This trial tests a treatment that combines heating chemotherapy drugs and delivering them directly into the abdomen (HIPEC) with standard chemotherapy through a vein. It is for people whose pancreatic cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen but not to other organs, and who have not had prior cancer treatment.
