Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel Treatment for Patients with Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma with Peritoneal Dissemination Provides a Survival Benefit

Background: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy using paclitaxel (i.p.-PTX) is expected to be a new therapeutic strategy for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and peritoneal dissemination. We evaluated the survival benefit of i.p.-PTX compared with standard systemic chemotherapy. Method...

description Background: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy using paclitaxel (i.p.-PTX) is expected to be a new therapeutic strategy for patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and peritoneal dissemination. We evaluated the survival benefit of i.p.-PTX compared with standard systemic chemotherapy. Methods: Clinical data of 101 consecutive PDAC patients with peritoneal dissemination between 2007 and 2018 were analyzed. All patients were determined to have no other sites of distant organ metastasis to the lung, bone, or liver on contrast-enhanced CT imaging. Patients underwent staging laparoscopy or open laparotomy to confirm pathological evidence of peritoneal dissemination, and to exclude occult liver metastasis. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method, and differences were compared using the log-rank test. Results: Forty-three patients were treated with i.p.-PTX (i.p.-PTX group) and forty-nine patients received standard systemic chemotherapy (Ctrl group). Nine patients did not receive any treatment (BSC group). The median survival time (MST) in the i.p.-PTX group was significantly longer than that in the Ctrl group (17.9 months vs. 10.2 months, <i>p</i> = 0.006). Negative peritoneal washing cytology was observed in 24 out of 43 patients in the i.p.-PTX group. The i.p.-PTX group tended to have a higher proportion of clinical responses than the Ctrl group (30% vs. 18%, <i>p</i> = 0.183). Conversion surgery was performed in 10 patients in the i.p.-PTX group and 2 patients in the Ctrl group after confirming disappearance of peritoneal dissemination with staging laparoscopy or open laparotomy (<i>p</i> = 0.005). The MST in patients who underwent surgical resection was significantly longer than that in patients who did not (27.4 months vs. 11.3 months; <i>p</i> < 0.0001). Conclusion: i.p.-PTX therapy provided improved survival in PDAC patients with peritoneal dissemination, and conversion surgery enhanced it in patients with favorable responses to chemotherapy. i.p.-PTX might become one of the treatment options to PDAC patients with peritoneal dissemination.
