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

      Who Can Benefit from CRS with HIPEC / PIPEC?

      This treatment is suitable for patients with:

      • Peritoneal carcinomatosis from colorectal, ovarian, gastric, or appendiceal cancers
      • Mesothelioma of the peritoneum
      • Selected cases of pseudomyxoma peritonei
      • Advanced abdominal cancers with limited spread confined to the peritoneum

      Treatment Process

      • Consultation: Multidisciplinary team evaluates tumor extent and patient suitability.
      • Preoperative Planning: Imaging studies, lab tests, and optimization of patient health.
      • Surgery and HIPEC / PIPEC: Tumor removal followed by heated or pressurized chemotherapy delivery.
      • Postoperative Care: Close monitoring in ICU or specialized surgical units for recovery and supportive care.
      • Follow-up: Regular imaging and assessments to monitor treatment response and detect recurrence early.
