BACKGROUND: Prognosis in peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastric cancer has improved with cytoreductive surgery (CS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to identify predictive factors for incomplete CS. METHODS: Forty-five patients undergoing laparotomy for gastric cancer with peritoneal carcinomatosis were...

BACKGROUND: Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a promising treatment for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC). Our objective was to identify new prognostic factors in patients with PC from colorectal cancer treated with this procedure. METHODS: All patients with PC from colorectal cancer...

Transdiaphragmatic intercostal hernias (TIH) are rare. Less than 40 cases of TIH have so far been reported, with only 8 cases involving herniation of the liver. This report presents the case of 2 patients with a right-sided abdominal lump following a fall. Thoracoabdominal CT-scan showed a TIH between the 9th and 10th ribs with liver and right...

PURPOSE: The treatment of early-stage colorectal cancers removed endoscopically depends on histopathologic findings. This study aimed to assess the benefit-risk balance for patients who underwent additional surgery after endoscopic resection of a T1 carcinoma with unfavorable histology. METHODS: From 2000 to 2010, 64 consecutive patients were...

BACKGROUND: Predicting early death after a comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is very difficult in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to develop a scoring system to estimate risk of death at 100 days in elderly cancer patients to assist the therapeutic decision. METHODS: This was a multicentric, prospective cohort study approved...

Well-differentiated papillary mesothelioma of the peritoneum (WDPMP) is a rare entity. Questions regarding management are still being debated as no more than 50 cases have been reported in the literature.

Background: Multimodal treatment for patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) from colorectal cancer (CRC), including perioperative chemotherapy (CT) plus complete resection, is associated with prolonged survival. The oncologic impact of therapeutic delays is unknown.Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the survival impact of delaying...
