Abstract
[Objective] To explore the efficacy with prognostic value of postoperative prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for locally advanced gastric cancer with clinical stage cT3-4NxM0. [Methods] A retrospective collection and analysis of clinical data was conducted from 60 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (cT3-4NxM0) who underwent D2 radical surgery between January 2016 and December 2021 at our department. Patients who underwent prophylactic HIPEC were classified into the HIPEC group (n=30), while patients who did not undergo prophylactic HIPEC were clssified into the control group (n=30). Both groups of patients routinely were treated with postoperative adjuvant systemic chemotherapy. The median survival time, and overall survival rate of the two groups were compared through follow-up, and the risk factors affecting the overall survival rate were analyzed. [Results] The median survival time of the HIPEC group was 51.0 months (95% CI: 40.7-61.3), which was higher than that of the control group with 30.0 months (95% CI: 16.3-43.7). The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates of the HIPEC group (66.7%, 53.3%)were higher than those of the control group(56.7%, 43.3%) (P=0.019). Prophylactic HIPEC was the protective factor affecting the overall survival rate of postoperative patients with locally advanced gastric cancer (P=0.021). [Conclusions] For patients with locally advanced cT3-4NxM0 gastric cancer, prophylactic HIPEC plays an important role in prolonging the median survival time, hence impro-ving the overall survival rate of patients.
