title: [Intraperitoneal high-dose cisplatinum chemotherapy (CDDP-ip) in patients with carcinomatous peritonitis].
abstract: Immediately after CDDP-ip, the level of free Pt in ascites reached nearly 100 micrograms/ml, and the AUC (area under the curve) for ascites was 20-140 times greater than that for serum. The free Pt in serum following CDDP-ip administration was detected for several hours, and interestingly, the AUC for serum after ip therapy was 0.4-2.2 times greater than that after iv therapy. As a result, free Pt was found to act on cancer cells in the abdominal cavity directly at a high concentration. At the same time, the possibility of an antitumor effect from the vascular side of the tumor was also suggested. On the other hand, cases of ovarian cancer had various levels of peritoneal clearance (CLp), which depended on the severity of their carcinomatous peritonitis. The CLp had a great influence on the peak plasma concentration and on the AUC of free Pt in serum. In particular, the peak plasma concentration produced by CDDP-ip was 40-80% of the plasma concentration produced by CDDP-iv. These findings indicate that high-dose CDDP-ip is possibly effective and useful for advanced ovarian cancer, producing only very mild side effects.
