The study found PCI to be an excellent predictor of incomplete CRS. Due to a lower surgical success rate, the authors suggest that neoadjuvant chemotherapy could be considered if the PCI is higher than 24. Preoperative radiologic assessment should focus on total tumor burden and not necessarily on specific regions.
