A randomized controlled single-blind clinical trial was performed, in 32 patients diagnosed with peritoneal carcinomatosis from epithelial ovarian cancer, who underwent radical surgery-peritonectomy, achieving an optimal R0-R1 cytoreduction (microscopic tumor residues (R0) or macroscopic tumor residues \< 1cm (R1)) followed by hyperthermia against normothermia intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy with paclitaxel

The Grouped Miller and Payne (MP) System for Pathological Response: G1 (Minimal Changes and < 30% Cells Tumour Reduction That Includes MP G1-G2), G3 (Microscopic Foci, Cells Tumour Reduction up to >90% That Includes MP G3-G4) and G5 (no Residual Tumour)
Timeframe: The biopsies were taken before and after the treatment (intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy for 60 minutes) and then they were analysed by two blinded pathologists.
