Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is a common presentation of several gastrointestinal and gynecological malignancies. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS + HIPEC) is a treatment regimen recently introduced in Pakistan for PC. The goal of cytoreductive surgery is complete removal of macroscopic disease. ⋯ No 30-day perioperative mortality was seen. It was concluded that with effective patient selection, surgical skills and center experience, CRS+HIPEC can have low perioperative morbidity and mortality, and complete cytoreduction leads to prolonged overall survival. Key Words: Peritoneal carcinomatosis, Cytoreductive surgery, Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
