About this study

Official title: Recovery of Quality of Life After Cytoreductive Surgery and Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Colorectal Cancer and Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

Cytoreductive surgery with intraperitoneal chemotherapy is one of the most important treatments for patients with colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastasis. For the best survival rates, complete removal of all metastatic lesions is the most important part of treatment, and various surgical procedures are required for the complete cytoreduction. Therefore, the postoperative morbidity rates are higher than those of localized colon cancer surgeries and patients can experience a prolonged recovery period and deterioration of physical activities over a long period. The aim of this study is to investigate the change of quality of life after cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy for colorectal cancer.

Being tested
Cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapyProcedure or surgery

    Cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy for colorectal cancer or pseudomyxoma peritonei. Either early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) or hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is used for intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Brief pain inventory (BPI)

    Pain recovery after cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy

    Measured: Changes from baseline pain scores at postoperative 12 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of life questionnaire (QLQ)-C30

    Qualify of life questionnaire for cancer patients

    Measured: preoperative, postoperative 3 months, postoperative 6 months, postoperative 12 months, postoperative 24 months

  2. EORTC QLQ for colorectal cancer

    Quality of life questionnaire for patients with colorectal cancer

    Measured: preoperative, postoperative 3 months, postoperative 6 months, postoperative 12 months, postoperative 24 months

  3. Short-form(SF)-36

    Global measure of health-related quality of life

    Measured: preoperative, postoperative 3 months, postoperative 6 months, postoperative 12 months, postoperative 24 months

  4. Postoperative morbidity

    Incidence and degree of surgical and medical complications after surgery

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  5. Postoperative mortality

    Incidence of postoperative mortality

    Measured: 90 days after surgery

  6. Postoperative recovery

    Duration of hospital stay after surgery

    Measured: 150 days after surgery

  7. Brief pain inventory (BPI)

    Pain recovery after cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy

    Measured: preoperative, postoperative 3 months, postoperative 6 months, postoperative 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Colorectal Cancer Metastatic, run by Kyungpook National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Brief pain inventory (BPI) (time frame: Changes from baseline pain scores at postoperative 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Aug 2026.
