Hipec in Monterrey - Surgical oncologist

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a specialized treatment that may be used for selected cancers affecting the lining of the abdominal cavity. It is often performed alongside cytoreductive surgery and may be considered for certain cases of colorectal, ovarian, gastric, and peritoneal cancers, depending on the type and extent of the disease.

Common causes

HIPEC may be considered when cancer has spread to the peritoneum, the membrane lining the abdominal cavity, and the medical team determines that removing visible tumors followed by localized chemotherapy may be appropriate. Patient selection depends on factors such as cancer type, disease extent, previous treatments, and overall health.

Treatments and procedures

HIPEC generally involves two stages. First, cytoreductive surgery is performed to remove visible tumors when feasible. Next, a heated chemotherapy solution is circulated within the abdominal cavity to treat microscopic cancer cells that may remain after surgery. The treatment plan and suitability for this procedure are determined through an individualized oncological evaluation.

The oncologist in Monterrey can assess your diagnosis, review previous treatments, and discuss whether cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC may be an option for your case. A specialized evaluation can also help clarify the potential benefits, risks, and recovery considerations.
