HIPEC stands for hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy. It’s a cancer treatment that pumps warm chemotherapy drugs into your abdomen. You get one very large dose of chemotherapy, but it's not as toxic. That’s because the drugs aren’t injected into your bloodstream, so they don’t move around your body as much as chemotherapy given through an IV.
The chemotherapy drugs are heated to about 106-109 degrees F. Cancer cells can't handle heat as well as healthy cells. The heat also helps the drugs enter your cells more easily and work better.
HIPEC is used for hard-to-treat abdominal cancers, such as appendix and colorectal cancer, as well as peritoneal mesothelioma. It has also shown promise against ovarian and gastric cancer.
