Cytoreduction surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) as treatment choice of metastatic Urachal carcinoma
International Journal of Surgery Case Reports(2024)
摘要
Introduction
Urachal carcinoma accounts for approximately 0.01 % of all adult malignancies and 1 % of bladder cancers. Its prognosis remains poor, with a 5-year overall survival rate of less than 50 %.
Presentation of case
A 51-years-old black female, affected by peritoneal malignancies from urachal carcinoma, underwent multiple surgical cytoreduction (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) with different chemotherapy regimen, alternating with intravenous chemotherapy. Thirty-two months recurrence-free survival was registered, and overall survival was more than 5 years.
Discussion
Our case suggests the importance of rigorous follow-up with both tumor marker testing (CEA) and imaging studies. Optimal debulking surgery plays a pivotal role in controlling primary and recurrent disease. The use of combined intraperitoneal and intravenous chemotherapy may have contributed to her long-term survival.
Conclusion
CRS and HIPEC combined with intravenous chemotherapy may be potential candidates for treating patients with urachal carcinoma with peritoneal metastases. Our patient is a challenging case in daily surgical practice.
