pubmed:abstractText |
Patients with peritoneal or local metastases from colorectal cancer have a poor prognosis. However, aggressive treatments by debulking surgery and infusional intraperitoneal (i.p.) chemotherapy have been tried and appear to benefit selected patients. We assayed the effects of debulking surgery and i.p. chemotherapy with respect to survival and compared the results with matched control patients treated by intravenous (i.v.) chemotherapy. In all, 18 patients with peritoneal and/or local metastases from colorectal adenocarcinoma underwent debulking surgery followed by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) 550 mg m(-2) day(-1) i.p. and leucovorin (LV) 60 mg m(-2) day(-1) i.v. The chemotherapy was started the day after surgery and was given daily for 6 days and repeated monthly for totally eight courses. The control patients, matched for age, gender, performance status and metastatic site, were randomly selected from controlled clinical chemotherapy trials and treated with i.v. 5-FU+LV or i.v. methotrexate+5-FU+LV. There was no treatment-related mortality. The median survival among i.p. patients was 32 months compared to 14 months in the control group. In all, 11 patients who underwent macroscopically radical surgery had a longer survival than those who were not radically operated (P=0.02). These results indicate that patients with peritoneal metastases and/or locally advanced cancers but without distant metastases may benefit from cytoreductive surgery combined with i.p. chemotherapy.
