Psychological, Psychophysical and Epigenetic Determinants of Chronic Pain After Cytoreductive - Hyperthermic Intraoperative Chemotherapy

This study learns if depression, anxiety, and catastrophizing (thought patterns that prompt people to expect the worst) are associated with chronic pain after surgery among patients who are scheduled to have cytoreductive surgery with intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy. Information from this study may improve the understanding of persistent and chronic postsurgical pain integrating multiple layers of biological and behavioral sciences.
