Peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) can arise directly from peritoneum (primary) or from regional spread of gastrointestinal and gynecological malignancies. It is often considered a terminal event. CRS/HIPEC procedure provides encouraging outcomes in select sub-set of patients with PC. In this study we present our initial experience of this combined procedure from a tertiary cancer care center in India.
