Özet

We aimed to present our clinical experience for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis from large bowel carcinoma. Eight patients with peritoneal carcinamatosis from colorectal carcinoma had cytoreductive therapy. There were 4 men, 4 women ranging in age 23 to 75 years (mean 51 yrs.). The treatment included cytoreductive surgery, early postoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy and late postoperative systemic chemotherapy. Mean survival oft he patients was 11.6 months. Six (75 %) out of 8 patients were alive. Two (25 %) patients died of disease. Although it is small series cytoreductive approach seems to have some benefits for the patients.
