Imaging Recommendations for Diagnosis, Staging, and Management of Peritoneal Malignancies

Laparoscopic staging of peritoneal surface malignancies.

BACKGROUND The Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI) may be used in the intraoperative evaluation of peritoneal surface malignancies to estimate the feasibility of peritonectomy with intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy perfusion. Although radiologic imaging techniques detect liver and other distant metastases, they do not accurately image small cancer implants on small bowel and its mesentery, th...

Evolution of management in peritoneal surface malignancies.

Management of peritoneal surface malignancies has gradually evolved by the introduction of cytoreductive surgery in combination with intraperitoneal chemotherapy applications. Recently, peritoneal metastases of intraabdominal solid organ tumors and primary peritoneal malignancies such as peritoneal mesothelioma are being treated with this new approach. Selection criteria are important to reduce...

Current Concepts in the Diagnosis and Management of Patients With Malignant Peritoneal Mesothelioma

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPM) is a malignancy that arises from the mesothelial lining of the abdominal cavity and largely manifests as a diffuse process. There are two hallmark features of MPM. First, MPM may progress and present itself diversely among patients. While some patients may endure a quick tumor progression that is refractory to seemingly successful initial therapeutic cyto...
