Article Synopsis
- The peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is increasingly common due to GI and gynecological cancers and has a poorer prognosis than other metastases.
- The study aimed to analyze how the peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) impacts overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients undergoing cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
- Results showed that patients with ovarian tumors and pseudomyxoma with a PCI less than 15 had significantly better OS (over 70 months) compared to those with gastric tumors (only 4 months), indicating that both PCI and tumor type are important predictors of patient survival.
