EBest HIPEC Treatment in Chennai | Expert Cancer Care by Dr. Srikarthik Voleti
Advanced Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) and cytoreductive surgery for selected abdominal and peritoneal cancers, with individualized surgical oncology planning in Chennai.
Advanced HIPEC Treatment & Cytoreductive Cancer Surgery
HIPEC, or Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy, is a specialized cancer treatment approach that may be considered for selected patients whose cancers involve the peritoneal cavity. It is commonly performed in combination with cytoreductive surgery (CRS), where visible cancer deposits are surgically removed as completely as safely possible.
Dr. Srikarthik Voleti provides surgical oncology evaluation and individualized planning for patients being considered for HIPEC treatment in Chennai, cytoreductive surgery, peritonectomy and complex abdominal cancer surgery.
Treatment decisions depend on the primary cancer, extent and location of peritoneal disease, resectability, previous treatments, overall health and the multidisciplinary assessment of each patient.
What Is HIPEC?
HIPEC is a procedure in which heated chemotherapy is circulated within the abdominal cavity during surgery after appropriate cytoreduction.
HIPEC May Be Considered For
- Selected peritoneal surface malignancies
- Peritoneal metastases
- Pseudomyxoma peritonei
- Selected appendiceal cancers
- Selected colorectal cancers with peritoneal spread
- Selected gastric cancers with peritoneal disease
- Selected ovarian and gynecologic cancers with peritoneal involvement
- Other carefully selected abdominal malignancies

How HIPEC Treatment Is Planned

Consultation

Multidisciplinary Planning
The case is assessed in the context of surgical, medical oncology, radiology, pathology and supportive-care considerations.
CRS & HIPEC
If appropriate, cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC are performed as part of the individualized treatment plan.
Why Is HIPEC Combined With Surgery?
HIPEC is generally performed after appropriate cytoreductive surgery. The goal is to address microscopic or residual cancer cells within the peritoneal cavity using heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
The role of HIPEC varies according to cancer type, disease burden, treatment protocol and individual clinical circumstances.
Patient Selection for HIPEC
Patient selection is one of the most important parts of HIPEC care. Factors that may be considered include:
- Primary cancer type
- Extent and distribution of peritoneal disease
- Ability to achieve meaningful cytoreduction
- Previous chemotherapy or other cancer treatments
- General health and organ function
- Performance status and recovery capacity
- Overall multidisciplinary assessment

HIPEC Treatment FAQ
What is HIPEC treatment?
HIPEC stands for Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy. It is a specialized treatment in which heated chemotherapy is circulated within the abdominal cavity, usually following appropriate cytoreductive surgery in selected patients.
What is CRS HIPEC?
CRS HIPEC refers to cytoreductive surgery combined with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy. Cytoreductive surgery removes visible tumor deposits, while HIPEC is used to deliver heated chemotherapy within the abdominal cavity.
Which cancers may be treated with HIPEC?
Depending on clinical circumstances, HIPEC may be considered for selected appendiceal, colorectal, gastric, ovarian, peritoneal and other abdominal cancers with peritoneal involvement. Suitability varies between patients.
Is HIPEC suitable for every patient with peritoneal cancer?
No. HIPEC is not appropriate for every patient. Cancer type, disease distribution, resectability, previous treatment, general health and other factors must be assessed before considering this treatment.
