  • Cancer that has spread to the lining surfaces of the peritoneal (abdominal) cavity from ovarian cancer, primary colorectal cancer, appendiceal cancer, or mesothelioma and pseudomyxoma peritonei-known as peritoneal carcinomatosis-are cancers that are frequently referred to as peritoneal cancers. (cedars-sinai.org)
  • PET-CT can also be done to determine if disease has spread outside the abdominal cavity, such as the lungs. (cedars-sinai.org)
  • Fluid in the abdominal cavity also can be sampled to look for the presence of cancer cells. (cedars-sinai.org)
  • This procedure is also used to evaluate the extent of disease in the peritoneal cavity and to calculate the peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) which is used to determine if a patient is a candidate for cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC). (cedars-sinai.org)
  • HIPEC is essentially a chemotherapy 'bath' that delivers heated chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity, where it penetrates the diseased tissue directly. (cedars-sinai.org)
  • For low-grade mucinous neoplasm and low-grade mucinous adenocarcinomas confined to the abdominal cavity, the most successful treatment is a combination therapy that consists of specialized cytoreductive (tumor removal) surgery to remove all of the visible tumors and affected tissues, followed by localized application of heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy to eliminate residual microscopic disease. (theoncologynurse.com)
