ABSTRACT
The imaging has critical responsibility in the assessment of peritoneal lesions along with estimating the overall extent. Valuing disease burden is crucial for selection of combining cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy (HIPEC) treatment. An approach that combines the strength of several imaging tools and increases diagnostic accuracy, should be chosen, even if the preferred imaging tool in patients with suspected Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (PC) is CT. The outcomes of PC are mainly correlated to tumor spread, localization, and lesion size. Accurate assessment of these features is critical for prognosis and treatment planning. These data can be evaluated by Peritoneal Cancer Index (PCI), a quantitative index suggested by Harman and Sugarbaker. Additionally, precise predictive biomarkers should be established to predict PC in patients at risk. The radiomics analysis could predict PC throughout the evaluation of cancers heterogeneity.
