With multiple HIPEC regimens currently used as the SOC for PSM from appendiceal and colorectal cancer, MRT facilitates the selection of personalized SOC regimens tailored to each patient.Results of this study will inform future clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of MRT-selected HIPEC regimens for patients with PM from appendiceal cancer and CRC.</p>","PeriodicalId":8229,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Surgical Oncology","volume":" ","pages":"5784-5794"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144186389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
