In this episode, Gregory J. Tiesi, MD, FACS, FSSO, hosted a discussion about the use of hepatic artery infusion (HAI) in colon cancer and liver cancer management. Dr Tiesi is the medical director of Hepatobiliary Surgery at the Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Toms River and Brick, New Jersey. He was joined by: Anthony Scholer, MD, FACS, FSSO, a surgical oncologist specializing in hepatobiliary surgery, at Hackensack Meridian Medical Group and Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey Benjamin Jon Golas, MD, FACS, regional chief of Surgical Oncology for Hackensack Meridian Health's Central Region, surgical director of Oncology Services at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, vice chair of Surgery at Jersey Shore University Medical Center Cancer Surgery, and an associate professor of surgery at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine in Neptune and Edison, New Jersey Eric Pletcher, MD, a surgeon specializing in Complex General Surgical Oncology at Hackensack Meridian JFK University Medical Center in Edison Drs Tiesi, Scholer, Golas, and Pletcher explained that HAI is a longstanding regional therapy used for treating primary and metastatic tumors to the liver, notably unresectable colorectal liver metastases and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The physiologic mechanism of this treatment leverages the dual blood supply of the liver, capitalizing on the fact that these malignancies primarily derive their perfusion from the hepatic artery, the experts noted. They emphasized that by delivering chemotherapeutic agents, such as floxuridine, directly via the gastroduodenal artery, HAI concentrates drug exposure at the tumor site, maximizing antitumor effect and minimizing extrahepatic toxicity.  They explained that patient selection requires fitness for surgery and good liver function, excluding those with cirrhosis or portal hypertension. They also noted that the procedure involves implanting a subcutaneous pump, followed by rigorous intraoperative and postoperative nuclear medicine studies to confirm the absence of extrahepatic perfusion. Evidence supports that HAI combined with systemic therapy achieves higher intrahepatic objective responses, improves local disease control, and enhances conversion to resectability, correlating with improved long-term survival, the experts reported. However, potential complications include pump pocket infections, biliary sclerosis, and gastric ulcers, they added. The experts concluded by highlighting that establishing an HAI program necessitates a robust, multidisciplinary approach involving surgical oncology, medical oncology, and interventional radiology.

In this episode, Gregory J. Tiesi, MD, FACS, FSSO, hosted a discussion about innovations in regional cancer therapies. Dr Tiesi is the medical director of Hepatobiliary Surgery at the Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Toms River and Brick, New Jersey. He was joined by: Anthony Scholer, MD, FACS, FSSO, a surgical oncologist specializing in hepatobiliary surgery, at Hackensack Meridian Medical Group and Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey Benjamin Jon Golas, MD, FACS, regional chief of Surgical Oncology for Hackensack Meridian Health's Central Region, surgical director of Oncology Services at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, vice chair of Surgery at Jersey Shore University Medical Center Cancer Surgery, and an associate professor of surgery at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine in Neptune and Edison, New Jersey Eric Pletcher, MD, a surgeon specializing in Complex General Surgical Oncology at Hackensack Meridian JFK University Medical Center in Edison Drs Tiesi, Scholer, Golas, and Pletcher chatted about the use of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC), a minimally invasive regional cancer therapy designed for patients with peritoneal metastases or primary peritoneal cancers. The experts explained that this laparoscopic approach overcomes several limitations of traditional systemic treatments by delivering aerosolized chemotherapy in fine droplets under high pressure into the peritoneal cavity. This process ensures uniform drug distribution and enhanced tissue penetration, allowing for efficacy with lower systemic drug concentrations, they noted.  PIPAC candidates typically present with unresectable or recurrent disease, or symptomatic malignant ascites, and should have an ECOG performance status between 0 and 2, they elaborated. The procedure, which is repeatable every 4 to 6 weeks, includes diagnostic laparoscopy, quantification of the peritoneal carcinomatosis index, and serial biopsies to assess treatment response. They emphasized that PIPAC has a favorable safety profile, with low 30-day mortality rates and minimal grade 3/4 adverse effects reported in clinical trials. Additionally, they stated that clinical data indicate high pathologic response rates and the potential for disease downstaging, enabling some patients who were initially deemed unresectable to become eligible for subsequent cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Of note, the experts reported that PIPAC is designed to be integrated seamlessly with concurrent systemic therapy.

Michigan Central, opened in Detroit in 1913 and designed by the same architects as New York's Grand Central Terminal, was a towering landmark and the tallest train station in the world at the time. It was a symbol of the city's industrial might and later, sadly, became a symbol of blight instead. Now, through the vision of Ford Motor Co. officials and others, it is a symbol again, this time of a great city's rebirth. This week, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer joined others in announcing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the Michigan Department of Transportation, the City of Detroit and Michigan Central to begin preliminary assessments for a new multimodal transportation hub located within the 30-acre Michigan Central Innovation District, on a parcel just southwest of the station.This week's podcast features two participants in the MOU announcement: Arun Rao, Amtrak senior director for network development in their Central Region, and Sam Krassenstein, chief of infrastructure for the City of Detroit.

In a conversation with CancerNetwork®, Benjamin Golas, MD, spoke about the current treatment landscape for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, discussing how the use of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC) may offer improvements in clinical outcomes. Golas is the chief of Surgical Oncology of the Central Region for Hackensack Meridian Health. According to Golas, standard therapeutic approaches include combining cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which may cause collateral damage to healthy tissue while eliciting toxicities such as nausea, vomiting, and bone marrow suppression. Additionally, certain surgical procedures may last up to 14 hours and confer an extensive morbidity profile, thereby increasing complication rates. Golas described how PIPAC, a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, may help avoid pain and other adverse effects associated with surgery while facilitating more direct delivery of chemotherapy in the peritoneal cavity. He noted that treatment with PIPAC typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, allowing some patients to return home on the same day of the procedure.  Although clinicians are still learning the correct indications for PIPAC, Golas stated that any patient with peritoneal carcinomatosis should be a candidate to receive treatment with this strategy. Furthermore, he described how the next steps for improving outcomes in this population include finding new ways to incorporate PIPAC into more extensive treatment plans for patients.  “PIPAC is a new treatment and a new potential option that doesn't replace systemic chemotherapy, but I do think it can work in conjunction with systemic chemotherapy. We can offer this bimodal approach where we're directly treating the peritoneal disease and offering [intravenous] chemotherapy,” Golas stated. “We clearly have a long way to go in terms of clinical trials and learning what the best ways are to use this. But there are patients out there who will benefit from that, so I think referral to a center that focuses and has expertise in PIPAC for patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis is critical.”
