Welcome to the Swiss Peritoneal Cancer Group
The Swiss Peritoneal Cancer Group (SPCG) was founded in June 2013 and two years later the group was accepted as a workgroup of the Swiss Society for Visceral Surgery (Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Viszeralchirurgie, SGVC). The SPCG provides a platform for surgeons, gynecologists and medical oncologists engaged in peritoneal malignancies, cytoreduction and HIPEC.
Swiss Peritoneal Cancer Group
The aims and tasks of the SPCG are:
- One meeting per year
- General assembly during the congress of the Swiss Society for Surgery (Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Chirurgie, SGC) or during a congress of the Swiss Society for Visceral Surgery (Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Viszeralchirurgie, SGVC)
- Establishing a Swiss registry for cytoreduction/HIPEC
- Organization and realization of a regular congress on cytoreduction/HIPEC in Switzerland
- Promotion of research in the field of cytoreduction/HIPEC
We are proud to present to you the current list of responsibilities in the SPCG.

Swiss Society of Visceral Surgery
The society aims to promote visceral surgery in cooperation with and within the Swiss Society of Surgery (Schweizerische Gesellschaft für Chirurgie, SGC). It deals primarily with health policy issues, professional policy aspects, problems and quality of education and training as well as certification requirements. The society represents the interests of visceral surgeons in professional organizations and in collective bargaining. The group collaborates with European professional societies with the same or similar interests and can join such societies as a member.
