CHEMOTHERAPY TREATMENT AT RENOWN HEALTH WITH HIPEC
Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy , or HIPEC , is a highly specialized surgical procedure that involves the administration of heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during surgery . This targeted approach allows for maximum exposure of cancer cells to the chemotherapy drugs while minimizing the side effects associated with traditional chemotherapy . During the procedure , the patient lies on a special cooling blanket to keep their body temperature at safe levels , and the surgeon gently rocks the patient back and forth on the operating table for about 1.5 to 2 hours .
