Assuming that peritoneal carcinomatosis is a local/regional dissemination of disease, a treatment strategy utilizing cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy was developed to treat colon cancer. In an attempt to improve knowledge of the mechanisms controlling abdominal and pelvic recur...
