Carcinoembryonic antigen-specific, fluorescent image-guided cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy for metastatic colorectal cancer.

ABSTRACT: This multicentre pilot study investigated the role of peroperative carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA)-specific fluorescence imaging during cytoreductive surgery-hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy surgery in peritoneal metastasized colorectal cancer. A correct change in peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) owing to fluorescence imaging was seen in four of the 14 included patients. The use of SGM-101 in patients with peritoneally metastasized colorectal carcinoma is feasible, and allows intraoperative detection of tumour deposits and alteration of the PCI. Augmented reality guidance.
