Cytoreductive surgery aims to remove tumour that can be seen in the peritoneal cavity. For selected patients it is performed in the same operation as HIPEC. The extent of surgery depends on where the disease sits and on the patient’s fitness. That decision is made after consultation, not from a website form.

  • Removal of visible peritoneal disease
  • Often combined with HIPEC in one operation
  • Extent decided from scans and findings in theatre
