Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as leucovorin, fluorouracil, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether systemic chemotherapy is more effective with or without intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia in treating patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying systemic chemotherapy to see how well it works compared with or without intraperitoneal chemohyperthermia in treating patients undergoing surgery for peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer.

- description
- Patients undergo surgery and receive standard systemic chemotherapy comprising leucovorin calcium IV followed by fluorouracil IV over 30 minutes. Systemic chemotherapy will continue for at least 6 months (before and after surgery). Patients also undergo CHIP comprising oxaliplatin intraperitoneally during surgery and hyperthermia for 30 minutes.
