Abstract

The management of colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases is evolving. Traditionally, patients with limited liver or lung metastases were only considered as candidates for metastasectomy. However, patients with metastasis limited to the peritoneum were found to have improved clinical outcomes with metastasectomy [1]. Although systemic therapy significantly prolongs survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, patients with PM demonstrated inferior outcomes. In the last 20 years, the recent advances in the form of CRS followed by HIPEC significantly prolonged survival in patients with colorectal peritoneal metastases with even cure reported in a selected group of patients [2].
