Official Title: A Phase II Study of Surgical Debulking With Peritonectomy and Biweekly Intraperitoneal 5FU With Systemic Oxaliplatin/5FU/Leucovorin in Patients With Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

Brief Summary: This study prospectively evaluates a multidisciplinary approach to patients with intraperitoneal carcinomatosis at Washington University. Patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis or pseudomyxoma peritonei will undergo debulking surgery with peritonectomy and placement of adhesive barrier film followed by repeated delayed intraperitoneal chemotherapy with 5FU with systemic oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy on a biweekly schedule. A retrospective review of patients treated in a similar manner at our institution showed good tolerance and efficacy. This formal Phase II study is planned to determine the safety, toxicities and survival of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis and pseudomyxoma peritonei treated with this regimen.
