[Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy]. Chirurg. 2019 Jun 12;: Authors: Leebmann H, Piso P 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. PMID: 31190081 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
