Abstract | Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (PC) is considered as a terminal disease with short survival. It is treated with palliative therapies, consisting of repeated drainages and sometimes instillation of chemotherapy. Since the nineties, surgery has been combined with more effective systemic chemotherapy, intraperitoneal chemotherapy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the treatment of PC. This combination therapy significantly increases the overall survival of selected PC patients. The understanding of how intraperitoneal chemotherapy and HIPEC can cure patients is still unclear. Experts hypothesized that the efficacy is obtained by the ability of high peritoneal drug exposure and hyperthermia to directly kill cancer cells. Several studies indicate that cancer cells death directly influences the response of the immune system. For this reason, the protective effect of intraperitoneal chemotherapy and HIPEC could be mediated by its ability to kill cancer cells in an immuno-genic way, causing an efficient anticancer immune response. In this review, we investigate the role of the innate peritoneal or locoregional therapy-induced immune response in PC therapy. |
