Best HIPEC Treatment in Ahmedabad

Advanced, Targeted Treatment for Peritoneal Surface Cancers

Advanced HIPEC Treatment for Peritoneal Cancer

An advanced and highly specialized cancer treatment designed for patients with cancers that have spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum).

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an advanced and highly specialized cancer treatment designed for patients with cancers that have spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). This approach combines extensive tumor-removal surgery with direct, heated chemotherapy delivery, targeting cancer cells at their source. HIPEC allows oncologists to treat peritoneal disease more aggressively and precisely, offering selected patients improved disease control, reduced recurrence risk, and better long-term outcomes compared to systemic chemotherapy alone.

WHAT IS HIPEC?

HIPEC is a procedure performed immediately after cytoreductive surgery, during which heated chemotherapy is circulated throughout the abdominal cavity before surgical closure.

Unlike intravenous chemotherapy, HIPEC delivers high concentrations of anticancer drugs directly to the affected surfaces, allowing better penetration into residual microscopic cancer cells while minimizing exposure to the rest of the body.

The heat enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy by increasing cancer cell sensitivity and improving drug absorption at the cellular level.

WHEN IS HIPEC RECOMMENDED?

HIPEC is recommended for carefully selected patients whose cancer is primarily confined to the peritoneal surfaces and can be surgically reduced to minimal disease.

Peritoneal metastasis from colorectal or gastric cancers

Appendiceal tumors, including pseudomyxoma peritonei

Advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer in selected cases

Peritoneal mesothelioma

Limited peritoneal spread

TYPES OF CANCERS TREATED WITH HIPEC

HIPEC is part of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment strategy for specific abdominal cancers.

PROCEDURE DETAILS AND APPROACHES

HIPEC is performed in a single operative session under general anesthesia and involves two integrated treatment phases.

Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS)

Removal of all visible tumor deposits from the abdominal cavity

May include resection of affected organs or peritoneal surfaces

Objective is to achieve minimal or no visible residual disease

The success of HIPEC largely depends on the completeness of tumor removal during this stage.

Heated Chemotherapy Circulation

Chemotherapy solution heated to 41–43°C

Circulated within the abdomen for 60–90 minutes

Continuous movement ensures uniform drug distribution

Heat enhances chemotherapy effectiveness by damaging cancer cells and increasing drug penetration.

Targeted Local Therapy Advantage

High local drug concentration at tumor sites

Limited systemic absorption and toxicity

Improved effectiveness against microscopic residual disease

BENEFITS OF HIPEC

Enhanced destruction of residual cancer cells

Improved penetration of chemotherapy due to heat

Lower systemic toxicity compared to IV chemotherapy

Single-session treatment combined with surgery
