Brief summary (registry, in English)

This retrospective cohort study was conducted at our institution, involving patients with gastric cancer, appendiceal mucinous neoplasm, or colon cancer who underwent CRS with or without HIPEC between January 2017 and December 2023. Patient selection criteria would include all the following: 1) Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score \>50; 2) stage T4b (American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\] 8th edition stage) or peritoneal metastasis was confirmed during or after surgery; 3) life expectancy \>3 months; 4) peripheral white blood cell count ≥3,500/mm3 and platelet count ≥80,000/mm3; and 5) acceptable liver, renal, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and coagulation function, and other major organ functions were able to endure a major operation. The exclusion criteria were defined as follows: 1) Performance of emergency surgery due to intestinal obstruction or perforation; 2) a history of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); 3) two or more independent surgical procedures on the gastrointestinal tract; and 4) who received postoperative enema. Patients were divided into two groups based on the treatment strategy: (1) surgery alone (No-HIPEC group); (2) surgery combined with HIPEC (HIPEC group).
