Prolonged hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy duration with 90 minutes cisplatin might increase overall survival in gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastases

Figure 5 Gamma-glutamyl transferase and total protein levels in 60 min and 90 min hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy groups. Clinically abnormal serum levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase (crude P = 0.0407) and total protein (crude P = 0.0570) were observed more often in those gastric cancer patients who received hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) for 60 min after the cytoreductive surgery. Thick lines and hollow circles represent the median and outliers, respectively. A: Gamma-glutamyl transferase; B: Total protein.
