In the treatment of peritoneal malignancies, “where” you are treated is just as important as “when.” The PSOGI 2025 Manifesto highlights that many patients receive outdated care because they lack access to specialized teams. At Viamed, through IVOQA, we guarantee cutting-edge care where the patient and their family are the focus of an elite multidisciplinary team.
Why is a specialized peritoneal center vital?
Peritoneal surface diseases are complex and cannot be treated in isolation. They require coordinated multidisciplinary management that combines highly complex oncological surgery, medical oncology, expert radiology, and specialized intensive care.
Current Challenges: Barriers to Healing
The manifesto identifies the obstacles that prevent patients from reaching experts in time:
- Outdated Treatments: Many patients are treated in centers lacking specific expertise, missing the opportunity for curative-intent techniques such as CRS-HIPEC.
- Lack of Personalization: Medical decisions often depend on locally available resources rather than what the patient truly needs.
- Bureaucracy and Barriers: Administrative and insurance hurdles often delay referrals to experts—time that the patient simply does not have.
- Vague Criteria: It is not always clear what defines a “specialized center,” creating confusion for families.
How IVOQA Transforms PSOGI 2025 Guidelines into Real Results
At IVOQA (Viamed Institute of Advanced Surgical Oncology), led by Dr. Delia Cortés Guiral, we have broken down these barriers to offer what the future of oncology demands:
- A Real Multidisciplinary Committee: Every case is analyzed by experts in surgery, oncology, nutrition, internal medicine, etc. There are no unilateral decisions; only personalized plans.
- Unrestricted Technology: We offer immediate access to the most advanced techniques—from radical cytoreduction to innovative therapies like PIPAC—ensuring the patient’s location is never an impediment.
- International Collaboration: We are integrated into international scientific networks (such as ESPSO), ensuring our protocols follow the latest global scientific evidence.
Access to medical expertise should not be a privilege, but a right. At IVOQA and Viamed, we work every day to ensure that bureaucracy does not limit potentially life-saving treatments.
