Summary: This study aimed to identify clinically relevant quality indicators and their quality standards in CRS + HIPEC for colorectal peritoneal metastases, with critical quality limits found for important indicators such as overall disease-free survival, completeness of surgical resection, overall morbidity, and overall recurrence. These findings are crucial for future studies aiming to control the variability of this surgical procedure.

Summary: This article provides a contemporary review of the surgical management of peritoneal surface malignancy (PSM) of colorectal origin. It includes a brief history, level I evidence, and evolving advancements, aiming to equip healthcare providers with essential knowledge and resources for treating carcinomatosis due to colorectal malignancies, although not covering all aspects.

Summary: The study showed that patients undergoing direct surgery with CRS-HIPEC for peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer had a good prognosis, with a median overall survival of over 3 years and disease-free survival of approximately 12.5 months. The findings question the necessity of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in all patients eligible for CRS-HIPEC.

Summary: The study found that postoperative oxaliplatin-based HIPEC could improve ascites-free survival in CRC-PM patients after incomplete CRS or palliative surgery, with enhanced quality of life after 6 months of follow-up.

Summary: The peritoneal cavity is a common site of metastasis from colorectal cancer, and patients often have aggressive tumor biology and poor prognosis. Cytoreductive surgery-hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is the only effective treatment for suitable patients. The benefit of this treatment is controversial, and current strategies to prevent metastasis in high-risk individuals have been shown to be ineffective.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical manifestations and impact of MMC-induced neutropenia after CRS and HIPEC in colorectal cancer patients. Severe neutropenia occurred earlier and lasted longer than mild neutropenia, with a higher rate of major postoperative complications.

Summary: The retrospective analysis of patients with colorectal cancer metastasis to the peritoneum and liver showed favorable perioperative and oncological outcomes with combined cytoreduction/HIPEC and hepatectomy. Surgical intervention should be considered in patients with both peritoneal and hepatic lesions when complete cytoreduction is feasible.

Summary: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) shows potential efficacy in treating peritoneal metastases from epithelial ovarian and colorectal cancer with limited toxic effects. Further research is needed to determine the optimal patient selection, timing, and regimens for improving the effectiveness of HIPEC.

Summary: Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a poor prognostic factor for all malignancies and systemic therapies have limited efficacy. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy are surgical interventions that have improved outcomes, but long-term survival remains rare and recurrence is common. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutics and techniques is necessary to improve outcomes.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in miRNA and cytokine expression in the peritoneal fluid of OVCA patients after receiving HIPEC during CRS. The results showed immediate down-regulation of miR-320a-3p and miR-663-a, followed by upregulation after 24 hours. Additionally, six other miRNAs and several cytokines demonstrated significant changes in expression post-HIPEC. Further research is needed to understand the role of HIPEC in these changes.

Summary: This study retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of operative management for colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastasis or carcinomatosis at a single center. The results showed that cytoreductive surgery (CRS) improves the prognosis of CRC-PC compared to nonoperative management, especially when complete resection is achieved and the disease burden is lower.

Summary: The study revealed that with the overcoming of the learning curve and the implementation of better patient selection methods, there has been an improvement in perioperative outcomes after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS-HIPEC) for colorectal peritoneal metastases (CPM).

Summary: Careful patient selection is crucial for patients undergoing CRS and HIPEC treatment for colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases. Factors such as increased PCI, right-sided primary tumors, and BRAF V600E mutation were identified as independent predictors for worse overall survival.
