Cytoreductive Surgery & Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Regional therapies for Appendix Cancer Cytoreductive Surgery & Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy The goal of CRS is to leave no residual nodule larger than 2.5 mm (preferably 0mm) Since the early 1990s, in the absence of randomized trials, various protocols have utilized IPC for peritoneal metastasis for a variety of primary tumors 5-year survival in excess of 50% is associated with optimal CRS + IPC, compared to 20% for those with suboptimal CRS.

Development of HIPEC Regional therapies for Appendix Cancer Theoretically, multiple cycles of EPIC may allow for greater cumulative tumor cell kill than a single cycle. However, GOG studies showed efficacy despite the lower number of cycles than planned Multi-cycle EPIC has proven to be difficult for many patients to tolerate due to post-operative pain, distension, and nausea. Multi-cycle EPIC is logistically challenging for many patients, who may have to travel far distances to specialty centers for treatment Thus, HIPEC….
Development of HIPEC Regional therapies for Appendix Cancer Intraoperative IPC was initially performed with a normothermic solution of chemotherapy. Subsequently, intraperitoneal hyperthermia was integrated into the treatment paradigm Cytotoxic to carcinoma cells inhibition of nuclear matrix-mediated functions essential to DNA replication, transcription and repair Increases sensitivity to mitomycin C Cavalieri.
