What The Radiologist Should Know About Treatment Of Peritoneal Malignancy
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF ROENTGENOLOGY(2017)
Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to discuss the role of the radiologist in the treatment of peritoneal cancer, with focus placed on advanced treatment options and selection of patients with resectable disease for whom complete cytoreduction can be achieved.CONCLUSION. Peritoneal cancers traditionally have been associated with significant morbidity and universal mortality; however, the management of such cancers has evolved substantially. Advanced treatment options, including cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy, are associated with significantly improved long-term patient survival. To ensure that patients benefit from aggressive multimodality treatments, the radiologist plays a pivotal role in the multidisciplinary team to ensure careful patient selection, identifying individuals with resectable disease for whom complete cytoreduction can be achieved.
