Chemotherapy is used, by Medical Oncology department, to manage brain tumor, lung cancer, prostate tumor, colorectal cancer, gastric tumor, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer and gallbladder tumor as well as head and neck tumor, kidney tumor and gynecological cancers. Chemotherapeutic agents – the drugs that kill the tumor, are administered through various routes, such as intravenous, hip, oral and intrabdominal. In chemotherapy, it is necessary to protect the patient against side effects, while chemotherapy is performed efficiently. Other treatment options are targeted treatments and immunotherapy. Medical Oncologists of ElixirMed Hospitals aim anti-cancer protection, preventing or slowing down the spread of cancer by chemotherapy and eliminating the residual tumors following operations and radiotherapies.
Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) implies instilling warmed chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity during surgery.In contrast with the systemic chemotherapy, HIPEC penetrates directly into the intra-abdominal cancer cells. This treatment modality enables administering chemotherapy at higher doses. Bio-availability of chemotherapeutic agent increases in cancer cells since the solution is warmed, and postoperative microscopic intra-abdominal cancer cells are destructed.
