Abstract

Peritoneal cancer develops in the abdomen and may be present at primary diagnosis but can also arise from tumour cells that remain post-surgery or indeed they are mobilized by surgery. It is extremely difficult and expensive to treat and is rapidly fatal compared to most other cancers. We will use genetics, immunology assays, pre-clinical models with national and international collaborations to reduce, treat and cure peritoneal cancer and will test whether we can change clinical practice.
