What is
HIPEC Cancer Treatment?
HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) is an advanced cancer treatment used for cancers that spread within the abdominal lining (peritoneum). It is performed immediately after cytoreductive surgery, where all visible tumors are surgically removed.
During HIPEC:
Heated chemotherapy is circulated directly inside the abdominal cavity
The drug reaches microscopic cancer cells that surgery cannot see
High temperatures enhance chemotherapy effectiveness
Systemic side effects are significantly reduced
HIPEC allows targeted, high-dose chemotherapy exactly where it is needed, making it one of the most effective treatments for selected advanced cancers.
