Understanding Peritoneal Cancer

This website aims to provide a basic understanding of peritoneal
cancers arising from different primary sites (ovaries, colon
and rectum, stomach, appendix, small intestine) and the benefit of cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC in the treatment of these cancers to patients and their caregivers.

Pseudomyxoma Peritonei

Pseudomyxoma Peritonei, also known as PMP or jelly belly, is a rare condition characterized by the presence of mucin-producing tumours in the abdominal cavity. It can originate from any organ, but the most common source of PMP is appendiceal (appendix) cancer.

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal
Chemotherapy (HIPEC)

After the removal of all the visible tumor from the abdominal cavity through Cytoreductive surgery, the microscopic tumor implants still persist in the abdominal cavity. HIPEC is performed to remove these tumor implants which are invisible to the naked eyes.

PIPAC

PIPAC is a new method of giving intraperitoneal chemotherapy or chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity. A chemotherapy is given in the form of an aerosol or a 'spray' during laparoscopy in patients with advanced peritoneal cancer .

Patients' Experience

Here is the first-hand experience of some of the patients who were
treated by Cytoreductive Surgery and HIPEC

My mother’s health was deteriorating day by day because of a rare cancer, pseudomyxoma peritonei. Dr. Aditi advised us to opt for cytoreductive surgery and thanks to her my mother is now able to live a normal life.

Mohammed KhursheedHyderabad

When my mother was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei, no one offered any hope that she would be ok. Dr. Aditi performed Cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC, because of which my mother is physically active and is slowly improving.
