What is HIPEC?

Hyperthermic (or heated) intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a surgical cancer treatment. Doctors sometimes perform it on people with certain abdominal cancers because it’s not as toxic as traditional chemo.

HIPEC involves pumping heated chemotherapy drugs into your abdomen.

These drugs have high concentrations, but unlike traditional chemotherapy, they’re part of a one-time treatment and don’t require using intravenous (IV) infusions into your bloodstream. Because of that, these toxic drugs are less harmful to noncancerous tissues outside your abdomen.
