Cytoreductive Surgery with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Peritoneal Sarcomatosis

(1) Background: Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with HIPEC is considered the standard of care for selected patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, but evidence-based treatment recommendations for the therapy of peritoneal sarcomatosis are scarce. (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all adult patients treated with CRS and HIPEC for peritoneal sarcomatosis between 2017 and 2024. (3) Results: Ten patients with a median age of 46.1 years (range: 23-77 years) with metachronous (40%) or synchronous (60%) peritoneal sarcomatosis from six different tumor entities were treated according to tumor board recommendation using CRS and HIPEC with cisplatin and doxorubicin over 60 min at 42.0 °C. The length of stay in the intensive care unit and hospital was 1.24 (0.6-1.9 days) and 11.1 days (6-17 days), respectively. Complete cytoreduction was achieved in 90% of the patients, with a median PSI of 11.5. Postoperative complications occurred in five cases, but no surgical revisions were necessary, and no acute kidney damage was recorded. (4) Conclusions: CRS with HIPEC in the presence of peritoneal sarcomatosis could be safely performed in our collective. Whether this resulted in an oncological treatment benefit cannot be concluded in view of the heterogeneous and small collective. Therefore, larger and prospective studies are warranted.
