Abstract
The management of peritoneal surface malignancy is a signifi cant clinical problem. The hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) combined with cytoreductive surgery seems to be the most promising method, leading to better local control or improved overall survival in selected patients with a peritoneal neoplasm. In this paper the authors present a consensus for the optimal indications and technical guidelines for performing HIPEC in Poland.
