ABSTRACT
The High Specialty Regional Hospital of Oaxaca has become an opportunity to generate a model of comprehensive medical care for the treatment of complex diseases that require highly specialized medical care, evidence of this is in cancer patients. Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a common evolution of gastrointestinal tract or gynecological cancers. Currently, treatment is carried out with cytoreductive surgery and application of intraperitoneal chemotherapy with hyperthermia. The rigorous preoperative diagnostic study, strict selection criteria and surgical oncologists with experience in cytoreduction are mandatory and relevant to initiate a program of treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis. The attention of highly complex conditions has been performed at our institution consolidating the program of peritoneal carcinomatosis, which has allowed the multidisciplinary team involved in treating these patients such as anesthesiologists, intensive care physicians, internists, rehabilitation specialists, medical oncologists, surgical oncologists and nurses, to gain expertise, making the hospital a center of reference for this type of treatment.REFERENCES
