    AbstractCytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is associated with high morbidity. The Quality of Life (QoL) assessment in this patient group with a limited life expectancy and high recurrence rate is important. Published data show an impairment of postoperative Quality of Life at 3 months postoperatively with an improvement over 6-12 months at levels higher than the baseline. Standardized instruments QoL have to be included in clinical trials assessing the efficacy of CRS and HIPEC.(c) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
