Background: CRS/HIPEC has been established as the method of choice for the management of peritoneal dissemination from appendiceal cancer. With recurrence rates after first surgery as high as 44%, re-do CRS/HIPEC is evolving as an effective recurrent treatment regime. This analysis examines the feasibility of repeated CRS/HIPEC for patients with appendiceal cancer with peritoneal dissemination and evaluates the survival outcomes. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 1074 patients who had CRS/HIPEC procedures and had a recorded tumour grade from 1996 to 2017 was performed. Morbidity and mortality as well as the survival effect was analysed. Tumour grade was divided into low grade: diffuse peritoneal adenomucinosis (DPAM); and high grade: peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis (PMCA). Results: Initial CRS/HIPEC comprised of 991 patients, with 148 of those undergoing repeated CRS/HIPEC for appendiceal cancer with peritoneal dissemination. The overall survival for patients with DPAM who had only one CRS/HIPEC was 248 months with a five-year survival of 80%, compared to an overall survival of 75 months and five-year survival of 54% in those who had repeated CRS/HIPEC. For patients with PMCA, the overall survival of those who only had one CRS/HIPEC was 63 months with a five-year survival of 47%, compared to an overall survival of 52 months and five-year survival of 44% in those who had repeated CRS/HIPEC. There was no statistically significant difference in the morbidity and mortality for patients who had repeated CRS/HIPEC for management of appendiceal cancer with peritoneal metastases when compared to those who only had one. Conclusions: This study suggests that re-do CRS/HIPEC is a feasible and effective treatment regime in the management of tumour recurrence in appendiceal cancer with peritoneal dissemination, with no difference in the morbidity and mortality of patients who had repeated CRS/HIPEC compared to only one procedure.
