AbstractIn the treatment of advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC)-associated surgery and chemotherapy with intravenous platinum/taxane-based therapy most patients had early or late recurrence. Prevention of progression and recurrence is a major objective for the management of EOC. Recently, many clinical studies have evaluated the strategy with hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal (IP) drug delivery. This is an update of hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in EOC and a view for future strategies. Until recently studies on HIPEC in patients with EOC were mostly retrospective and heterogeneous. Thanks to recent clinical trials, it is reasonable to conclude that surgical cytoreduction and HIPEC is an interesting approach in the management of EOC without increasing morbidity.

e17094 Background: Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) potentially confers significant survival benefits in the management of ovarian cancer although the long-term data remain scant. We sought to compare the survival rates of advanced stage ovarian cancer patients who were treated with primary induction therapy alone or in conjunction with consolidation HIPEC. Methods: Sixty-nine ovarian cancer patients who underwent surgery and completed their primary induction chemotherapy were treated with consolidation carboplatin (AUC 10) based HIPEC and compared to a historical cohort that received surgery and primary chemotherapy alone (n=69). The demographic and clinical characteristics in which we were primarily interested included: patient age, body mass index, surgery and pathology data, chemotherapy regimen, toxicity, and progression free/overall survival. Results: The two patient groups were similar in terms of tumor characteristics, cyto-reductive status, distribution of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and number of maintenance chemotherapy cycles administered (P> 0.05). Progression free survival was significantly more pronounced in the HIPEC (25.1 months) patients compared to the control group (20 months) (P=0.024) and there was a decreased risk of disease progression accorded to the patients treated with HIPEC (HR, 2.1028; 95% CI: 1.2941 to 3.4167; P=0.0027). However, we did not discern any HIPEC related overall survival advantages (P=0.29). Conclusions: The results from our ovarian cancer study suggest that adjunctive HIPEC proffers a significant progression free survival advantage and a decreased risk for disease progression. There was, however, no overall survival advantage discerned in the HIPEC group. We also recognize that HIPEC remains controversial and thus, randomized studies evaluating HIPEC compared to standard chemotherapy in the management of ovarian cancer are warranted.
