RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, leucovorin, and fluorouracil, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Hyperthermia therapy kills tumor cells by heating them to several degrees above normal body temperature. Peritoneal infusion of heated and nonheated chemotherapy drugs after surgery may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of hyperthermic intraperitoneal oxaliplatin followed by intraperitoneal leucovorin and fluorouracil in treating patients with peritoneal cancer.

NCT00625092

Conditions

1. Peritoneal Cavity Cancer

Interventions

1. Drug: fluorouracil
2. Drug: leucovorin calcium
3. Drug: oxaliplatin
4. Procedure: cytoreductive surgery

MeSH:Fever

HPO:Fever

The infusion will be repeated on day 2. Blood samples are collected prior to surgery for pharmacogenetic studies and analyzed for the presence of genetic polymorphisms in the XPD and XRCC1 DNA repair genes and the GSTP1 and GSTM1 glutathione-S-transferase enzymes (i.e., XPD, Asp312Asn, XPD K751Q, XRCC1 Arg399GIn, XRCC1 Arg399Q, GSTP1 l105V, and GSTM1 DEL). --- Asp312Asn ---
