Health related quality of life is excellent and sustained at two decades after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in survivors of pseudomyxoma peritonei of appendiceal origin

INTRODUCTION: Optimal management of pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is by cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which can achieve 20-year disease-free, and overall survival. There is limited information on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of PMP survivors beyond five years. We report longitudinal HRQOL in patients with PMP of appendiceal origin up to 17-years after their CRS and HIPEC in 2003-2004.

METHODS: Patients had HRQOL assessed with EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaires pre-operatively, and at 1-, 10- and 17-years post-operatively. Comparisons in global health-related QOL (global-HRQOL) measures were made with (1) an age- and sex-matched normal European population, (2) between patients who underwent complete cytoreduction (CRS CC0/1) versus maximal tumor debulking (MTD), and (3) between those with and without peritoneal recurrence.

RESULTS: Forty-six patients underwent CRS & HIPEC for appendiceal PMP. One patient withdrew from the study. Of the 45 patients, 23 patients were alive at ten and 15 patients at 17-years post-operatively. 21/23 (91%) and 14/15 patients (93%) completed questionnaires respectively. Pre-operatively, patients had significantly lower global-HRQOL compared with the reference population. Over follow-up, patients experienced improvements in their global-HRQOL. By post-operative year-10 and -17, there was no difference between the global-HRQOL of patients and reference population. As expected, patients with CC0/1 and without peritoneal tumor recurrence had better global-HRQOL at ten- and 17-years post-operatively compared with those with MTD or recurrence.

CONCLUSIONS: Optimal CRS and HIPEC is an effective treatment for appendiceal PMP that can achieve long-term survival. HRQOL is excellent and maintained, in those who have CC0/1 without recurrence.
