What is Cytoreductive Surgery?
Cytoreductive surgery, often called CRS, is an extensive operation intended to remove visible tumour deposits from the peritoneal cavity in appropriately selected patients. Completeness of cytoreduction — how little visible disease is left — matters more than the length of the incision. It is not appropriate for every patient with peritoneal cancer. Selection depends on cancer type, distribution, whether a meaningful clearance looks possible, overall health and a multidisciplinary review. GAF Healthcare does not decide eligibility on this page.
