Abstract

Among patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, 25% have isolated peritoneal carcinomatosis. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients undergoing hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with oxaliplatin. Eleven studies were included in the final assessment. Pooled three- and five-year OS rates were 58.60% and 42.19%, respectively. The estimated pooled three- and five-year DFS rates were 23.47% and 14.26%, respectively.
