What this trial studies

This study conducts a longitudinal analysis of patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis undergoing cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC). It aims to evaluate cellular immune responses and microbiome changes in relation to disease outcomes. Additionally, the study will assess renal function concerning different HIPEC regimens and identify clinical surrogate parameters that may predict patient outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of immune responses and treatment efficacy in patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on HIPEC, this specific longitudinal approach focusing on immune responses and microbiomes is relatively novel.
