Peritoneal malignancy is a rapidly growing field within surgical
oncology. National and International treatment programmes and training
curricula are being established worldwide to co-ordinate treatment and
management of these challenging clinical problems. A large body of
evidence now exists, but the practical implications of this evidence
base remain unclear. The Peritoneal Malignancy Institute in Basingstoke,
the largest centre in the world, is at the forefront of new developments
and techniques. This manual combines the experience of the PMI with the
latest evidence to provide a practice-oriented guide to the successful
set up and running of a peritoneal malignancy unit.
