Abstract

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) are recognized as the standard of care for selected patients with peritoneal malignancies. A complete macroscopic cytoreduction is the basis for a successful multimodal treatment. The significance of intraperitoneal chemotherapy is still under discussion. This review explains the principles and the value of HIPEC within the multimodal treatment context.

Keywords: Cytoreductive Surgery; Hyperthermia; Morbidity; Mortality; Perfusion.
