Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study analyzes the gastrointestinal microbiome of appendiceal cancer patients with peritoneal spread scheduled to undergo cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC). Participants will provide fecal samples pre- and post-operatively.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Analysis of the human microbiome is an attempt to define how changes in the human microbiome are associated with health or disease.

Eligible participants scheduled to undergo cytoreductive surgery with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (CRS/HIPEC) for appendiceal cancer will provide fecal samples pre- and post-operatively. Investigators will analyze potential changes in the gastrointestinal microbiome and make comparisons to an age-matched healthy sample.
