Abstract

Colorectal cancer peritoneal metastases (CRC-PM) are present in 5 to 15% of instances of CRC, and the overall survival (OS) of patients with CRC-PM is much lower than that of patients with other isolated metastatic locations. In recent years, the introduction of cytoreductive surgery (CRS) in conjunction with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has resulted in a significant improvement in CRC-PM patients' OS. Despite this, a significant proportion of CRS patients continue to suffer complications of grades III to V or even die during the perioperative period. Early diagnosis, optimization of patient selection criteria, and refining of individualized combination therapy are necessary for these patients. In this review, we evaluate studies examining the relationship between molecular status and CRS in CRC-PM. Our objective is to gain a comprehensive understanding of how the altered molecular status of CRC-PM impacts CRS, which could increase the likelihood of tailored therapy in the future.
