Intraperitoneal chemo-hyperthermia ( HIPEC)

Intraperitoneal chemo-hyperthermia (HIPEC) is an advanced treatment for certain abdominal cancers, such as those originating in the colon, stomach, or ovaries. This procedure involves delivering heated chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity after surgical removal of visible tumours. The high temperature enhances the effectiveness of the chemotherapy, improving its ability to kill cancer cells and penetrate tissues. HIPEC targets cancer cells more precisely and limits the systemic side effects often associated with traditional chemotherapy. The procedure is conducted in a highly controlled environment by a specialized surgical team, offering a promising option for patients with advanced or recurrent abdominal cancers, aiming to improve survival rates and quality of life.
