Adding Value of MRI over CT in Predicting Peritoneal Cancer Index and Completeness of Cytoreduction

Abstract

CT was suitable for estimating PCI and surgery outcome in appendiceal and ovarian cancer patients, while further MRI in addition to CT was recommended for colon and gastric cancer patients. However, for classifying patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis into complete and incomplete cytoreduction, MRI was more effective than CT.
