Cancer Regional Therapy
Author: Yuman Fong
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030288919
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 490
Book Description
This book is a state-of-the-art overview of cancer regional therapy (CRT) for the surgeons and interventional radiologists active in CRT development and research. The goals of this book are 1) to review the theory and practice of cancer regional therapies including pharmacology, devices, techniques, and workflow, 2) illustrate the most common procedures performed in the interventional and operating rooms, and 3) discuss data supporting use of CRT. This is meant to be a definitive text on the theory and practice of CRT. It begins with a summary of the history, technical principles that underlie regional therapy. The following parts discuss current data and practice in peritoneal, liver, limb, pleural and other sites. Included in the practice are considerations of workflow and financial issues revolving around CRT. Novel techniques and therapies under investigation are presented to inform the direction of the field. Cancer Regional Therapy summarizes the history, current technology, common procedures, and future prospects in this field and includes procedures from many surgical and interventional radiologic disciplines.

Peritoneal Carcinomatosis: Principles of Management
Author: Paul H. Sugarbaker
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461312477
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 434
Book Description
Paul Sugarbaker and his colleagues have persevered in the study and treat ment of peritoneal carcinomatosis. The peritoneal cavity has many unique and incompletely appreciated properties. These properties, coupled with the biologic behavior of many cancers, results in the seeding and growth of these cancers on the peritoneum. Many of these cancers remain localized to the peritoneum only, never metastasizing to other sites. One possible reason for this may be the obstruction of the afferent lymphatics on the undersurface of the diaphragm. The mucopolysaccharides produced by many of these neoplasma are probably viscous enough to obstruct these lymphatics, leading to the syndrome of pseudomyxoma peritonei. Many of the neoplasms taking residence on the peritoneum have extremely long cell-cycle times and are resistant to radiotherapy and many chemotherapeutic agents. How ever, much can be done for these patients - resection of primary cancers, omentectomies to reduce ascites formation, management of recurrent ascites, management of intestinal obstruction, nutritional care, and, hopefully, intraperitoneal chemotherapy. We have reviewed many of these problems in the past [1-7]. Dr. Sugarbaker and his colleagues have organized the current state of knowledge and technology for continuing use. The book provides a basis for thoughtful, prospective research planning. John S. Spratt, M. D. , F. A. C. S.

Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 3030626407
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
This book provides surgeons and oncologists with a well-founded and detailed overview of the available treatment options for peritoneal malignancy and differential selection of the appropriate forms of therapy. Systemic chemotherapy options are also considered, as are surgical cytoreduction (CRS) and all forms of intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IPC) especially hyperthermic IPC (HIPEC), and immunotherapy, including specific procedures such as PIPAC. Subsequent chapters address perioperative care, complications and recurrences, as well as psycho-oncological, palliative medical and nursing care. The process of parietal and visceral peritonectomy in the large and small intestine is additionally illustrated by three video clips accessible online. Covering a broad range of aspects, including peritoneal metastasis and intraperitoneal chemotherapy, the book offers a valuable tool for surgeons, oncologists and anesthesiologists alike.

Peritoneal Carcinomatosis from Ovarian Cancer
Author: Konstantinos N. Chatzigeorgiou
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Metastasis
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Ovarian cancer is the most common cause of death among all gynecological neoplasms. Ovarian epithelial cancer represents approximately 90% of all ovarian malignant tumours. The most usual pattern of spread and probably the earliest kind of metastasis of ovarian cancer is intraperitoneal spread, caused by apoptosis of viable cancer cells, even in cases where the ovarian surface has no visible rupture. Approximately 70% to 75% of all ovarian cancers are being diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis and ascites in advanced stages III and IV. Peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer may occur either concomitantly with the primary tumour or as a recurrence pattern of spread. Standard treatment consists of surgical debulking and postoperative systemic chemotherapy. Response rates to first-line chemotherapy with platinum/taxane combinations are high, about 70-80%, but the vast majority of patients will relapse. Peritoneal seeding is a major cause of surgical treatment failure among those patients, even after optimal debulking. However, progressing ovarian cancer tends to remain within the peritoneal cavity or, better-expressed, ovarian cancer is a cancer of the peritoneum. The administration of cytotoxic agents directly into the peritoneal cavity as treatment for malignancy was initially evaluated more than 40 years ago. Over the past two decades regional therapy of ovarian cancer has evolved from just an interesting pharmacokinetic concept into a viable management option for women with advanced disease. Several authors, and among them some of the world's leading experts on this field present the current knowledge and their experience on peritoneal carcinomatosis from ovarian cancer.

Extreme Hepatic Surgery and Other Strategies
Author: Eduardo de SantibaƱes
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319138960
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
This book describes the diagnoses; staging and management of patients with colorectal liver metastases initially considered unresectable and portrays the different strategies to increase resectability along with their tactics and tricks. Colorectal carcinoma is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world and according to recent cancer statistics around 1.23 million patients are diagnosed each year. Of these patients, approximately 50% will develop liver metastases during the course of their disease and around 15-25% are found to have stage IV disease at diagnosis. Liver resection has been recognized as the treatment of choice for these patients, offering overall 5-year survival rates of up to 50-60% and the only hope for cure. However, at diagnosis only 10-20% of these patients are possibly amenable to surgical resection with curative intent. The possibility to achieve an R0 resection is many times limited by the amount and quality of the future liver remnant (FLR), being posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF) the most feared and severe complication after major liver resections. With the years, diverse strategies have been developed with the intention to increase resectability by increasing the future liver remnant and/or reducing tumor size, e.g. ALPPS. Along with these techniques, associated surgeries are developed including multivisceral resections, which broadens even more the resectability for patients.
