Peritoneal carcinomatosis management through cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy: first experience in Iraq
In summary, as Iraq's first study, our study provides crucial insights into PC management. Highlighting the vital role of NACT in CRT+HIPEC treatment, our study reveals no statistically significant difference between closed and open HIPEC methods. Our study further emphasizes the prognostic value of an elevated PCI and the critical importance of optimal cytoreduction, as reflected in the Completeness of Cytoreduction (CC) score. Our findings call for continued research, collaboration, and practical application to advance PC care.
