Research Abstract
The overarching goal of Dr. Senthil's research program is to improve the outcomes of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis through innovative research. One of the current challenges with peritoneal carcinomatosis is lack of sensitive markers for early diagnosis and prognostication. Dr. Senthil's team is focused on developing a liquid biopsy by utilizing blood- based Exosomal bio-markers in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis to serve as a predictive and prognostic tool. The advantage of liquid biopsy is that it is minimally invasive and has the potential to replace tumor biopsies to detect cancer. In an effort to precisely treat patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, Dr. Senthil is collaborating with Dr. Christopher Hughes to develop vascularized peritoneal microtumors to predict treatment response and inform treatment decisions.
On the clinical side, she conducts investigator-initiated clinical trials to change the treatment paradigm of peritoneal carcinomatosis. A phase-II clinical trial, STOPGAP to test the efficacy of intraperitoneal chemotherapy in gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis is currently accruing at UCI.
