Prognostic markers in Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

Prognostic markers in Pseudomyxoma Peritonei are specific factors that help doctors estimate how the disease might progress and influence treatment decisions. These markers include features like tumor cell type, genetic changes, and the amount of mucous-producing tissue. For example, certain tumor cells are associated with slower progress, while others may suggest a more aggressive course. Identifying these markers allows doctors to predict outcomes better and tailor treatments more effectively, ultimately aiming to improve patient survival and quality of life.
