Introduction: Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PK) of colorectal origin is a malignant tumour of the peritoneum caused by spreading of colorectal carcinoma (KRK) over the peritoneal surface of the abdominal cavity and its organs. PK occurs as a synchronous tumour in 1520% of patients, and as metachronous disease in 2550% of patients.

Methods: A group of 66 patients operated on for PK was retrospectively evaluated; 18 patients were excluded due to insufficient data.

Introduction: Peritoneal malignancies (PM) are observed in about 1030% of patients suffering from gastrointestinal malignant diseases, both in connection with the primary surgical management or as metachronous metastases due to cancer recurrence.

Methods: In the 1980s a new method of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) + HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) was introduced. Today, we consider this method to be the gold standard for treatment of pseudomyxoma peritonei and peritoneal mesothelioma.

Background: For highly selected patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) from colorectal cancer (CRC), an aggressive surgical approach with intraperitoneal chemotherapy may be beneficial. This management may prolong overall survival, which is well documented by the results of a number of clinical trials. In the Czech Republic, five specialized centers of surgical oncology are able to perform cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in combination with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).

Introduction: Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare malignant disease with various grades of malignancy, producing mucinous and gelatinous masses. The origin of PMP is usually connected with the rupture of appendiceal mucinous tumours, other mucinous tumours of the gastrointestinal tract or of the ovary. The staging of this disease is determined by the PCI score (peritoneal cancer index), and the efficiency of surgical procedure by the CC score.

Background: Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a rare tumorous disease with various grades of malignancy and is characterized by production of mucinous and gelatinous masses. Development of pseudomyxoma peritonei is usually associated with rupture of appendiceal mucinous tumors and other mucinous tumors of the gastrointestinal tract or ovaries. Pseudomyxoma peritonei is usually divided into three types: low-grade, high-grade, and high-grade with signet ring cells.
