Peritoneum Cancer – Introduction & Treatment Methodology
Peritoneal cancer is a rare but serious type of cancer that occurs in the peritoneum, a thin layer of tissue lining the inside of the abdomen. This lining provides a protective cover for the abdominal organs and serves as a lubricated surface allowing organ movement.
A rare cancer starting in the peritoneum, similar to epithelial ovarian cancer but can occur without ovaries. It arises from the peritoneum’s cells, distinct from ovarian involvement.
Also known as peritoneal carcinomatosis, it results from the spread of other cancers (like stomach, colon) to the peritoneum, with treatment depending on the primary cancer’s origin.
A rare, aggressive cancer linked to asbestos exposure, affecting the abdominal lining and presenting with symptoms like pain and swelling.
An aggressive, rare cancer affecting mainly young males, characterized by small, round cells, often widespread at diagnosis, posing treatment challenges.
Testing and Screening for Peritoneum Cancer
- CT Scan: Offers detailed images of the abdomen to spot tumors or abnormalities.
- MRI: Provides enhanced soft tissue images, useful for assessing peritoneal cancer spread.
- Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to detect fluid or masses in the abdomen.
Tests like the CA-125 can indicate peritoneal cancer by measuring specific protein levels, though results may vary with other conditions.
The conclusive method for diagnosing peritoneal cancer, involving tissue sample examination.
- Percutaneous biopsy: Needle insertion through the skin, often using imaging for guidance.
- Laparoscopy: A minimally invasive procedure using a camera and tools through small incisions to view and sample the peritoneum.
Causes and Risk Factors of Peritoneum Cancer
Risk is higher in those with a family history of peritoneal, ovarian, or breast cancer, often due to BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations.
More common in women and individuals over 60, suggesting accumulated risk factors over time.
This condition can increase risk by causing inflammation and cellular changes in the peritoneum.
Past surgeries or chronic abdominal inflammation may heighten risk by altering peritoneal cells.
Linked to peritoneal mesothelioma, asbestos fibers can cause long-term inflammation and cancer in the peritoneum.
Obesity and smoking might indirectly increase risk through inflammation and bodily changes.
Symptoms of Peritoneum Cancer
Persistent or intermittent abdominal pain that may be vague and not localized to any specific area. It’s essential to pay attention to ongoing discomfort, even if it’s mild.
Noticeable increase in abdominal size or persistent bloating unrelated to meal intake, often caused by fluid accumulation (ascites) in the abdominal cavity, commonly associated with peritoneal cancer.
Peritoneal cancer can cause noticeable alterations in bowel movements, including constipation or diarrhea. These changes are often variable and should be monitored if they persist.
These symptoms may manifest, particularly if the cancer affects the stomach or significant fluid buildup occurs in the abdomen, potentially impacting digestive processes.
This early satiety, or feeling full after consuming only a small meal, can lead to a reduced appetite and subsequent weight loss, which is a concerning symptom.
Any significant weight loss that occurs without changes in diet or exercise routines can be a red flag for peritoneal cancer, especially when coupled with other symptoms on this list.
A deep, unrelenting tiredness that doesn’t improve with rest, limiting the ability to perform daily activities, can be indicative of peritoneal cancer among other conditions.
Stages of Peritoneum Cancer
- Stage IA: Cancer is found only on the surface of the peritoneum.
- Stage IB: Cancer is present on the peritoneum’s surface and may also involve the organs within the pelvis.
In stage I, the cancer has not spread beyond the peritoneum or the pelvis. Treatment at this early stage often involves surgery and may have a more favorable outcome.
- Stage IIA: Cancer has spread to some organs in the abdomen, such as the liver or spleen surface.
- Stage IIB: The spread includes more extensive involvement of organs within the abdomen.
At stage II, the cancer has begun to spread beyond the pelvis but is still within the abdominal cavity. Treatment may involve more extensive surgery combined with chemotherapy.
- Stage IIIA: Cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes and more organs within the abdomen.
- Stage IIIB: The spread is more extensive, with larger tumors present in multiple abdominal organs.
Stage III indicates more significant spreading, which may involve lymph nodes and a wider area of the abdominal cavity. Treatment often involves a combination of surgery to remove as much cancer as possible and chemotherapy to target cancer cells.
Stage IV peritoneal cancer has spread beyond the abdomen to distant parts of the body, such as the lungs or bones. This stage signifies advanced disease and may require a more aggressive treatment approach, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and palliative care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Integrative Cancer Treatments at Art of Healing Cancer
Administering high-dose Vitamin C intravenously, this therapy is explored for its potential to produce hydrogen peroxide, which may target cancer cells, enhance life quality, and mitigate side effects of traditional treatments.
An innovative therapy where patients inhale molecular hydrogen gas, leveraging its antioxidant properties to potentially reduce oxidative stress in cancer cells. Its efficacy and safety in humans are subjects of ongoing research.
Involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment, believed to enhance tissue oxygenation and aid healing. Used cautiously in cancer care to potentially improve chemotherapy and radiation effectiveness and manage side effects.
Utilizes extracts from the European mistletoe plant, injected to possibly stimulate the immune system and exert cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. While popular in Europe for quality of life improvement, its scientific validation remains mixed.
An ancient Indian practice focusing on body system balance through diet, herbal treatment, and yogic breathing. Aimed at detoxification, boosting defense mechanisms, and overall well-being, it complements conventional treatments despite limited clinical trial evidence.
Treatment Options for Peritoneum Cancer
- Debulking Surgery: A primary surgical method for advanced peritoneal cancer aiming to remove as much tumor as possible, including affected tissues and organs, striving for no visible disease remaining.
- Peritonectomy: Removal of parts of the peritoneal lining affected by cancer spread, targeting various abdominal and pelvic areas.
- HIPEC: Post-surgery, the abdominal cavity is treated with heated chemotherapy to target residual cancer cells, minimizing systemic side effects.
