HIPEC Treatment in Bhubaneswar

HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) is an advanced treatment method that entails the use of the treatment for selected cases of tumors that metastasized on the peritoneal lining. This method combines it with Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) to eliminate visible tumors followed by giving out heated chemotherapy solution to the abdominal cavity to kill other tumor cells in the area.

Dr. Anjali Singh, an experienced Surgical Oncologist in Bhubaneswar, specialises in the treatment of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies and has received dedicated fellowship training in CRS and HIPEC. Every case is assessed carefully to determine whether HIPEC is likely to provide meaningful benefit and improve long-term outcomes.



What It Is

HIPEC is a combination of surgery to remove the tumour and heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen, which is used to treat certain advanced cancers.



Who It Helps

Cancer patients whose cancer has spread to the lining of the abdomen, such as some colorectal, appendiceal, ovarian and stomach cancers.



Cost

The cost will vary depending on the cancer type, tumor size, surgery complexity and hospitalisation.

Highly specialized treatment by a Surgical Oncologist who has also received specialized training in Peritoneal Surface Malignancies, CRS and HIPEC surgery.

Cancers Treated with HIPEC

Colorectal Cancer with Peritoneal Spread

In selected patients whose colorectal cancer has spread to the abdominal lining, CRS and HIPEC may help improve disease control.

Ovarian Cancer

HIPEC may be considered in carefully selected ovarian cancer patients as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy.

Gastric Cancer with Peritoneal Spread

Some patients with stomach cancer that has spread within the abdomen may benefit from HIPEC as part of their treatment plan.

Peritoneal Surface Malignancies

HIPEC is often used for cancers that primarily involve the abdominal lining and require specialised surgical management.

HIPEC Surgery Procedure

The first is to completely remove all the visible tumour deposits from the abdomen as possible.

After tumour removal, the surgical team evaluates the abdomen to ensure that remaining disease is minimal and suitable for HIPEC.

A heated chemotherapy solution is circulated throughout the abdomen for a specific period to target microscopic cancer cells that cannot be seen during surgery.

Patients are monitored closely after surgery, with recovery plans tailored to their individual treatment needs.

Careful Patient Selection

Not every case of abdominal cancer is suitable for HIPEC. Each patient needs to be examined according to his/her condition.

Evaluating Disease Extent

Before surgery is contemplated, the degree of cancer spread in the abdomen needs to be evaluated.

CRS Before HIPEC

The main aim is to remove as much cancer as possible, as efficient cytoreduction is the key to HIPEC success.

Personalised Treatment Planning

The treatment plan is adjusted according to the kind of cancer, how far it has reached, and the health condition of the patients.

Coordinated Cancer Care

The treatment planning process involves numerous specialists including medical oncologists, radiologists, and other experts
