MAY 2014: Research News from Armando Sardi, M.D., Vadim Gushchin, M.D. and Kurtis Campbell, M.D. We are delighted to announce that our abstract, Systemic chemotherapy (SC) before cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with peritoneal mucinous carcinomatosis of appendiceal origin (PMCA), has been accepted for publishing in conjunction with the 2014 ASCO Annual Meeting in Chicago.
Our ability to continue our research and writing is only possible due to your unwavering support. The research and publications are essential to achieving our goal of raising awareness in the medical community and we could not do this without you.
