Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
surgical morbidity and mortalityuntil 3 months after surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy

This will be estimated with the Dindo-Clavien classification

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
progression free survival24 months after finishing the adjuvant chemotherapy

time interval between date of surgery and disease progression or death

treatment completion rateday 1 after termination of adjuvant chemotherapy

percentage of patients receiving all planned courses

overall survival24 months after finishing the adjuvant chemotherapy

calculated from date of surgery until death

chemotherapy-related toxicity1 month after termination of the adjuvant chemotherapy

percentage of patients experiencing chemotherapy-related toxicity will be assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) scoring system

pathological gross response of peritoneal tumour deposits to neoadjuvant combination chemotherapy with bevacizumabday 1 after termination of the cytoreductive surgery

will be scored with a 3 level regression scale
