Excerpt
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a laparoscopic method for repetitive intraperitoneal administration of low-dose chemotherapy as a pressurized aerosol, claiming homogeneous intraperitoneal drug distribution, deep direct tumor penetration, and low systemic chemotherapy exposure.
1 Patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases most commonly receive PIPAC with oxaliplatin in a dose of 92 mg/m
2 every 6 to 8 weeks.
2,
3 In addition, electrostatic precipitation of the aerosol is practiced in some centers, as this might further enhance tumor penetration.
4 Although extensively described after intravenous administration
5 and after hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy,
6 the systemic pharmacokinetics of oxaliplatin after administration by PIPAC have never been investigated in humans. …
