Abstract
The rarity of occurrence, difficulties in diagnosing and staging peritoneal mesothelioma have a significant impact on the formation of a consensus in the treatment of this disease. Pemetrexed remains the drug of choice for both systemic and intraperitoneal chemotherapy for peritoneal mesothelimoma. This article briefly presents the most interesting information on the treatment of peritoneal mesothelioma, presented at the IMIG2023 conference in France.
