Some cancers can be difficult to treat through traditional chemotherapy. Metastatic appendix, colon and gynecologic cancers that have spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity can fall into this category. In this episode of Advance with MUSC Health, Jeffery Sutton, MD (https://education.musc.edu/MUSCApps/f...) , talks about a surgical treatment that involves using heated chemotherapy inside the abdominal cavity to kill cancer cells. The procedure is called hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy or HIPEC and offers many patients incredible results.
