HIPEC
Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) involves instilling warmed chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity during surgery. This method contrasts with systemic chemotherapy by penetrating directly into intra-abdominal cancer cells. HIPEC allows for administering higher doses of chemotherapy and increases the bioavailability of the chemotherapeutic agent in cancer cells, effectively destroying postoperative microscopic intra-abdominal cancer cells.
