3 Introduction Since its inception in 2002, the Peritoneal Oncology Service (POS) has grown from year to year. (p9 section 1 referrals Fig 1 and 2) More recently in we received 198 referrals (148 for appendiceal tumours and 50 for peritoneal metastases of colorectal origin (PMCR)). In this increased to 288 (186 appendix/ 102 PMCR); and from April 2015 we have received 169 referrals (112 Appendix/ 57 PMCR). Similarly the numbers of patients operated on have increased from 93 in to 145 in Since April 2015 we have already performed 78 procedures. In total, we have now performed 613 cytoreductions in appendiceal tumours and 151 such procedures in patients with PMCR (Fig 1, 2). We have prospectively monitored outcomes and have low mortality and complication rates alongside internationally comparable survival, details of which are outlined in this report. Due to the expansion of the service we have increased the workforce to support patient flow. Mr Omer Aziz was appointed in May 2014 as the 6 th consultant surgeon. His expertise in laparoscopic surgery has augmented the existing team and has allowed us to expand our minimal access service for peritoneal tumours. Mr Selvasekar and Mr Aziz have now performed 36 laparoscopic cytoreductions and HIPEC for patients with low volume, early stage disease which represents the largest cohort of patients worldwide undergoing this technique. Scott Brown and Margaret Butler joined us in July 2013 and July 2014 respectively as two additional Clinical Nurse Specialists to complement Rebecca Halstead s experience in this role. The 3 CNS s cover the entire unit s activities and provide a vital support mechanism to the patients. They are the organisational force behind the now weekly Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings and the patients investigations and clinic visits. In addition, Rebecca Halstead not only runs the telephone follow-up service but also performs her own Nurse-led telephone clinic for patients on watch and wait surveillance and for those who are post 5 years follow-up. Grant Punnett was appointed as the Unit s Data Manager in June 2013 and is responsible for the upkeep of the prospective database started in 2002 and organises the quarterly morbidity and mortality meetings. With regard to our perfusion service, we now have 4 trained perfusion practitioners who can all provide HIPEC independently with Rachel Aziz heading this group as the HIPEC service manager. We replaced our 2 older perfusion machines this year with 3 new Rand machines to ensure that we are using the most modern equipment adding to our training capabilities in this field. As recognition of the work of the unit in the area of PMCR, we were awarded Cancer Care Team of the Year by the British Medical Journal Group and MacMillan in May Our academic profile has been recognised with the appointment of Andrew Renehan as Professor of Cancer Studies and Surgery, University of Manchester in June 2013 and Sarah O Dwyer as Clinical Professor of Surgery, University of Manchester in July The report outlines the continued efforts of the team in exploring new approaches to evaluation of current and novel treatments (p4) In October 2015 we hosted the first UK course and Advanced Workshop on Peritoneal Surface Malignancy in conjunction with the European Society of Surgical Oncology (ESSO). The course attracted faculty from 10 countries and delegates from 17 countries as far as Canada and Australia. The content included Keynote addresses, lectures, a mock MDT, video based education and live operating sessions (appendix V). Our links with ESSO has inaugurated the unit as a recognised European training centre for Fellowships 1

4 in peritoneal malignancy: we currently have two registered fellows on this programme one from Greece and one from Jordan. We have recently finished redesigning and producing our website which sits within the Christie s site. This now contains up to date information for clinicians and patients. It contains a google map to assist the patient and their family with a virtual tour through the department and videos including examples of patient experiences of the service; a wide range of content is available at With regard to the future, we have recently submitted a business plan to accommodate the development of the peritoneal service in tune with NHS England commissioning for PMCR. This includes the appointment of a dedicated service manager, an additional CNS and Consultant Surgeon. Sarah O Dwyer continues to advise the Clinical Reference Group for Specialised Colorectal Services in regard to peritoneal malignancy. In 2013 she became Chair of the Peritoneal Surface Maligancy Sub Committee for The Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland. The committee meets 2-3 times each year to achieve clinical consensus for the management of these conditions. Through this group the potential expansion of treatment centres for colorectal peritoneal metastases and Commissioning through evaluation for mesothelioma is being discussed. In his role of Clinical Lead for the Interventional Procedure Unit, Malcolm Wilson is leading the 7.6m development of day-case services in the trust. It is anticipated that this project will commence in February 2016 to be operational by April This will free up operating theatre and outpatient facilities to allow further expansion of the POS alongside other surgical activities in the Trust.

6 Research and Education The research activities continue along two broad work streams: clinical studies and trials; and basic science research. In 2014/2015, from our prospective clinical databases, we presented data in five abstracts at the Peritoneal Surface Oncology Group International (PSOGI), Amsterdam, October 2014; and two abstracts at the Digestive Disease Federation Conference, London, June We led on two publications during this period one as a letter in the Journal of Clinical Oncology on the evolution of treatment of peritoneal tumour treatment (lead: Professor O Dwyer) (1); and one as a first paper on the use of laparoscopic cytoreductive surgery in the setting of risk reducing treatment in very early appendiceal mucinous tumours (lead: Mr Selvasekar) (2). Importantly, during this period, we were awarded funding from the Bowel Disease Research Foundation to fund a prospective project titled Development of an IDEAL framework to standardise the complex intervention of cytoreductive surgery for colorectal peritoneal metastases: a necessary step to phase III trials (lead: Professor Renehan). This is a combined project with the Basingstoke Peritoneal Malignancy Institute, which will start in January In 2014, we finished a decade long collaboration in Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP) basic science research with the retirement of Professor Peter Stern at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, CRUK MI (on the Christie campus). At its completion, we published a first in the world paper on the immortalisation of PMP cell lines (3). We are now establishing a new collaboration with Dr John Brognard, in CRUK MI, taking forward this work with laboratory studies on gene expression and their mechanisms in PMP, using the novel PMP cell lines (lead: Professor Renehan). Involvement in two international research activities is noteworthy. 1), Manchester is part of a European Horizon (H2020) programme grant application, known as Cure4PM: lead Professor Renehan. 2), Manchester is part of the International Rare Cancer Initiative (IRCI) in peritoneal malignancies (leads Professor Renehan, Dr Saunders). From an educational perspective the team has been active internationally In 2013 we were central to the First INDO-UK Oncology Summit in Chennai, India. Lectures and workshops were run by the POS team in conjunction with The Christie School of Oncology. In 2014 Mr Selvasekar co-ordinated a two day programme specifically dealing with POS which included a joint MDT by teleconference with the Chennai team and a demonstration operating session transmitted live to the auditorium in Chennai. The team have given a number of lectures and presentations and hosted visiting surgeons and trainees from India, Egypt, Germany and Jordan Publications : References 1.

9 Patient and Public Engagement A patient survivorship group has been generated following requests from patients and their families. In December 2015 the first formal meeting will take place supported by the Clinical Nurse Specialists Rebecca Halstead and Margaret Butler. This will be aimed at patients within the Peritoneal Tumour Service and will allow opportunities to meet one another/support each other, ask the team questions and engage with the complimentary therapies team. The expectation is to have an annual Afternoon Tea and meeting with an agenda led by the patients themselves. Over the last 18 months there have been a number of events hosted by patients and their families including, coffee mornings, a bake off and a vintage tea party. Whilst these events raise money donated to the PMP research and patient support fund they also allow fellowship, support and camaraderie. The redesign of the Web site was centred around improving access for patient and families to a virtual tour of the facilities that they are likely to come across through their patient journey. We have included video vignettes of patient experiences to help demystify the treatments of these rare conditions. We will be undertaking a service user experience survey in 2016 which will include patients/families/ supporters and professionals to identify areas for improvements 7
