CURRENT PROJECTS

Sardi A Hyperthermic Intraoperative Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Intraabdominally Advanced Colorectal, Appendix, gastric, small bowel, primary peritoneal, Ovarian Cancers, Peritoneal Mesothelioma and Sarcomas. This is a prospective database of Dr. Sardi’s and Mercy Medical Center’s HIPEC patients treated for intraabdominally advanced cancers from 1994 to present. This database yields significant analytical data to refine future treatment protocols and enhance patient care. 1994 to present

Sardi A. Mercy Medical Center “Pilot Study" to Demonstrate the Link between H. Pylori and Development of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). This study involves the evaluation of scientific data obtained from blood and tissue samples removed during cytoreductive surgery to determine the presence of various enteric bacteria (including H. Pylori). It further investigates the effects of antibiotics administered both pre and post surgery on the growth rate and recurrence of these tumors as well as patient survival. 2006 to present

Sardi A. Multi-center Selective Lymphadenectomy for Melanoma Trial II: A Phase III Multi-center Randomized Trial of Sentinel Lymphadenectomy and Complete Lymph Node Dissection versus Sentinel Lymphadenectomy Alone in Cutaneous Melanoma Patients with Molecular or Histopathological Evidence of Metastases in the Sentinel Node. 2006 to present

Sardi A. Chemofx assay as a predictor of outcome in patients who have peritoneal carcinomatosis treated with cytoreductive surgery, intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (IPHC) with Mitomycin C, with or without post IPHC chemotherapy. The assessment of the effectiveness of multiple chemotherapy agents on tumor tissue removed during cytoreductive surgery identifies the optimal chemotherapy agent most suited to effectively treat these cancerous tumors. 2007 to present

Sardi A. International PM Registry 2010. A world-wide, multi-institutional retrospective database creating the largest available dataset for a comparative study of conventional treatment versus radical cytoreduction with IP therapy for mucinous appendiceal cancer. This international registry is used for univariate and multivariate analysis of factors associated with survival. 2010 to present

Sardi A. A Study of Tissue Molecular Markers and Their Relationship to Treatment and Outcome in Appendiceal Cancer with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). The objectives of this research are to determine the expression or mutations in the genes K-ras, EGFR, B-RAF, VEGF, ERCC1, HER 2/Neu, TS, as well as the status of MSI in tumor tissue from advanced appendiceal cancer and to study a potential association between those genes and tumor grade, and treatment outcome such as time to recurrence, overall and disease free survival after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy and systemic chemotherapy. 2010 to present
