“…Peritoneal surface malignancy if treated by surgery alone, inevitably progresses because of free intraperitoneal tumor emboli, fibrin entrapment of intraabdominal tumor emboli on denuded peritoneal surfaces and progression of entrapped tumor cells through growth factors involved in wound healing process [13]. Perioperative chemotherapy given by intraperitoneal route reduces the chances of progression of disease by killing the residual microscopic disease.…”

“…Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is best delivered either at the time of surgery or immediately following it since the cytotoxic activity of perioperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy destroys the cancer cells within the fibrin produced as part of the wound healing process. Delayed administration of intraperitoneal chemotherapy not only results in poor penetration of the chemotherapeutic agent into the cells trapped in the scar but also in a non-uniform distribution of chemotherapy within the peritoneal cavity due to adhesions [32].…”
