📢Guideline update CRS+HIPEC listed as a therapeutic option for limited gastric PM (PCI<10) OR a positive peritoneal fluid cytology nccn.org/professionals/physi… Congratulations to the investigators of studies that lead to this and thank you for the persistance against this bad disease! #CYTOCHIP @glehenolivier #BrianBadgwell #YanLi #YutakaYonemura @ChariteBerlin #BeateRau @MDAndersonNews #ChicagoConsensus @kturaga @RENAPE_Network May lead to more timely referrals around the 🌍 for CRS+HIPEC and use of IPC/PIPAC/NIPEC in addition to systemic chemotherapy for unresectable disease! But PIPAC after CRS???? 🤔 What's the evidence to support that recommendation? @alarjosan @AndreasBrandl8 @MufaddalKazi @SPeritoneum @indepso @DeliaCortesGuir @oliviawriting @SafakGuel @FarazKh65499316 @docswapnil01 @DrFloresAyala @DrSGlezMoreno @dr_mohammadyami @CashinPtr @KurtSpeeten
