Cytoreductive Surgery and Hyperthermic Intrathoracic Chemotherapy by Video-Assisted Surgery for Pleural Malignancies. Technical Aspects and Safety Profile from A Single Cen

1. Abstract

Background Pleural malignancies are challenging conditions in terms of possibility of cure. Recent growing interest towards Hyperthermic Intrathoracic Chemotherapy (HITHOC) after Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) has been referred. Minimally invasive approach (VATS) may be suggest in this context but evidence is still lacking.
