Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has improved the 5-year survival for colorectal cancer (CRC) patients with peritoneal metastases (PM). Little is known about recurrence patterns and recurrence rates between synchronous (S) and metachronous (M) PM following CRS+HIPEC. We aimed to describe the recurrence patterns, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) in S-PM and M-PM patients after complete CRS+HIPEC. From June 2006 to December 2020, a prospective cohort study included 310 CRC patients, where 181 patients had S-PM (58.4%) and 129 patients had M-PM (41.6%). After a median 10.3-month follow-up, 247/310 (79.7%) patients experienced recurrence, and recurrence sites included isolated peritoneal (32.4%), multifocal (peritoneal and liver and/or lung(s)) (22.7%), isolated liver (17.8%), isolated lung (10.5%) and other (16.6%) sites. Recurrence patterns did not differ between S-PM and M-PM. M-PM patients had an impaired DFS compared to S-PM patients (9.4 months (95% CI: 7.3–12.1) vs. 12.5 months (95% CI: 11.2–13.9), p = 0.01). The median OS was similar for S-PM and M-PM (38.4 months (95% CI: 31.2–46.8) vs. 40.8 months (95% CI: 28.8–46.8), p = 0.86). Despite frequent recurrence at extraperitoneal locations, long-term survival was achievable after CRS+HIPEC in CRC patients with PM. The recurrence patterns and OS did not differ between groups, yet M-PM patients had a shorter DFS.
