Core Tip	The multimodal treatment of peritoneal metastases (PM), involving cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, has been strenuously achieved over time, but seems to be the best treatment option, for selected cases. This paper addresses data about the multimodal treatment strategy, focused to patient’s survival, the key indicator for assessing results, in the case of PM. Also, it were highlighted the treatment key aspects and the controversies, high in the 35 years of treatment implementing. By understanding the philosophy of multimodal treatment, physicians will be able to offer an alternative to the routine systemic chemotherapy.
