Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (PSM): The SICO (Italian Society of Surgical Oncology) PSM—Oncoteam Experience, Result Analysis, and Studies’ Purpose

Dear Colleagues,

For many years now, uncertainties on managing peritoneal surface malignancies (PSM) have prompted experts to learn more about how these neoplastic diseases spread. Because many factors make it difficult to understand PSM, a standardized treatment is difficult to identify. Primary and metastatic PSMs differ in their biological behavior, aggressive patterns, and peritoneal spread, often requiring diverse diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. This Special Issue includes a literature review from the PSM Oncoteam of the Italian Society of Surgical Oncology (SICO) describing our long-lasting, multicentric experience in the management and treatment of PSM and the purpose of ongoing studies on behalf of our Oncoteam.
