Brief Summary

This project is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical observation the safety and efficacy of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in the treatment of advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer after cytoreductive surgery. Median recurrence-free survival is the primary end points of this project.

Detailed Description

The current standard treatment for epithelial ovarian cancer, tubal cancer, and primary peritoneal cancer is maximal cytoreductive surgery followed by intravenous chemotherapy with or without intraperitoneal chemotherapy (IP). Recently, the organizations of SGO and ASCO recommended that women with Fagotti score by laparoscopic exploration \< 6 would benefit from primary cytoreductive surgery followed by postoperative chemotherapy, and are likely to attain optimal cytoreduction (residual lesion ≤ 1 cm).

Hyperthermia promotes chemotherapy to penetrate deeper into the cancer tissue. Therefore, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) as newly postoperative chemotherapy after primary cytoreductive surgery in the treatment of ovarian cancer could lead to higher response rate and better survival outcomes.

Risk factors for morbidity and mortality30 days; 3 years

The early complication and mortality are defined as the event observed within 30 days after intervention, while the time frame for late complication is the period beyond 30 days after intervention to the end of 3 years. Complications are ranked from grade 0-5 according to CTCAE V4.0
