Carcinomatosis, Peritoneal
Conditions
Brief summary
Pressurised intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy is a new surgical technique, developed for the treatment of initially unresectable peritoneal carcinomatosis. The objective of this study was to compare the results of PIPAC associated with systemic chemotherapy with those of systemic chemotherapy alone in patients with gastric peritoneal carcinomatosis without metastasis other than peritoneal, and WHO performance status \<3.
Interventions
PIPAC procedures were performed every 6 to 8 weeks, alternating with systemic chemotherapy, replacing a cycle of intravenous chemotherapy.
