This year we will be focusing on addressing all peri-operative aspects in the management of peritoneal malignancy. Evidence- based data on current treatments and outcomes for specific peritoneal tumor groups will be covered. The criteria for patient selection, including contra-indications and pre-operative optimization measures will be extensively discussed.
