In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The Investigators are researching how to improve the treatment currently available for patients diagnosed with Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP). This is a rare cancer that usually starts in the appendix and spreads around the abdomen. PMP is usually treated using a type of surgery called Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS). During the surgery heated chemotherapy will also be used to treat any cancer cells that cannot be seen and may be left behind. This is called Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC). This treatment is commonly used in the UK and in Europe, however, the chemotherapy can be given at two different doses: a lower dose over 60 minutes or a higher-dose over 90 minutes. The Investigators want to understand if there is a difference between these two doses. The higher dose has been associated with a slightly increased rate of complications but may be better at killing cancer
