Secondary Cytoreductive Surgery with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Advanced or Recurrent Mucinous Ovarian Cancer

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

BACKGROUND:Advanced or recurrent primary mucinous ovarian cancer is typically incurable and associated with short progression-free and overall survival when treated with standard chemotherapy. Novel approaches are desperately needed for women with this disease.CASES:Two patients with advanced or recurrent primary mucinous ovarian cancer were treated with secondary cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). No additional chemotherapy was administered postoperatively. Both patients achieved a complete and durable response, with no evidence of recurrence at 21 and 27 months, respectively, after CRS with HIPEC.CONCLUSION:Secondary CRS with HIPEC represents a potential therapeutic option for women with recurrent primary mucinous ovarian cancer.
