Cytoreductive Surgery
With HIPEC / PIPEC

      What is Cytoreductive Surgery with HIPEC / PIPEC?

      Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) combined with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) or Pressurized Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (PIPEC) is an advanced, multidisciplinary treatment for cancers involving the abdominal or peritoneal cavity. This approach combines surgical removal of visible tumors with targeted, heated chemotherapy delivered directly to the abdominal cavity to eliminate microscopic cancer cells.

      How CRS with HIPEC / PIPEC Works

      • Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS): Surgeons remove all visible tumors from the peritoneal cavity.
      • HIPEC / PIPEC: A specially formulated chemotherapy solution is heated and circulated within the abdomen (HIPEC) or delivered under pressure (PIPEC) to destroy remaining microscopic cancer cells.
      • Targeted Effect: Direct delivery of chemotherapy ensures higher local concentrations, improved tumor penetration, and reduced systemic side effects compared to traditional intravenous chemotherapy.

      Advantages of CRS with HIPEC / PIPEC

      • Maximal Tumor Removal: Surgically eliminates all visible tumors
      • Targeted Chemotherapy: Direct treatment of the peritoneal cavity reduces systemic toxicity
      • Improved Survival: Enhances outcomes for select abdominal and peritoneal cancers
      • Reduced Recurrence Risk: HIPEC / PIPEC targets microscopic disease that surgery alone cannot remove
