Aim: We studied to present our initial experience of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) or early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (EPIC) in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Material and Methods: The results of 20 consecutive patients treated with CRS±HIPEC or EPIC for peritoneal carcinomatosis in our hospital between November 2014 and February 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. Demographic, clinical and histopathological data of the patients were analyzed. The patients were also divided into two groups as PCI score 0.05).
Conclusion: Cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy provide satisfactory results in the treatment of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. Good preoperative evaluation, appropriate patient selection and multidisciplinary approach are essential for the success of the curative approach to peritoneal carcinomatosis.
