Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a rare disease for which the only curative option is complete cytoreductive surgery (CRS) associated with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC).
1 Some patients are not fit for surgery because of deep involvement of at-risk regions, such as hepatic pedicle, mesenteric root, and diffuse small bowel involvement.
2 Non-resectability criteria can be assessed on preoperative imaging, but require a radiologist with vast experience.
2 The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a new simple radiologic score (RS) based on the peri-hepatic thickness of tumor burden on preoperative computed tomography (CT) for patients with PMP undergoing CRS and HIPEC.
