Treatment toxicity
Treatment toxicity will be analyzed using NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events-Version 4.0. Descriptive statistics will be used to determine proportion of grade III/V treatment toxicity. Expected grade III/V toxicity in surgical patients without HIPEC would be 3 out of 10 patients. With the addition of HIPEC, there would be a significant difference (p=0.05) if 6 out of 10 patients experienced a grade III/V toxicity. Therefore, if less than 6 patients experience a grade III/V we would consider this a "negative" finding.
