[en] gastric adenocarcinoma ; hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy
[en] Aim of the study : After macroscopic radical (R0) surgery for advanced gastric carcinoma, 40 to 50% of the tumors recur in the abdomen as locoregional or peritoneal disease. We initiated a protocol in which patients with suspicion of macroscopic serosal, lymphatic or peritoneal invasion, treated with R) resection, underwent adjuvant HIPEC. Methods : Between June 1998 and January 2003, 16 patients with locally advanced adenocarcinoma of the stomach were included in the study. Surgery consisted of a total gastrectomy with a D2 lymphadenectomy. Splenectomy (n = 1), splenopancreatectomy (n = 4), transverse colectomy (n = 3), left hepatectomy (n = 1), localized peritonectomy (n = 3) were associated to obtain a R0 resection. HIPEC protocol consisted of heated (42.5 degrees C) intraperitoneal mitomycin C (15 mg/m2) for a planned duration of 90 minutes. Results : HIPEC median duration was limited to 73(20-90) min because of central hyperthermia recognition in half of the cases. One patient died in the postoperative period of sepsis secondary to a duodenal fistula. Postoperative morbidity included pancreatic fistula (n = 2), pulmonary oedema (n = 1), pulmonary embolus (n = 1) and transient renal failure (n = 1). UICC staging was IB (n = 2), 11 (n = 2), IIIA (n = 5), IIIB (n = 1), IV (n = 6). Nine of the 16 patients are alive without recurrence with a median follow-up of 52 months. Four patients developed a recurrence, intraperitoneal (n = 2), systemic (n = 1), or combined (n = 1). Two patients were lost to follow-up. Conclusions : Aggressive surgical therapy and HIPEC might represent the standard of care in a selected population with locoregional disease and for whom a R0 resection can be achieved. This protocol was associated in this study with a 75% 5-year survival with a low peritoneal recurrence rate and an acceptable morbidity.
