About this trial

The aim of this study is to assess whether there are differences in PERITONEAL RECURRENCE in patients with Colon Cancer Peritoneal Metastases treated with complete surgical resection and systemic chemotherapy, with (Group 1) or without (Group 2) HIPEC with Mitomycin-C.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Histologically confirmed colon adenocarcinoma, except signet ring cell carcinomas (those with > 50% of the tumor composed of these cells, which comprise only 1% of all colon adenocarcinomas).

Absence of previously treated or current extraperitoneal metastases, including distant lymphadenopathy (retroperitoneal, mediastinal, etc), liver metastases, or lung metastases (ruled out by PET-scan in case of doubt).

Synchronous or metachronous peritoneal metastasis of mild to moderate volume, with a PCI ≤ 20 (Appendix 2) (intraoperative confirmation).

Macroscopically complete surgical cytoreduction CCS-0 (intraoperative confirmation).

Disqualifiers

Peritoneal carcinomatosis of any other origin, particularly rectal cancer or appendicular adenocarcinoma, or signet ring cell colon cancer on histology.

No intraoperative confirmation of peritoneal disease (PCI 0). Likewise, cases of perianastomotic (local) or lymph node (locoregional) recurrences will be excluded.

High volume peritoneal disease with a PCI> 20 (intraoperative evaluation).

Concurrent or previously treated extraperitoneal disease.
