OverviewPeritoneal carcinomatosis (Pe has long been regarded as terminal. Treatment often resorted to palliative care. PC refers to a wide variety of tumors that present with extensive peritoneal involvement with or without parenchymal involvement of solid organs such as the liver, spleen and lymph nodes. It is a common evolution of cancers of the digestive tract such as stomach, small bowel, colon, rectum, appendix and pancreas. Other tumors that may lead to these conditions include: ovarian, mesothelioma, pseudomyxoma peritonei and sarcomas. In other patients, the tumor may arise from the peritoneum itself, giving rise to what is called Primary Peritoneal Surface Malignancy. The subject has received little attention in medical literature. The last title covering this subject came from this series in 1996, edited by Paul Sugarbaker. He is a contributing author to this book.
