The Role of Prophylactic or Adjuvant Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Therapy in Appendiceal and Colorectal Cancer Peritoneal Metastasis.

Appendiceal neoplasms and colorectal cancer have a propensity to develop peritoneal metastases. Despite advancements in systemic therapy and surgical management, the development and management of peritoneal metastases remains a challenging problem. Utilization of adjuvant or prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has been described, with varying quality of data and reported outcomes. The utilization of prophylactic or adjuvant hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with appendiceal neoplasms and colorectal cancer remains an active area of exploration.
