There will be rigorous pre-op testing which generally includes:
- Blood work
- CT/pet scan to learn your Peritoneal Cancer Index (the higher the score the more cancer in the abdomen. 39 is the maximum score)
- Recent endoscopy/colonoscopy
- Assessment of likelihood for completeness of cytroeduction
- Performance status evaluation
Patients are not permitted to eat or drink the night before surgery. Bowel prep is usually not necessary, but it is up to the surgeon.
