Circulating Tumor Cell, Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy, Peritoneal Metastases
Conditions
Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of circulating tumour cells (CTC) in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy due to gastrointestinal cancers that have spread to the peritoneum.
Detailed description
CTCs har extracted by way of a new method at baseline, during surgery, and postoperatively. The occurence of such CTCs will be investigated for prognostic evaluation. Patients will be follow-up by Clinical routine. Disease recurrence and overall survival will be the endpoint used.
Interventions
New method of circulating tumour cell detection and capture.
