A minimally invasive approach for peritonectomy procedures and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in limited peritoneal carcinomatosis: The American Society of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (ASPSM) multi-institution analysis Hasselt University
Background Minimally invasive surgery is playing an increasing role in the treatment of patients with gastrointestinal and gynaecological malignancies as the data show reduced morbidity, faster recovery and similar oncological outcome when compared to open procedures.Materials and methodsThe American Society of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (ASPSM) conducted a retrospective study to analyse peritonectomy procedures and HIPEC done via the ...
Toxicities and doses of chemotherapy drugs in hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) Ghent University
Antitumour efficacy of two paclitaxel formulations for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in an in vivo rat model Ghent University University of Antwerp
To evaluate the tumour growth delay of a peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of colorectal origin after intraperitoneal chemotherapy with paclitaxel/randomly-methylated-beta-cyclodextrin (Pac/RAME-beta-CD) versus TaxolA (R) at normo- and hyperthermic conditions in rats. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) was performed 7 days post implantation of the tumour with both formulations at a Pac concentration of 0.24 mg/ml. Tumour evaluation ...
The Treatment of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis of Colorectal Cancer with Complete Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Peroperative Chemotherapy (HIPEC) with Oxaliplatin: A Belgian Multicentre Prospective Phase II Clinical Study Hasselt University KU Leuven Ghent University University of Antwerp
Up to 25% of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC) present with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) as the only site of metastases. Complete cytoreductive surgery (CCRS) followed by hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) aims for locoregional disease control and long-term survival. Oxaliplatin is effective for treating advanced CRC. This study assesses the safety and efficacy of CCRS with HIPEC with oxaliplatin for patients with ...
Evaluation of the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) with complete cytoreduction and hyperthermic intraperitoneal peroperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) with oxaliplatin: A Belgian multicenter prospective phase II clinical study KU Leuven Ghent University
4101 Background: Up to 25% of patients with metastatic CRC present with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) as the only site of metastases. The concept of Complete Cytoreductive Surgery (CCRS) followed by Hyperthermia and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) was developed, aiming for locoregional disease control and long-term survival.
Statement of the AGO Kommission Ovar, AGO Study Group, NOGGO, AGO Austria, Swiss AGO, BGOG, CEEGOG, GEICO, and SFOG regarding the use of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in epithelial ovarian cancer. KU Leuven
An international joint statement about the use of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in ovarian cancer was published in 2016, warning about the uncritical use of HIPEC outside controlled studies. This statement has now been updated after the most recent literature was reviewed by the participating study groups and societies. HIPEC became a treatment option in patients with advanced colon cancer after positive results of a ...
Appendiceal Goblet Cell Carcinoma: Role of Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Hasselt University
Goblet cell carcinoma (GCC) encompasses a separate entity in appendiceal neoplasms with mixed glandular and neuro-endocrine pathological features. GCC mostly presents as an acute appendicitis duo to luminal obstruction or as an incidental finding on the surgical appendectomy specimen. In case of tumour perforation or presence of other risk factors, guidelines suggest additional treatment with a completing right hemicolectomy or cytoreductive ...
