Deskripsi

Cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) has enabled better prognosis for patients with peritoneal surface malignancies. However, in older age groups, short -and long-term outcomes are still perceived as poor. We evaluated patients aged 70 and over and determine if age is a predictor of morbidity, mortality and overall survival (OS).
