Phase II Trial of Laparoscopic Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis or Positive Peritoneal Cytology in Patients with Gastric Adenocarcinoma.

CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic HIPEC was well tolerated, and an encouraging number of patients demonstrated an absence of peritoneal disease after HIPEC and were able to undergo gastrectomy. Comparative studies will be required to clarify survival benefits. PMID: 28799004 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
