PIPAC (Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy) is a local treatment for peritoneal metastases.
-A new system of drug delivery, to the interior of the peritoneum.
-Chemotherapy gets delivered (as aerosol, under pressure) directly, where the lesions inside the peritoneum are.
-Palliative; it would allow some patients to pursue, later or at the same time, other treatments/ treat other problematic areas (lung, liver) with other therapies.
-Available at several European locations, mainly, in Germany, outside clinical trial.
-It’s minimally invasive (laparoscopic access to the peritoneum).
-Low systemic toxicity.
-Can be administered concomitantly with systemic chemotherapy.
-Feasible is cases where CRS/HIPEC is not possible.
Main criteria for PIPAC are:
– peritoneal metastasis no suitable for CRS-HIPEC
– no small bowel obstruction, ability to eat, no gastric tubing, no parenteral feeding.
– ECOG 1 or 2 (Karnofsky 60% or more)
