Purpose This study aimed to assess the evaluation of clinical outcomes and consequences of complications after cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) from colorectal cancer.
Methods A total 26 patients underwent CRS and HIPEC for PC from colorectal cancer between March 2009 and April 2018. All the patients underwent CRS with the purpose of complete or near-complete cytoreduction. Intraoperative HIPEC was performed simultaneously after the CRS. Mitomycin C was used as chemotherapeutic agent for HIPEC.
Results Median disease-free survival was 27.8 months (range, 13.4–42.2 months). Median overall survival was 56.0 months (range, 28.6–83.5 months). The mean peritoneal cancer index (PCI) was 8.73 ± 5.54. The distributions thereof were as follows: PCI <10, 69.23%; PCI 10–19, 23.08%; and PCI ≥20, 7.69%. The completeness of cytoreduction was 96.2% of patients showed CC-0, with 3.8% achieved CC-1. The mean operation time was 8.5 hours, and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 21.6 days. The overall rate of early postoperative complications was 88.5%; the rate of late complications was 34.6%. In the early period, most complications were grades I–II complications (65.4%), compared to grades III–V (23.1%). All late complications, occurring in 7.7% of patients, were grades III–V. There was no treatment-related mortality.
Conclusion Although the complication rate was approximately 88%, but the rate of severe complication rate was low. In selective patients with peritoneal recurrence, more aggressive strategies for management, such as CRS with HIPEC, were able to be considered under the acceptable general condition and life-expectancy.

Colorectal large-cell neuroendocrine carcinomas (NECs) are extremely rare and have very poor prognosis compared to adenocarcinomas. A 74-year-old man presented with abdominal pain, diarrhea and hematochezia. The histopathologic report of colonoscopic biopsy performed at a local clinic was a poorly differentiated carcinoma. An abdominopelvic computed scan revealed irregularly enhanced wall thickening at the sigmoid colon with regional fat stranding and lymphnode enlargement. He underwent a laparoscopic high anterior resection with selective peritonectomy for peritoneal carcinomatosis, intraoperative peritoneal irrigation chemotherapy, and early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy for 5 days. The tumor had a high proliferation rate (mitotic count > 50/10 HPFs and 90% of the Ki-67 index) and lymph-node metastases had occurred. On immunohistochemistry, the tumor cells expressed CD56 and synaptophysin. Large-cell NEC was confirmed. Systemic chemotherapy with cisplatin/etoposide was done. The patient is still alive after 3 years with no evidence of recurrence.

Intraperitoneal carcinomatosis accounts for 25~35% of recurrences of colorectal cancer, and peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer has been regarded as a lethal condition. However, a combination of aggressive cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been tried and appears to be beneficial in selected patients. The primary goal of cytoreductive surgery is to remove all visible tumor within the peritoneal cavity. The goal of intraperitoneal chemotherapy is to eradicate the microscopic residual tumor and to prevent its recurrence.
There are various ways to perform intraperitoneal chemotherapy. One is postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, and another is intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy during surgery. Hyperthermia increases the penetration of chemotherapy into tissues and the level of chemotherapy cytotoxicity. The timing of surgery in cases of intraperitoneal chemotherapy and the optimal dosage of drugs must be evaluated in further studies. In colorectal cancer, the peritoneum should be regarded as an intra-abdominal organ, like the liver. Therefore, intraperitoneal carcinomatosis must be treated by using a combination of aggressive surgical treatment and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Eventually, the long-term overall survival will be increased.
