Abstract
Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) are aggressive and associated with poor prognosis. Cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have been used to treat PSM since 1990. In Saudi Arabia, the first HIPEC and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) were performed in 2008 and 2019, respectively. With increasing incidences of PSM in Saudi Arabia, the demand for such procedures has grown. This article outlines the status of PSM management in Saudi Arabia and its prospects.Keywords
