Advanced Targeted Treatment for Peritoneal Surface Malignancies HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) and PIPAC (Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy) are innovative treatment options designed for cancers that have spread to the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal cavity. These advanced therapies deliver chemotherapy directly into the abdomen, targeting cancer cells more effectively while minimizing systemic side effects. At our center, we offer comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plans utilizing the latest advances in peritoneal surface oncology. Our multidisciplinary team combines surgical expertise, medical oncology, and supportive care to provide the best possible outcomes for patients with complex abdominal cancers... What Is HIPEC? Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a specialized procedure performed immediately after Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS). Once all visible tumors have been removed, a heated chemotherapy solution is circulated throughout the abdominal cavity. The combination of heat and direct chemotherapy delivery helps: Destroy microscopic cancer cells that may remain after surgery Improve chemotherapy penetration into tissues Reduce the risk of cancer recurrence within the abdomen Deliver high concentrations of chemotherapy directly to affected areas HIPEC is commonly used in carefully selected patients with peritoneal surface malignancies... What Is PIPAC? Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers chemotherapy as a pressurized aerosol into the abdominal cavity using laparoscopic techniques. This innovative approach offers several advantages: Enhanced distribution of chemotherapy throughout the peritoneal cavity Improved tissue penetration Minimally invasive treatment through small incisions Shorter recovery times compared to major surgery Can be repeated at scheduled intervals when clinically appropriate PIPAC may be considered for patients with advanced peritoneal metastases who are not candidates for extensive cytoreductive surgery or require additional disease control... Conditions Treated with HIPEC and PIPAC These advanced therapies may be recommended for: Peritoneal carcinomatosis Colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastases Ovarian cancer with peritoneal spread Appendiceal cancers Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP) Peritoneal mesothelioma Gastric cancer with selected peritoneal involvement Other carefully selected abdominal cancers Each patient undergoes a detailed assessment to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy... Benefits of HIPEC Direct delivery of chemotherapy to the abdominal cavity Higher local drug concentration with reduced systemic exposure Enhanced effectiveness through heat-assisted chemotherapy Treatment of microscopic residual disease Potential improvement in long-term disease control and survival Performed during a single surgical procedure following CRS... Benefits of PIPAC Minimally invasive treatment option Enhanced chemotherapy distribution and penetration Reduced recovery time Repeatable treatment sessions if required Symptom control and improved quality of life in selected patients Suitable for certain patients with advanced or unresectable disease..
