Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy
Dr. John Diaz, Gynecologic Oncologist with Miami Cancer Institute, explains intraperitoneal chemotherapy is what happens when they take patients to the operating room, they get all of the cancer out and give the patients the chemotherapy. "We distend their abdomen, we circulate the chemotherapy, we heat it about to 43 degrees Celsius and a circulation goes on for 90 minutes."
He also says the benefits of cancer surgery is to remove all of the disease and they want to capitalize on it by giving chemotherapy at that moment.
