Peritoneal surface malignancies (PSMs) typically have a poor prognosis, although considerable advances in the understanding and management of these malignancies have been made over the past decade. This Review comprehensively describes the improvements in knowledge of the biology, assessment and classification, perioperative and surgical management, systemic treatment and pre-emptive management of PSMs. The authors also outline future directions for research in this field.
