Tumors3
Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) is a condition presenting with tumors of the abdominal cavity presenting which could lead abdominal distention and ascites secondary to mucus production. (upr.edu)
These tumors were examined by a pathologist, who identified the cancer as pseudomyxoma peritonei, a cancer of the appendix. (findlaw.com)
Of the variety of tumors that are treated with this method, probably the most common indication are these low grade appendiceal cancers or what is clinically referred to as pseudomyxoma peritonei, and this is a situation in which patients can develop a significant amount of mucin in their abdomen, produced by the tumor cells that can be very problematic, and that may not necessarily be very responsive to conventional systemic therapies.
