One of INDEPSO’s key projects, the Indian HIPEC Registry (www.indianhipecregistry.com), has been collecting valuable data since its inception in 2016. With over eight years of data, this registry aids in understanding peritoneal malignancies in the Indian context, enabling the society to provide evidence-based recommendations that align with international guidelines while addressing local and regional challenges.

INDEPSO is committed to nurturing the next generation of specialists in peritoneal oncology. Through hands-on training opportunities, clinical guidance, and mentorship, the society supports surgeons who wish to develop their expertise in this field, offering them the tools and resources needed during the early stages of their careers.

Together, we aim to enhance the prevention and management of peritoneal malignancies across India, ensuring that our practices are informed by the latest global research while considering the unique challenges of our region.
