Cyto-Reductive Surgery (CRS) + intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC) has a survival rate at 10 and 15 years of 63% and 59% respectively in patients with peritoneal neoplasms; severe morbidity is described in older adult patients from 17 to 56% in experienced centers, with a hospital mortality of up to 8%, there is some resistance to its implementation due to complications related to 56%, but the expectation of potential benefit is always attractive.
