HIPEC Chemotherapy and Mesothelioma
There are multiple ways a doctor could choose to administer chemotherapy medications to a mesothelioma patient. Some more effective than others. Still, other ways are being tested in clinical trials. Chemotherapy is a standard treatment option for cancer patients and can be given alone or in conjunction with other anti-cancer therapies. One way a doctor could perform the procedure is by utilizing heat in a process called HIPEC chemotherapy. Also known as Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy, it’s sometimes used to treat peritoneal mesothelioma, cancer that occurs in the lining of the abdominal cavity.
