International collaboration
A global network in peritoneal oncology
Peritoneal carcinomatosis is uncommon in any single centre. No hospital accrues enough cases on its own to answer the questions that matter, which is why this work is done as a network.
International Research Center for Peritoneal Surface Oncology
School of Clinical Medicine, Tsinghua University
Took part in the academic exchange programme behind the creation of the IRCPSO, bringing together teams from China, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain and India around one goal: advancing the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Live-broadcast cytoreductive procedures, multicentre projects and a proposed worldwide registry for diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma.
Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital
Tsinghua University · Beijing, China
Academic and surgical exchange with the BTCH team and in Harbin: joint operating sessions and shared techniques for the treatment of peritoneal surface malignancy.
The link with Tsinghua is the foundation on which the IRCPSO involvement was built.
