  1. Patients after CRS/HIPEC were assessed according the HIPEC protocol, which differ with regard to the drugs used for HIPEC and the perfusion time. Particularly the early kinetic of inflammatory markers (Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4) should be read with the information that the groups differ the primary tumor and operation times. aOther infectious complications include cholangitis and colpitis. Categorial data are presented as absolute numbers with percentage and nominal data as median and IQR
