HIPEC (Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy)

HIPEC is a specialized procedure for treating abdominal cancers. It involves administering heated chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity during surgery. The combination of localized chemotherapy and elevated temperature enhances the effectiveness of the treatment, as it targets cancer cells directly and can penetrate tumor tissue more effectively. HIPEC is particularly effective in the management of certain advanced cancers, such as ovarian and colorectal cancers that have spread within the abdominal cavity.
