Inclusion Criteria:

• Age ≥ 18 but  ≤ 80 years old.
• ECOG performance status ≤ 2. 
• Cytologic or histologic proof of adenocarcinoma of the pancreas.
• Adequate renal, and bone marrow function:
  • Leukocytes ≥ 3,000/uL;
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/uL;
  • Platelets ≥ 60,000/Ul;
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL.
• Distant metastatic disease of peritoneum may be visualized on imaging:
  • Positive peritoneal cytology;
  • Limited carcinomatosis on diagnostic laparoscopy or laparotomy;
  • KRASD assay positive peritoneal washings/cytology.
• Completion of preoperative systemic chemotherapy with biochemical, metabolic, and/or radiographic response defined as a reduction in the baseline CA 19-9 by > 50% or radiographic response as defined by RECIST 1.1 or metabolic response on PET-MRI defined by PERCIST criteria.
• Peritoneal Carcinomatosis Index (PCI) ≤ 7 and surgeons deems high likelihood for a complete cytoreduction.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Distant metastatic disease not limited to peritoneum:
  • Solid organ metastases (liver, central nervous system, lung).
• Infections such as pneumonia or wound infections that would preclude protocol therapy.

Adequate contraception consists of oral contraceptive, implantable contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, a double barrier method, or abstinence.
• Subjects deemed unable to comply with study and/or follow-up procedures.
• Subjects with a known hypersensitivity to protocol systemic chemotherapy that was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, or resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity.
