Abstract

The article shares the perspectives of the author on the study regarding the applicability of cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy for the management of patients who have a peritoneal surface malignancy. The manuscript focuses on an evolution of treatment strategies used over an 8-year time period. For him, the researchers made the important observation that most of the patients who succumb to cancer after these treatments die as a result of continued carcinomatosis.
