Executive Summary of the American Radium Society Appropriate Use Criteria for the Management of Peritoneal Carcinomatosis From Different Tumor Origins: Systematic Review and Guidelines.

Multimodality therapy incorporating a combination of cytoreductive surgery (CRS), intraperitoneal (IP) and systemic therapy continues to evolve for peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) However, treatment and outcomes vary depending on tumor of origin.

To develop Appropriate Use Criteria (AUC) guidelines to facilitate treatment decision-making for patients with PC based on available evidence.

The American Radium Society (ARS) multidisciplinary expert panel performed a comprehensive systematic review. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) methodology was used. These studies were used to inform the expert panel, which then rated the appropriateness of various treatments in seven representative clinical scenarios through a well-established modified Delphi consensus methodology.

Treatment of PC is often treated with a combination of CRS and IP ± systemic chemotherapy but specific recommendations exist for different tumor types and outcomes vary.

Treatment of PC is complex and varies depending on origin of primary tumor and extent of disease. These AUC assist in patient and treatment selection for different clinical scenarios.

A summary of recommendations is outlined to guide practitioners on the management of PC from different tumor origins.
