Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of treatment and the factors influencing the postoperative recurrence and survival time for pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). A total of 39 patients with PMP who received treatment were analyzed in The General Hospital of PLA (Beijing, China) between 2002 and 2011. The patients received cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and 25 cases of PMP recurred. Seven patients received postoperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC). The median follow‑up was 40 months. There were eight mortalities in this period. The 5‑ and 10‑year survival rates were 89.0 and 35.0%, respectively. The medians of overall survival (OS) and recurrence time were 37 and 4 months, respectively. Multivariate analyses revealed that pathological subtype was able to influence the recurrence (P=0.042) and OS (P=0.033) times, as an independent prognostic factor. HIPEC was significantly associated with postoperative recurrence time (P=0.017). Patients with disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis had a more favorable prognosis. CRS combined with HIPEC was able to extend the postoperative recurrence time for patients with PMP.
