Background: Promising results have been obtained during the last decade using cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus HIPEC for selected patients with colorectal PC who are amenable to complete macroscopic resection. This is the first trial to evaluate the specific role of HIPEC, after CRS, for the treatment of PC of colorectal origin.
