Peritoneal Cancer Overview
Peritoneal cancer includes primary malignancies originating in the abdominal mesothelium and secondary disease resulting from tumor dissemination into the peritoneal cavity. Primary peritoneal cancer includes histological classifications such as extraovarian primary peritoneal carcinoma (EOPPC), serous surface papillary carcinoma, papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum, extraovarian Mullerian adenocarcinoma, and normal-sized ovarian carcinoma syndrome.
Common clinical presentations include abdominal bloating, distension, nausea, indigestion, anorexia, weight loss, fatigue, constipation, and abdominal or back pain. Abdominal distension, pain, ascites, and a palpable abdominal mass are frequently reported.
Disease progression involves tumor cell detachment from primary cancers, including ovarian, colorectal, and gastric malignancies, followed by circulation through peritoneal fluid and adhesion to the mesothelium. Tumor cells subsequently invade surrounding tissues, stimulate angiogenesis, and establish metastatic deposits. Dissemination may also occur through lymphatic pathways or during surgical procedures.
Diagnosis combines laboratory testing, imaging, cytology, and histopathology. Investigations may include complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, coagulation studies, serum albumin, and tumor markers such as CA-125, carcinoembryonic antigen, CA 19-9, alpha-fetoprotein, and CA 15-3. Ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and PET-CT support the evaluation of masses, ascites, peritoneal dissemination, and metastases. Paracentesis, biopsy, laparoscopy, laparotomy, and immunohistochemistry may be used for definitive characterization.
Current peritoneal cancer treatment uses multimodal strategies that may include cytoreductive surgery, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. Intraperitoneal approaches include early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy, and bidirectional/neoadjuvant intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy. Agents used across treatment settings include mitomycin C, cisplatin, oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, taxanes, PARP inhibitors such as olaparib, and checkpoint inhibitors.
Peritoneal Cancer Pipeline Highlights
The report assesses commercial and clinical opportunities across Phase III, Phase II, Phase I, Pre-clinical, and Discovery stage programs. It identifies research trends, unmet needs, novel technologies, clinical trial activity, and emerging therapeutic strategies intended to improve outcomes for patients with peritoneal cancer.
Selected Emerging Peritoneal Cancer Drugs
- AZD5335 - AstraZeneca: AZD5335 is an FR?-targeted antibody-drug conjugate carrying the topoisomerase-1 inhibitor payload AZ14170132. The candidate is being evaluated in Phase III development for peritoneal cancer. RC88 - RemeGen Co., Ltd.: RC88 is a mesothelin-targeted antibody-drug conjugate incorporating a cleavable linker and MMAE cytotoxic payload. It is currently in Phase II development. Sovilnesib - Volastra Therapeutics, Inc.: Sovilnesib is an orally bioavailable, small-molecule inhibitor of KIF18A. Its activity may disrupt bipolar spindle integrity and inhibit proliferation in tumors with chromosomal instability. The drug is in Phase I development. BL-M17D1 - SystImmune Inc.: BL-M17D1 is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting HER2-expressing solid tumors. It uses a specialized linker and cytotoxic payload to induce tumor cell death following internalization. The candidate is in Phase I development.
