Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of First-line Polychemotherapy and Polychemotherapy in Combination With PIPAC Sessions

After the initial diagnostic laparoscopy the Control group patients undergo 6 courses of polychemotherapy according to the FLOT scheme; the examination is carried out every 3 courses (after the 3rd and the 6th courses) with the control diagnostic laparoscopy after 6 courses of polychemotherapy. In the event of the complete regression of foci along the peritoneum and receiving Cy- in the peritoneal lavage, the dynamic observation or cytoreductive surgery is considered (optionally); in case of the incomplete response the dynamic observation is carried out until progression; in case of progression the 2nd line of chemotherapy or the optimal palliative care options depending on the clinical situation is considered. After the initial diagnostic laparoscopy the Study group patients undergo courses of polychemotherapy according to the scheme FLOT (the 1st, the 3rd, the 5th courses) and mFLOT (the 2nd , the 4th, the 6th courses) in the amount of 6 (six, 3+3); the examination is carried out every 3 courses (after the 3rd and the 6th courses) with dPIPAC sessions using docetaxel (thus excluding it from the system administration) in the 2nd , the 4th, the 6th courses of polychemotherapy. Control diagnostic laparoscopy is not performed in the group No 2, its function is performed by the revision at the PIPAC session of the 6th course of polychemotherapy, which corresponds to the time interval of the Control group. In the event of the complete regression of foci along the peritoneum and receiving Cy- in the peritoneal lavage, the dynamic observation or cytoreductive surgery is considered (optionally); in case of the incomplete response the dynamic observation is carried out until progression; in case of progression the 2nd line of chemotherapy or the optimal palliative care options depending on the clinical situation is considered.
