Preoperative Radiographic Assessment Predicts Incomplete Cytoreduction in Patients with Low Grade Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Appendix

Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) for patients with low-grade mucinous adenocarcinoma (LGMA) is most effective when complete cytoreduction is achieved. We externally validated two radiographic scoring systems to predict resectability and assessed radiographic response to systemic chemotherapy (SCT). Patients with LGMA who received preoperative SCT followed by CRS/HIPEC from 2013 to 2016 were...
