HIPEC is not required for every patient with ovarian cancer. It may be considered in carefully
selected patients with:
In selected situations, HIPEC may also be considered during Primary Cytoreductive Surgery or for carefully selected patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, depending on individual clinical factors.
Patients being evaluated for HIPEC often receive imaging reports containing terms such as:
CT Scan / MRI
PET-CT
These findings help estimate the extent of disease and assist in deciding whether CRS + HIPEC is likely to provide meaningful benefit.
Many patients seek a second opinion after hearing statements such as:
If you have received any of these recommendations, evaluation by a team experienced in cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC can help determine whether this approach is appropriate in your individual situation.
Many patients worry that HIPEC is a separate operation. In reality, it is performed during the same surgery after all visible tumour has been removed.
The treatment usually involves the following steps:
The entire procedure is performed under the same anaesthetic by a multidisciplinary team.
One of the most common concerns patients have is recovery after HIPEC. Although this is a major operation, structured perioperative care allows gradual recovery in most patients.
You should seek specialist evaluation if:
HIPEC may be considered for carefully selected patients with Stage III ovarian cancer, peritoneal metastasis, omental caking or primary peritoneal cancer, particularly when complete or near-complete cytoreductive surgery can be achieved. Every patient requires individualized evaluation before recommending HIPEC.
HIPEC is performed immediately after complete tumour removal during the same surgery. Heated chemotherapy is circulated within the abdominal cavity to treat microscopic cancer cells that may remain after cytoreductive surgery. It is not a separate operation and is not suitable for every patient.
Although CRS & HIPEC is a major procedure, structured perioperative care helps patients recover progressively. Early walking, gradual return to oral diet, effective pain control and close multidisciplinary monitoring are integral parts of recovery. In our representative clinical experience, most patients were discharged approximately 6 days after surgery once recovery milestones were achieved.
Successful HIPEC depends on much more than delivering heated chemotherapy. Appropriate patient selection, complete cytoreductive surgery, experienced anaesthesia and critical care teams, multidisciplinary surgical expertise and structured postoperative recovery all contribute to achieving the best possible outcomes.
