- Abstract
Pseudomyxoma peritonei is derived mostly from the rupture of an appendiceal cystic tumor and produces a large quantity of mucinous substance. Though its malignancy level is low, radical resection is difficult and its prognosis is poor. In some institutes in European countries and the United States, multidisciplinary treatment with chemo-hyperthermia at a relatively low temperature is performed following subtotal peritonectomy. We carried out high-temperature chemo-hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion following incomplete resections of mucinous tumors in six patients.
