Dear Colleagues,

We are honored and delighted to invite you to the 3^rd Workshop on HIPEC and PIPAC in Peritoneal Metastasis, which will be held in İzmir on June 11–13, 2026.

When Michelangelo painted The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he was not only depicting a religious scene, but also one of the most fascinating moments in human history — the anticipation of life itself. On one side stands the Creator’s powerful and determined hand; on the other, Adam, still awaiting the breath of life. Between their hands lies that “divine spark,” symbolizing the meeting of soul and matter, the infinite and the finite.

For many years, peritoneal malignancies were considered extremely difficult to treat — even inoperable. However, cytoreductive surgery and intraperitoneal chemotherapy have become that same “divine spark,” offering patients a new and remarkable chance beyond old limits.

At the 3^rd National Cytoreductive Surgery Symposium; HIPEC and PIPAC, we look forward to discussing the latest literature, current techniques and technologies, as well as many topics of growing interest.

June 11–13, 2026 — Izmir, Turkiye
