Pseudomyxoma peritonei: Role of cytoreduction and intraperitoneal chemotherapy
نویسنده
چکیده
In the past, pseudomyxoma peritonei was considered as an incurable disease and often no active treatment was given. With the advent of cytoreductive surgery, including peritonectomy procedures and intraperitoneal chemotherapy, long-term survival of these patients is actually possible. A 61-year-old patient with adenocarcinoma of the appendix who presented with a clinical picture of pseudomyxoma peritonei is described in the present report. The patient achieved independent activity of daily living and improved quality of life after aggressive surgical approach and intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

BACKGROUND Cytoreductive surgery supplemented by perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a therapeutic option for selected patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei syndrome. In some patients, the stomach and/or its vascular supply are so covered by mucinous tumour that total gastrectomy is required for complete resection. METHODS Forty-five patients underwent total gastrectomy with a tempor...

BACKGROUND Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare and fatal disease for which no standard treatment has been established. Encouraging results have been recently reported with the combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-five patients with PMP underwent CRS and closed abdomen HIPEC with mytomicin-C and cis-p...
