Abstract

To evaluate the short- and long-term survival of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) through randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We analyzed the endpoints of AGC patients including 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival (OS), intestinal anastomotic leakage, myelosuppression, nausea and vomiting from included studies. And we retrieved RCTs from medical literature databases. Risk ratios (RR) was used to calculated the endpoints. Totally, we retrieved 13 articles (14 trial comparisons) which contained 1091 patients. They were randomized to HIPEC group and control group. The results showed that there was no significant differences in survival rates between HIPEC group and control group at 1-, 2- and 3-year follow-up, while a statistical significant overall survival effect was found at the 5-year follow-up [RR: 1.20, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.43, I2 = 0.0%]. And there is no significant difference in the risk of intestinal anastomotic leakage, myelosuppression and nausea and vomiting. Compared with the control group, HIPEC could improve the long-term OS without increasing the risk of adverse effect in AGC patients with/without peritoneal carcinomatosis, but there was no benefit at short-term OS.
