201 Consecutive Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) Procedures in a Single Asian Tertiary Centre.

CONCLUSION: The combined treatment of CRS and HIPEC is beneficial and is associated with reasonable morbidity and mortality in Asian patients with PC from colorectal, ovarian, appendiceal, primary peritoneal and mesothelioma primaries. Complete cytoreduction and extent of disease are the most important prognostic factors for survival. PMID: 27855557 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
