Abstract
Overall survival rate of gastric adenocarcinoma is poort whatever the therapeutic is. Main reasons for this poor prognosis are regional fail ure and local recurrences. Using hyperthermia could be of interest in peritoneal carcinomatosis during gastric carcinoma: in vitro cytotoxic effect of hyperthermia is well known. Using hyperthermia in combinati on with intra peritoneal chemotherapy could improve local control. Pre liminary results of pilot studies treating peritoneal carcinomatosis w ith intra peritoneal chemohyperthermia are reported.
