GARCIA, Mauricio; ABADIA, Mario Arturo e SOLORZANO, Felipe. Second cytoreduction plus intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy in recurrence of pseudomyxoma peritonei. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2017, vol.32, n.3, pp.193-204. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.25.
Introduction: Peritoneal pseudomyxoma is a rare condition characterized by mucinous ascitis and peritoneal implants, originating from mucinous tumors of the apendix in the majority of cases. Primary treatment is surgical resection, with cytoreduction surgery plus hiperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy as the current standard of care, with 96% and 68% 5 and 10 year overall survival rates. Nonetheless, it is a surgical procedure associated with high morbidity and considerable mortality, with initial experience in Colombia. Recurrence is estimated between 28% and 44% and few reports address the management of recurrence peritoneal pseudomyxoma; second cytoreduction surgery plus hiperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) seems to have acceptable results in terms of survival, morbidity and mortality. No studies of second CRS + HIPEC have been reported in Colombia; this is why we decided to publish two cases treated at the Instituto Nacional de Cancerología, Bogotá, Colombia, who had recurrence after a fist CRS + HIPEC, diagnosed by follow up images and who were taken to a second surgical treatment with good results. Conclusion: Second CRS + HIPEC is a technically challenging procedure with considerable morbidity that should only be performed in specialized and experienced centers, a radical form of treatment that could possibly become the standard of choice for recurrence.
