Cytoreduction and Hyperthermic Interperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC)

This Webcast shows cytoreductive surgery to remove all visible tumors from the abdominal cavity, followed by HIPEC, a process in which the patient is connected to a series of catheters and a pumping device that bathes the entire abdominal cavity with chemotherapy drugs for approximately 90 minutes. The University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Cancer Center was one of the first medical centers in the nation to offer the HIPEC procedure, beginning in 2004. The surgery is performed by Nader N. Hanna, M.D., F.A.C.S., head of the division of surgical oncology and an associate professor of surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
