Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: CisplatinExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
After cytoreductive surgery, possible pneumonectomy, and possible diaphragm resection, the chest cavity will be closed in layers, leaving inflow and outflow chest tubes in place. Catheters connected to an extracorporeal perfusion circuit. Starting dose of hyperthermic cisplatin 120 mg/m2. Perfusion continued for 60 minutes after adding the cisplatin at a target temperature of 41 C (+0.5 C). In order to limit the systemic toxicity of cisplatin, amifostine administered intravenously over 15 minutes beginning 30 minutes after cisplatin perfusion. Patient response to amifostine continuously monitored by anesthesiologist. Infusion may be stopped and/or restarted based on blood pressure.
