15. HIPEC • Disadvantages • Removal of white cells due to chemotherapy and heat leaves the patient vulnerable to intra- abdominal infection • Strict aseptic technique is required during administration of chemotherapy

  16. Early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy • 5-Florouracil is utilized • Commenced immediately after operation • Infusion via Tenckhoff catheter • Chemotherapy agent dwell in the abdomen for 23 hours and drain for 1 hour • Repeat 5 times

  17. Effectiveness of combined treatment

  18. Extrapolation of combined treatment • Multiple peritoneal metastases • Not readily reproducible • Controversial Sugarbaker 1990, 1998a, 1998b, 2003

  19. Summary • Combined treatment (Sugerbaker) • Peritonectomy • Intra-operative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy • Early post-operative chemotherapy • Effective for pseudomyxoma peritonei
