Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cancer with peritoneal metastasis is a special form of metastasis and is difficult to treat, though many new drugs have been applied. For the past few decades, cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have provided another treatment option. Many patients do not experience recurrence after CRS/HIPEC. However, it seems that CRS/HIPEC is only effective for some types of cancer and there exist conflicts regarding treatment results. Furthermore, there is still no global consensus regarding timing, temperature setting, hyperthermic duration or even drug choice. Genetic alteration may be a factor affecting the treatment results. Minimal invasive CRS/HIPEC is currently in development. Many trials are ongoing, with possible new findings on the horizon. This Special Issue welcomes reviews, original research articles of clinical works, new techniques, diagnostic tools, clinical trials and experimental studies.
