Aim of the course
This advanced course on CRS, HIPEC and intraperitoneal treatments for peritoneal malignancies aims at discussing evidence-based clinical decision-making in the management of primary and secondary peritoneal cancers. It will offer a multidisciplinary programme combining both practical aspects and theoretical problems. This year’s programme will feature debates and ‘pro-con’ sessions on key controversies in peritoneal surface oncology. In the wet-lab, the participants will have an opportunity to learn open and minimally invasive cytoreductive surgery (NEW).
The theoretical part of this course can be attended by ESPSO participants as an additional course to complete the programme.
