HIPEC surgery for cancer | Ohio State Medical Center

Surgical oncologist Alex Kim explains HIPEC surgery, a two-step procedure that treats certain cancers in the abdomen. Step one is the cytoreductive surgery that removes cancerous tumors. Step two is the application of hypothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to the belly cavity to eliminate the remaining cancerous cells.

Can someone please tell me if this can be performed on someone who's peritoneal/omentum cancer is a primary diagnosis, not a metastasized secondary cancer, and is not outside the abdominal cavity.

[@khaliddurrani6432]

This procedure can be performed for most cancers as long ss the tumor is confined to the peritoneal cavity. The procedure has two components, CRS meaning clearance of all visible tumor along with removal of pertal peritoneum , and intraperitineal chemo that varies with the pathological tumor type, for about 90 minutes. If all the gross tumor is not removable then HIPEC has no additional benefit. In such cases an other procedure called PIPAC ( pressurized intra-peritoneal aerosol chemo ) can be carried out.
