Ten-year experience with peritoneal mesothelioma.

Purpose: Peritoneal mesothelioma is a rare disease that remains confined to the peritoneal surfaces for long. Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is the most effective treatment and complete cytoreduction is the most significant prognostic indicator of long-term survival. This study attempted to present the results of CRS in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with peritoneal mesothelioma and identify the prognostic indicators of survival.

The effect of hyperthermic intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) as an adjuvant in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer.

Unlabelled: Background - aims: The long-term survival of pancreatic cancer is poor even after potentially curative resection. The incidence of local-regional failures is high. There is evidence that hyperthermic intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy (HIPEC) is effective in controlling the local-regional failures.

Treating peritoneal mesothelioma with cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. A case series and review of the literature.

Background: Encouraging results on survival of patients with malignant peritoneal mesothelioma have been shown with the use of cytoreductive surgery and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy. This study explores the impact of aggressive surgical treatment on overall survival of peritoneal mesothelioma.

Methods: This is a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected clinical data of all patients with diagnosis of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma treated in a designated referral centre in Greece.

Bilateral polyorchidism associated with intraabdominal cryptorchidism: a case report.

Objective: The aim of this study was to present a rare congenital anomaly of polyorchidism and to review the current management.

Clinical Presentation And Intervention: We report the case of a 19-year-old man who was referred for the treatment of an indirect left inguinal hernia. The ultrasound demonstrated a testis on the right side with an additional mass.
