Abstract
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) plus Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) has emerged as a main comprehensive treatment of peritoneal malignancies. However, current data on the literature are very heterogeneous in terms of its technical particularities, which require some efforts to standardization of practices. In these setting, we present some early data from a engineered trial to explore the dynamic relationships between flow rates and temperature parameters in our study, which may help in selecting better technical parameters during HIPEC procedures.
