Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the dynamics of inflammatory parameters in presence or absence of infectious complications after cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
Detailed description
Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is the treatment of choice in patients with primary or secondary peritoneal surface malignancies. However the survival benefit is achieved at the cost of increased morbidity and mortality due to an extensive surgery and intraoperative chemo-therapy. Among complications infectious complications are the most common. The early diagnosis of a potential fatal infection is therefore crucial to ensure a good outcome in patients.
Interventions
During CRS, all visible peritoneal tumors are removed. Consequently micrometastasis are removed with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy
