Checklists for the Treatment of Tumors of the Peritoneum: Framework SOP

Abstract

The checklist should provide a basis for the development of an individual treatment manual and standard operating procedures. Processes that already exist in the particular department and national guidelines can easily be integrated.

The development of a detailed treatment manual offers the possibility to reappraise familiar processes. Frequent changes of national and international guidelines – for example, guidelines for the transfusion of blood components, recommendations for perioperative nutritional support, or novel options for medical treatment of the underlying disease – should be checked regularly for modifications and amendments.
