Brief summary

This project is a multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical observation the safety and efficacy of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy as neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT) and postoperative chemotherapy after interval debulking surgery (IDS) for advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer . PR/SD rate, percentage of optimal debulking surgery and 3-year disease-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 a high perioperative risk profile or a low likelihood of achieving cytoreduction to \< 1 cm of residual disease (ideally to novisible disease) should receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Hyperthermia promotes chemotherapy to penetrate deeper into the cancer tissue. Therefore, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) as neoadjuvant chemotherapy and postoperative chemotherapy after interval debulking surgery in the treatment of ovarian cancer could lead to higher response rate and better survival outcomes.

Interventions

PROCEDUREHyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

HIPEC is performed as neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT) and postoperative chemotherapy after interval debulking surgery (IDS) for advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. The first HIPEC is conducted within 24h after laparoscopic exploration or Interval debulking surgery: Paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2, 43°C, 90min. The second HIPEC is performed after 48 hours of the first HIPEC. The second HIPEC regimens are cisplatin 75 mg/m\^2, 43°C, 90min.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is performed after neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

DRUGneoadjuvant chemotherapy

Systemic chemotherapy regimens after HIPEC treatment are paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2 IV\>3 hour+ carboplatin AUC = 5-6 IV\>1 hour, every 3 weeks for 2 cycles in experimental group. Systemic chemotherapy regimens after laparoscopic exploration are paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2 IV\>3 hour+ carboplatin AUC = 5-6 IV\>1 hour, every 3 weeks for 3 cycles in control group.

DRUGadjuvant chemotherapy

Systemic chemotherapy regimens after HIPEC treatment are paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2 IV\>3 hour+ carboplatin AUC = 5-6 IV\>1 hour, every 3 weeks for 2 cycles in experimental group. Systemic chemotherapy regimens after IDS are paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2 IV\>3 hour+ carboplatin AUC = 5-6 IV\>1 hour, every 3 weeks for 3 cycles in control group.
