A Prognostic Model for Predicting Overall Survival in Patients with Peritoneal Surface Malignancy of an Appendiceal Origin Treated with Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy

Our aim was to develop a prognostic model for predicting overall survival following cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with appendiceal adenocarcinoma and peritoneal metastasis. A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database for all patients treated for appendiceal adenocarcinoma with peritoneal metastasis from 1989 to 2012 was conducted. Overall, 734 (50.7%) males and 715...
