Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Metastasis from Breast Cancer: A Preliminary Report on 4 Cases
Background: Breast cancer (BC) has been ranked as the first malignancy most common and the fifth in mortality rate among women in China [1]. Peritoneal metastases from BC is a rare disease and no guideline or international consensus for it.
Objective: To summarize our experiences in cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to treat breast cancer peritoneal carcinomatosis (BC PC).
Methods: This is a retrospective study on the 4 BC PC patients underwent CRS+HIPEC at our center. The clinicopathological features and treatment details on the BC PC patients were analyzed.
Result: The average age at CRS+HIPEC was 59.8 years. The average duration of CRS+HIPEC was 8.8 h. The median number of resected organ areas was 7. Overall survival from CRS+HIPEC were 31, 28, 16 and 52 months. There were no serious adverse events (SAEs) during perioperative period.
Conclusions: The 4 cases provided evidence that integrated therapy with CRS+HIPEC may be a promising strategy to improve outcome for BC PC patients.
