Brief summary

Multicentric randomised trial. Patients with a high risk of developing colorectal Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (PC) after resection of their primary will be informed, will sign the consent and will be pre-registered. All patients will receive the current standard adjuvant treatment : 6 months of systemic chemotherapy (currently the Folfox-4 regimen which could be modified if the standard is modified). Then a work-up is done to exclude recurrence. The likelihood of a recurrence is low but if this occurs, the patient will not be randomised and will be treated with the best known treatment. If the work-up is negative, patients will be randomised to surveillance alone (control group) or exploratory laparotomy + HIPEC (experimental group).

Inclusion criteria

A) Patients presenting with the following history: 1. Histologically-proven colorectal adenocarcinoma 2. Presenting at the time of resection of the primary with one of the following 4 criteria (criteria indicating a high risk of developing PC) : * Minimal PC, resected at the same time as the primary * Ovarian metastases * Rupture of the primary tumour inside the peritoneal cavity, * Iatrogenic rupture of the primary tumour during surgery B) Who have received standard systemic adjuvant chemotherapy (6 months of systemic chemotherapy) : * Chemotherapy with the Folfox 4 regimen (the current standard treatment ; it can be modified in the future in the two groups, if the standard is modified…). * Given on an intent-to-treat basis (it can be stopped prematurely for miscellaneous reasons…); C) Patients who do not present any sign of tumour recurrence at the end of these 6 months of chemotherapy. D) Patients with the following general characteristics: 1. Age between 18 and 70 years, 2. Performance Status WHO \< 2, life expectancy \> 12 weeks, 3. Haematological parameters : Polynuclear neutrophils ³ 1.5x109/L, platelets ³ 100x109/L, 4. Liver function : Total Bilirubin £ 1.5 x ULN, AST (SGOT) et ALT (SGPT) £ 3 x ULN, alkaline phosphatases £ 3 x ULN, 5. Renal function : Plasma creatinine £ 1,25 x ULN, 6. Operable patients, 7. Grade £ 2 peripheral neuropathy (CTC AE v3.0 annex 7) 8. Patients entitled to French National Health Insurance coverage. E)Patients will be informed and a signed consent form will be obtained before initiating any procedure specific to the trial.
