    Notes: Abstract Surgery still represents the therapy of choice for patients with primary gastric adenocarcinoma. The best survival results can be achieved if a potentially curative (R0) resection can be performed whatever the extent of resection of the primary tumor (total versus subtotal distal gastrectomy). Either procedure should be accompanied by systematic lymph node dissection since lymphadenectomy has relevant diagnostic (i.e. staging) and therapeutic implications (i.e. improved survival in stage II/IIIA disease). Since most gastric carcinomas are diagnosed in advanced tumor stages, the number of patients to be treated curatively by surgery alone remains limited. Multimodality treatment, consisting of chemotherapy and surgery, may be an encouraging alternative strategy. With actual chemotherapy protocols (i.e. 5-FU/doxorubicin/methotrexate, etoposide/doxorubicin/cisplatin) high remission rates in locally advanced irresectable lesions without distant metastases can be induced. Survival in these patients has been significantly improved after chemotherapy and second-look surgery. The effectiveness of these protocols in an adjuvant setting seems a worthwhile study for the future. In addition, immunological and somatic gene therapy may be of therapeutic impact in the next decade.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Etoposid, Adriamycin und Cisplatin (EAP) führten bei 55 Patienten (Pat.) mit fortgeschrittenem Magencarcinom zu einer partiellen und kompletten Remission (PR + CR) von 70%. 16 Pat. hatten ein lokal fortgeschrittenes, primär irresektables Carcinom. Die PR + CR betrug hier 87% (14/16). 8 dieser Pat. wurden einem Sekundäreingriff zugeführt. Neben anderen Verfahren war in 4 Fällen eine Gastrektomie möglich. Die CR bestätigte sich bei 5 Pat. auch histologisch. Die Resektionsquote beim lokal fortgeschrittenen Magencarcinom mag durch präop. Gabe von EAP verbessert werden.
    Notes: Summary Etoposide, adriamycin, and cisplatin (EAP) led to partial or complete remission (PR + CR) in 70% in 55 patients with advanced gastric carcinoma. Sixteen patients had local advanced tumors for which primary resection was not possible. PR + CR was 87% (14/16) in this group. In eight patients, a second-look operation was performed. Among other procedures, gastrectomy was achievable in 4 cases. CR was confirmed histologically in 5 patients. The resectability rate in locally advanced gastric carcinoma may improve after preoperative application of EAR

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In einer retrospektiven Analyse bei 7 Patienten wurden die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der chirurgischen Therapie des Pseudomyxoma peritonei untersucht. Bei allen Patienten war die Appendix der Ursprungsort des Pseudomyxoma. Sämtliche Patienten wurden primär chirurgisch behandelt. Eine R0-Resektion war bei der Primäroperation in lediglich einem Fall mit allerdings benigner Histologie möglich, während bei den übrigen Patienten eine Tumorverkleinerung mit deutlicher Symptombesserung erzielt wurden konnte. Bei Nachweis eines Rezidivs wurden die Patienten einer Relaparotomie zugeführt, um erneut eine Tumorreduktion anzustreben. Die postoperative Morbidität auch nach Wiederholungseingriffen war gering. Die Überlebenszeiten lagen zwischen 2 und 20 Jahren, wobei besonders bei malignem Pseudomyxoma peritonei die additive Chemotherapie mit 5-Fluorouracil einen prognostischen Vorteil erbrachte. Die chirurgische Behandlung ist die Therapie der Wahl beim Pseudomyxoma peritonei, doch ist eine R0-Resektion nur in Ausnahmefällen möglich. Aufgrund der niedrigen Morbidität ist die Indikation zur Relaparotomie beim Rezidiv großzügig zu stellen. Im Vergleich zu anderen Malignomen des Gastrointestinaltrakts sind die Überlebenszeiten, möglicherweise auch durch die Anwendung einer additiven Chemotherapie, deutlich besser.
    Notes: Abstract In a retrospective study, the potential and limitations of surgical therapy of pseudomyxoma peritonei were studied in seven patients. In all patients the pseudomyxoma had originated from the appendix. All patients were primarily treated by surgery. An R0 resection at the first operation was possible in only one patient with a benign pseudomyxoma, while significant tumor debulking with improved symptoms was achieved in all other patients. If the tumor recurred relaparotomy was performed to obtain tumor reduction. The perioperative morbidity even after multiple relaparotomies was low. The survival rates ranged between 2 and 20 years with chemotherapy (5 - fluorouracil) which was of particular prognostic benefit in patients with malignant pseudomyxoma peritonei. Surgical therapy is the treatment of choice in pseudomyxoma peritonei, although an R0 resection is hardly feasible. Due to the low morbidity, relaparotomy in cases of tumor recurrence always appears to be indicated. In comparison to other gastrointestinal malignancies, the survival rates in pseudomyxoma peritonei, sometimes treated with additive chemotherapy, are superior.
