6. A negative skin-prick test to fluorescein

Exclusion Criteria

1. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations
2. Renal dysfunction as defined as a GFR <45
3. Liver dysfunction as defined by Child-Pugh score >5, or LFT's 1.5x above the normal range
4. Any known allergy or prior reaction to fluorescein or ICG or a positive skin prick test to fluorescein
5. Pregnant or nursing female subjects, determined preoperatively with a urine pregnancy test
6. Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Identify and measure number of vessels associated with peritoneal tumor implants using intravital microscopy at the time of surgery (vessels visualized per high power field)<br>2. Tumor vessel density (tumor vessels per square cm area observed) as above<br>3. Number of tumor vessels with fluorescent dye uptake and number of tumor vessels without dye uptake)<br>4.Tumor blood flow (velocity, mm/sec) of the vessels and tissue penetration of fluorescent dyes as markers of vessel permeability using intravital microscopy at the time of surgery
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1. Diameters, vessel density, detection of intravital dye and flow rates of the microvasculature of peritoneal carcinomatosis compared with normal tissue using intravital microscopy at the time of surgery<br>2. Pathologic features of the tumor implants (i.e. tumor grade) measured by the investigators at the time of the final pathology report (5-7 days after surgery)<br>3. Overall survival at 1 and 2 years
