The peritoneal cancer index (PCI) is a synthesis of the distribution of tumor and a lesion size score. In such conditions abdominal medium contrast computed-tomography it is very helpful in identification of neoplasic implants.RC Tiutiuca

CA19-9/PCI ratio is an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in patients with low-grade PMP undergoing CRS and IPC. By accounting for both tumour activity and tumour volume simultaneously, this novel index behaves as a surrogate of tumour biology and provides a useful adjunct for de...

Although mucinous adenocarcinoma was not associated with MSI or RAS mutations in our peritoneal metastasis cohort (P = 0.241 and P = 0.774), it was correlated with the PCI (Peritoneal Cancer Index32) score, which is the combined score of the peritoneal tumor load and size (P =...

This exhaustive study of signs will produce a score on Sugarbaker's peritoneal cancer index (PCI) [1], taking into account lesion size and location in the peritoneum, and this must be recorded in the notes, preferably accompanied by a diagram (Fig. 9). The peritoneal cancer index has a ...
The peritoneal carcinomatosis index (PCI) can be used to quantify the tumor burden in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The aim of the present study was to establish a predictive model for suboptimal cytoreductive surgery (SCS) (residual tumor of > 1 cm) using preoperative and intraoperati...

This procedure allows us to define with certainty the origin of the neoplasm, the peritoneal cancer index (PCI), the involvement of the small bowel and its mesentery, the feasibility of surgery and the index of attainable cytoreduction, the evaluation of an eventual multiorgan resection, and ...
