By decreasing drug drainage through the peritoneal and tumoral vascular networks, epinephrine increases the penetration of cisplatin and oxaliplatin into the metastatic peritoneal tumor nodules. This improved drug penetration increases their antitumor efficacy, allowing the cure of millimetric-sized peritoneal tumor nodules that could not be obtained with cisplatin or oxaliplatin used alone. However, limited drug diffusion into supramillimetric nodules did not result in curing advanced peritoneal carcinomatosis, unless complete resection of macroscopic localized tumor nodules is performed before intraperitoneal chemotherapy. In our opinion, the intraperitoneal epinephrine-cisplatin combination should be clinically assessed in completely or almost completely surgically resected peritoneal carcinomatosis with the objective of preventing recurrent tumors. Due to its reduced toxicity, repeated courses of intraperitoneal oxaliplatin associated with epinephrine could be an interesting alternative to cisplatin for the unresectable disease.
