Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with lobaplatin and docetaxel for treatment of synchronous peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from gastric cancer. Methods:Fifty patients with synchronous PC from gastric cancer were treated by 52CRS+HIPEC procedures with 100 mg of lobaplatin and 120 mg of docetaxel in 12000 mL of normal saline at ( 43± 0. 5)℃ for 60min. The primary and secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and perioperative safety profiles, respectively. Results: At a median follow- up of 22. 5 months, the median OS rate was 14. 3 (95% CI:7. 6- 21. 0) months, and the 1- , 2- , and 3- year survival rates were 58% ,40% , and 32% , respectively. No perioperative deaths or serious adverse events occurred in12cases ( 23. 1%). Multivariate analysis indicated that completeness of cytoreduction, nor-mality of perioperative tumor markers, and adjuvant chemotherapy of more than six cycles were independent predictors for improved survival. Conclusions:CRS+HIPEC with lobaplatin and docetaxel could improve the OS and ensure perioperative safety of patients with synchronous PC from gastric cancer.
