For certain types of cancers that have metastasized within the abdomen and pelvis, the surgeon removes visible tumors and then delivers hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which is heated chemotherapy applied inside your abdominal cavity. HIPEC is used to treat appendiceal cancer and other abdominal cancers.
Our HIPEC ERAS program is designed to help patients return to health more quickly after undergoing the procedure.
