Cytoreductive Surgery and Perioperative Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Surface Malignancy of Gynecologic Origin (PDF)

Evgenia Halkia
The treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies through cytoreduction with peritonectomy procedures and intraperitoneal chemotherapy can be considered one of the most significant milestones in surgery in recent decades, alongside organ transplantation and minimally invasive surgery. The goal of Cytoreductive Surgery and Perioperative Chemotherapy for Peritoneal Surface Malignancy of Gynecologic Origin is to integrate the management of peritoneal surface malignancies from gynecological origin into an academic text. It is edited by Professor Paul Sugarbaker and Professor Evgenia Halkia, featuring 12 chapters: preoperative assessment, prognostic indicators, enhanced recovery protocols, the use of minimally invasive techniques, advanced surgical procedures, and modalities of intraperitoneal chemotherapy. Surgeons dedicated to the treatment of peritoneal metastases share a common characteristic: the deep conviction that therapeutic effort is essential and valuable for these patients. Most of them have experienced, and still experience, abstentionist attitudes in scenarios where the disease can still be cured. This book is a valuable contribution that will be part of a mountain of evidence that has been built for more than three decades in the treatment of peritoneal surface malignancies. This book contains not only a profusion of informative material but also a source of inspiration for all those seeking to advance in this exciting and challenging field of oncology.
