CRS Plus Oxaliplatin-Based HIPEC and Chemotherapy Versus CRS Plus Chemotherapy for Patients With Colorectal Peritoneal Metastases With Less Than 1-mm Residual Tumor8

Outcome, Time Frame Study Results Absolute Effect Estimates Quality of Evidence Plain Language Summary
CRS + Chemotherapy CRS + HIPEC + Chemotherapy
OS, 12 months HR, 1.00 (95% CI, 0.63 to 1.58) (265 patients in one study) 144 deaths per 1,000 144 deaths per 1,000 High CRS plus HIPEC and chemotherapy may have little or no effect on OS compared with CRS plus chemotherapy
Difference: 0 fewer per 1,000 (95% CI, 51 fewer to 74 more)
RFS, 12 months HR, 0.91 (95% CI, 0.71 to 1.15) (265 patients in one study) 553 recurrences or deaths per 1,000 519 recurrences or deaths per 1,000 High CRS plus HIPEC and chemotherapy has little or no effect on RFS compared with CRS plus chemotherapy
Difference: 34 fewer per 1,000 (95% CI, 118 fewer to 51 more)
Grade ≥ 3 AEs, 30 days RR, 1.32 (95% CI, 0.96 to 1.82) (265 patients in one study) 320 events per 1,000 422 events per 1,000 High CRS plus HIPEC and chemotherapy has little or no effect on or may worsen grade ≥ 3 AEs at 30 days compared with CRS plus chemotherapy
Difference: 102 more per 1,000 (95% CI, 13 fewer to 262 more)
Grade ≥ 3 AEs, 60 days RR, 1.69 (95% CI, 1.03 to 2.77) (261 patients in one study) 150 events per 1,000 254 events per 1,000 High CRS plus HIPEC and chemotherapy probably worsens grade ≥ 3 AEs at 60 days compared with CRS plus chemotherapy
Difference: 104 more per 1,000 (95% CI, 5 more to 266 more)

Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; CRS, cytoreductive surgery; HIPEC, hyperthermic peritoneal chemotherapy; HR, hazard ratio; OS, overall survival; RFS, relapse-free survival (peritoneal or distant relapse or death); RR, relative risk.
