Abstract

Purpose: Careful patient selection plays a crucial role in avoiding overtreatment and further increases survival rates in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for colorectal cancer (CRC) with peritoneal metastases (PM). Methods: The clinical and molecular factors influencing survival in patients who had undergone CRS with HIPEC between January 2015 and December 2018 were analyzed. Results: Sixty-six patients underwent CRS with HIPEC during the study period. The median overall survival (OS) was 36 months, with a 3-year OS of 43%. Multivariate analysis revealed increased PCI (HR: 1.21; 95% CI: 1.02–1.41; p = 0.020), right-sided primary tumor (HR: 3.01; 95% CI: 1.27–7.13; p = 0.017), and BRAF V600E mutation (HR: 4.55; 95% CI: 1.21–17.21; p = 0.025) as independent predictors for worse OS. Conclusion: In addition to confirming the prognostic role of PCI, our study extends the role of BRAF mutation and right primary tumor location as markers for worse prognosis.
