Abstract:
Cytoreductive surgery with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) remains a controversial treatment for malignant disease of the peritoneal cavity. We review the scientific principles underscoring the rationale for CRS/HIPEC, recent innovations and ongoing controversies. Lack of level 1 data limits the understanding of the true benefit of CRS/HIPEC.
