Trial Evaluating Feasibility and Quality of Life of Second Look Laparoscopy With Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Eligibility Criteria

• * Patients must have histologically I-III epithelial carcinoma of the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum or Stage IVA disease in which is there complete resolution of disease (pleural effusion) with chemotherapy
• * Patients must have undergone cytoreductive surgery and 3-8 cycles of platinum-based systemic chemotherapy prior to the second look surgery. Systemic platinum based chemotherapy must be completed less than 18 weeks prior to second look surgery.
• * Cytoreductive surgery must result in an R-0, R-1 resection prior to systemic chemotherapy
• * The intraoperative peritoneal adhesion index should be \< 10.
• * Patients must be without clinical evidence of disease including a negative exam, imaging (CT or PET/CT) and normal tumor markers (CA125) after completion of systemic chemotherapy.
• * Age ≥ 18 years.
• * ECOG performance status ≤ 2.
• * Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below (within 30 days of registration): absolute neutrophil count \>1,500/mcL; platelets \>100,000/mcL; total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL; creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mg/dL; AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 3X; institutional upper limit of normal; alkaline phosphatase 3X institutional upper limit of normal
• * Adequate contraception and negative pregnancy test if pregnancy possible.
• * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign an IRB-approved informed consent document.
• * Patients greater than 18 weeks from their last course of systemic platinum based chemotherapy
• * Patients who have received additional chemotherapy for the ovarian cancer after primary therapy as outlined above.
• * Patients may not have received prior abdominal or pelvic radiation.
• * Extensive intra-abdominal adhesive disease noted at the time of initial cytoreductive surgery with PAI of \>10 as defined above
• * Intra-abdominal infection associated with initial cytoreductive surgery requiring extended hospitalization or related to systemic chemotherapy requiring hospitalization for therapy
• * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to carboplatin.
• * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
• * Pregnancy
