Factors affecting the survival of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis of colorectal origin

Abstract

To determine the predictive factors of overall (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in CRC patients with PC after CS with HIPEC. From 2010 to 2018 years 102 patients with CRC and PC were included in the study. The cytoreduction was complete (CC0, according to Sugabaker scale) in 96 (94.2%) cases. The age median of patients was 65 years. There were 63 (62%) women. In 81 (79%) patients, the PC was synchronous. The median level of CEA was 8.5 ng/ml. The median peritoneal carcinomatous index (PCI) was 3 (1-23). The median of follow-up was 18 (11; 33) months. The median of DFS and OS were 13 (9;31) and 32 (17; n/d) months, respectively. Multifactorial Cox-regression analysis showed the localization of the primary tumor in the right colon (OR=1.66; 95% CI 1.1-2.5; p=0.013) and the level of the PCI (OR = 1.08; 95% CI 1.024-1.15; p=0.008) were independent negative factors of OS. The CS and HIPEC in patients with CRC with PC allowes to achieve five-year survival in a part of patients, especially with low PCI. Identifying adverse prognostic factors preoperatively can help in selecting patients for CS in the future.
