Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy with Pressurized Air Flow (PIPAC)

Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy with Pressurized Air Flow (PIPAC) is an advanced treatment for cancers within the abdominal cavity, such as ovarian, gastric, or colorectal cancers. This minimally invasive procedure involves delivering chemotherapy drugs directly into the peritoneal cavity using a pressurized aerosol. The pressurized air ensures that the medication spreads evenly and penetrates deeply into cancerous tissues, enhancing its effectiveness. Performed laparoscopically, PIPAC allows for targeted treatment with minimal systemic side effects, preserving the patient's overall health. This approach can be repeated multiple times, offering hope for improved outcomes and quality of life in patients with advanced or recurrent abdominal cancers.
