Abstract
Carcinomatosis has been in the past a universally fatal manifestation of gastrointestinal cancer. It has also carried a nearly lethal prognosis in ovarian cancer. It remains the major site of treatment failure with these diseases. A review of the natural history of carcinomatosis from the world literature was undertaken. The rationale, technology, and results of treatment using peritonectomy and perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy represents an essential part of the treatment. Small-volume residual disease must be treatedby chemotherapy and hyperthermia. To apply these treatments properly, selection of patients using prognostic indicators is necessary. The results of treating patients who have peritoneal mesothelioma, pseudomyxoma peritonei, and carcinomatosis from colorectal cancer indicate that progress in the curative management of carcinomatosis has been made. Peritoneal surface dissemination of cancer can no longer be equated with a terminal condition. A multidisciplinary approach to treatment employing surgery and regional chemotherapy has created a new standard of care for this pattern of cancer dissemination.
