  4. Stomach,
  5. Pancreas,
  6. Gall bladder,
  7. System cancers such as bile ducts can cause it.

There are also different reasons. Cancer begins with uncontrolled growth as a result of mutation in peritoneal cells. Risk factors for intra-abdominal cancer are as follows;

  1. advanced age
  2. genetic factors
  3. breast cancer history
  4. Obesity and stagnant life
  5. of the endometrium in the uterus outside the uterus

cancer treatment methods offered for this today. However, cytoreduction , which has found great use especially recently, hipec offers patients better treatment methods.

Assoc. Dr. Mustafa Atabey offers you successful solutions by using the latest technology and opportunities in the sector. The profile and medical history of each patient are examined in a special way, and necessary actions are taken accordingly.

Hipec ?

hypec therapy is used especially in advanced stage cancers and recurrent cases. Basically, a certain amount of cancer medicine determined specifically for the patients is heated with a special medical device. Then, surgery is performed for a certain period of time.

After all visible tumors are removed, it is given intraperitoneally using special machines. Thus, it is ensured that it remains for approximately 1 hour. hot chemotherapy thus ends the process. The application can be made to many people today. Between them,

  1. pseudomyxoma peritonei
  2. peritoneal mesothelioma
  3. of the peritoneum in the large intestine and rectum carnisomal
  4. Involvement of the peritoneum in gastric cancer
  5. Spread of appendicitis cancer to the peritoneum
  6. Peritoneal involvement in ovarian and uterine cancer

In addition, hot chemotherapy in appendix cancer applications can also be made. Although variability is observed in each patient and type of cancer, high-successful results can be obtained.

Hipec Affect Which Cancer?

Hipec It is one of the methods used in advanced cancer cases. In cancers that spread to the peritoneum surface, such as colon, stomach, appendicitis and ovary , within a period of approximately 1 hour , visible lifetimes are taken.

After that, the application of hot chemotherapy in colon cancer continues with the application of the drugs and staying for a period of 1 hour. Thus, all cancers that spread to the peritoneum benefit. A long life and a disease-free life is thus possible.

Studies carried out to date on this subject show that the life expectancy of large intestine tumors spreading to the peritoneum increases at least 2-3 times. In appendix surgery, productive results can be obtained from 5-7 years to 11 years.

In this regard, hot chemotherapy in ovarian cancer application offers solutions to patients who have come to an advanced level and have lost all hope. The duration of prolongation of life varies according to the extent and type of the disease.

However, the application period usually includes a long operation period. This may take up to 10 to 12 hours in some patients. Apart from this, if deemed necessary, two or three times hot chemotherapy , especially in cases where it recurs. application can be performed.

Hipec and Hot Chemotherapy?

hypec treatment and a standard chemotherapy application. A normal application does not pass the peritoneum to levels that will affect the abdominal cavity. Therefore, although successful results can be obtained, it has a very limited structure. In particular, the level of medication to be used also increases.

Thus, a number of health problems may occur. However, peritoneal Hot chemotherapy is different in the treatment of mesothelioma . Since it is applied directly into the abdomen, the incidence of side effects is less. The rate of drugs used is also lower because it has a direct effect.

Also, although hype can be done 2-3 times, it is usually completed in one go. Intravenous chemotherapy is often continued after the operation. In some patients, intra-abdominal chemotherapy is continued through the catheter inserted into the abdomen.

In such respects, hipec is completely different. These changes also make hypec efficient for cancer treatment . Assoc. Dr. Mustafa Atabey successfully applies the hype method to the right patients.
