After carrying out exploratory laparoscopy to determine the peritoneal cancer index (pretreatment PCI: Pre-PCI) in 150 patients, we performed NLHIPEC for 60 min. with peritoneal port placement: a series of 3-week cycles of NIPS using S1, docetaxel, and cisplatin two weeks after NLHIPEC: performed cytoreductive surgery in 86 patients four weeks after NIPS, and subsequently measured PCI (Post-PCI). Positive cytology in 38 patients changed to negative in 26 (68.4%) patients at laparotomy. The post-PCI (6.7¡À7.8) was significantly lower than the pre-PCI (10.6¡À10.2) (P=0.0001). The PCI was ¡Ý14 in 30 patients at pretreatment and ¡Ü13 in 19 (63.3£¿£¿) of these patients at posttreatmjent. Post-PCI cut-off level (¡Ü13 vs ¡Ý14) and cytology after NIPS (negative vs positive) emerged as independent indicators of prognosis. Postoperative mortality was 1.2% (1/86). NLHIPEC and NIPS are safe and effective modalities for reducing Post-PCI below the cut-off level and eradicating peritoneal free cancer cells %K Gastric cancer %K peritoneal metastasis %K Peritoneal metastasis %K hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion %K Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion %K laparoscopy %K Laparoscopy %K peritoneal cancer index %K Peritoneal cancer index %U http://www.jperitoneum.org/index.php/joper/article/view/60
