Normothermic catheter-based intraperitoneal chemotherapy: Systematic review using the IDEAL framework

Key Points

• Intraperitoneal chemotherapy shows enhanced efficacy in reducing tumor recurrence in cancer patients, suggesting improved outcomes.
• The review highlights the IDEAL framework to assess catheter-based chemotherapy approaches systematically and objectively.
• Chemotherapy administered at normothermic temperatures aims to increase drug effectiveness while minimizing side effects.
• Findings suggest the IDEAL framework can guide future research and clinical practices in intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
