A. HIPEC or hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy is a procedure performed to treat cancers by the administration of heated chemotherapy drugs into the abdominal cavity of a patient.
A. HIPEC is performed by a surgical oncologist.
A. HIPEC helps in delivering a high dose of chemotherapy drugs directly to cancer cells in the abdomen, whereas, traditional chemotherapy is given intravenously and circulated through the bloodstream.
HIPEC delivers much higher doses of chemotherapy drugs to kill cancer cells in a single treatment session. However, traditional chemotherapy involves giving low doses of chemotherapy drugs over multiple treatment sessions.
HIPEC involves giving chemotherapy drugs heated to a temperature of 107°F to effectively kill cancer cells, unlike traditional chemotherapy treatment.
HIPEC has lesser side effects compared to traditional, intravenous chemotherapy. The side effects associated with HIPEC are usually related to the surgical procedure of removing the tumor before giving heated chemotherapy drugs rather than chemotherapy.
A. Several cancer patients can benefit from HIPEC. The doctor will consider the following factors to assess if you are a good candidate for HIPEC:
A. HIPEC has the following advantages over traditional chemotherapy:
A. HIPEC procedure may take between six to nine hours to complete but may take even longer. The surgical procedure of tumor removal will take the maximum time. The procedure of inserting heated chemotherapy drugs into the abdomen may take about 90 minutes.
A. Yes, the rate of recurrence of cancer is about 41% after one year of HIPEC treatment, 73% after three years of treatment, and 76% after five years of treatment.
A. Yes, if cancer recurs after 18 months of the first debulking and HIPEC surgery, a second debulking and HIPEC procedure may be considered. However, if cancer recurs within 18 months after the first surgery, standard chemotherapy treatment is recommended.
