21 MEDIAN SURVIVAL, ALL PATIENTS Months Median Survival (Kaplan-Meier): 68 months 3-year survival: 67% (95% CI: 46 81%) 21 Probability of Survival
22 Multimodal Treatment of Peritoneal Mesothelioma RESULTS: Median overall survival 68 mos after start of Rx. 3 year survival 67% (95% C.I.) 10 pts alive, NED, at mean of 58.5 (39-78) mos. 4 pts alive with disease at mean of 62 (45-81) mos. 13 patients died at mean of 37.2 ( 8-68) mos. This includes all 4 pts with sarcomatoid disease who died at mean of 4 (1-11) mos. 22
23 RESULTS: OVERALL SURVIVAL (Kaplan-Meier) Probability of Survival Months Epithelial Biphasic 23
24 OTHER OBSERVATIONS: 3 patients, all biphasic/sarcomatoid, were unresectable at first laparotomy. Bulky disease (nodules >1 cm) did not preclude long term (>60 mo) survival. Conversely, NED at 2 nd look did not preclude later relapse. There were no voluntary dropouts. 4 patients (epithelioid) did not complete chemotherapy. 4 did not complete radiotherapy. 24
25 TOXICITY OF TREATMENT PERIOPERATIVE TOXICITIES: Aspiration pneumonia, ( 1 pt) i.p. catheter sepsis. (1 pt) Multiple abdominal abcesses/fistulae (1 pt). CHEMOTHERAPY TOXICITIES (grade 3 or 4): Grade 3 ototoxicty ( 2 ps) Gastrointestinal (3 pts) Pain (reflex sympathetic dystrophy) (1 pt) 25

27 Methods 78 consecutive patients who underwent surgical debulking and repeated intraperitoneal chemotherapy for mesothelioma between 2/97 through 6/06 by a single surgeon (JC) were reviewed. 7 patients were excluded from this study: 4 who were still undergoing treatment, 1 who had pleural involvement, and 1 who was discovered to have nonmesothelial pathology. 27
28 Statistical Analysis Overall survival, from the date of operation to the date of death or the date of last follow-up, was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and differences in survival between the histologic groups (epitheliod/tubulopapillary versus sarcomatous/mixed/ biphasic) were tested with the log-rank test. Chi-square analysis and ANOVA were used to determine differences in patient age and gender, tumor resectability at initial surgery, outcomes, and major treatment complications between the groups. A p-value of <.05 was considered significant. 28

34 Survival After Recurrence 1.00 Survival Distribution Function n=18 Median: 32.8 months Legend: Product-Limit Estimate Curve Censored Observations Months After Recurrence Kaplan-Meier curve showing days of survival for epithelial patients who showed evidence of recurrence (n=18). Months after recurrence was calculated as date of death or latest follow-up minus date of recurrence. 34
35 Observations We have documented by second-look laparotomy that intensive multimodal local treatment can be effectively applied in mesothelioma patients to mitigate or eradicate even widespread intraperitoneal tumor. This result is rarely achieved by either surgery or chemotherapy alone. This treatment is less effective in patients with biphasic/sarcomatoid mesothelioma. -more- 35
36 OTHER OBSERVATIONS: (II) In patients who recurred or who had persistent small amounts of disease, these often were found in areas less open to penetration by chemotherapy, such as the upper surface of the liver or between abutting loops of bowel. 6 month PET scan - liver 2 nd look surgery-positive 36
37 Observations III Reoperation for delayed localized recurrence has resulted in meaningful survival Surgery for late recurrence or bowel obstruction is not excessively risky Lack of disease at second laparotomy does not guarantee cure Presence of disease at second laparotomy does not preclude prolonged absence of demonstrable disease and symptoms 37
