Comprehensive Surgical Treatment for Peritoneal Surface Malignancies
Advanced Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS)
Specialized surgical treatment for peritoneal cancers, delivered with precision, safety, and patient-focused care.
Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) is a complex procedure aimed at removing visible tumors from the peritoneal cavity, often in combination with other therapies. It is used to treat cancers that spread within the abdominal lining, including ovarian, gastrointestinal, and mesothelioma-related cancers. Under the care of Dr. Anuj, CRS is performed using modern surgical techniques with meticulous planning to maximize tumor removal while preserving organ function and supporting faster recovery.
WHAT IS CYTOREDUCTIVE SURGERY?
Cytoreductive surgery is designed to remove as much visible cancer as possible from the peritoneal cavity. It is often combined with chemotherapy delivered directly into the abdomen to target microscopic disease.
The goals of CRS include:
- Maximal removal of tumors
- Reducing the risk of recurrence
- Improving survival and quality of life
Each patient is evaluated individually to plan the safest and most effective surgery.
