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.

Interventions

PROCEDUREHyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

HIPEC is performed as postoperative chemotherapy after cytoreductive surgery for advanced-stage epithelial ovarian cancer. The first HIPEC is conducted within 48h after cytoreductive surgery: Paclitaxel 175 mg/m\^2, 43°C, 90min. The second HIPEC is performed after 48 hours of the first HIPEC. The HIPEC regimens are Docetaxel 75 mg/m\^2 and cisplatin 75 mg/m\^2, respectively, 43°C, 90min.

PROCEDUREcytoreductive surgery

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is performed when Faggoti value is less than 6 via laparoscopic exploration.

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.
