HIPEC with ThermoChem™ HT-2000: A Game-Changer in Advanced Cancer Care

  • Oncology
Contents

Cancer treatment has evolved significantly, bringing new hope to patients with advanced abdominal cancers. At Medway Hospitals, Kodambakkam, we are pushing the boundaries of innovation with HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) using the ThermoChem™ HT-2000 system, offering a new lease on life even for Stage IV cancer patients.

What is HIPEC?

Traditional chemotherapy circulates throughout the body, often leading to unwanted side effects. HIPEC, however, takes a localized approach—delivering heated chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity after the surgical removal of visible tumors. This ensures:

✅ Targeted treatment with enhanced drug absorption
✅ Higher chemotherapy concentration where it’s needed most
✅ Minimal damage to healthy organs and tissues

HIPEC with ThermoChem™ HT-2000

Why is Heat Important?

The ThermoChem™ HT-2000 system precisely regulates the temperature of the chemotherapy solution at 42°C (107.6°F). This heat:

🔥 Increases the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs
🔥 Weakens and destroys microscopic cancer cells
🔥 Enhances drug penetration while reducing systemic toxicity

In simpler terms—heat supercharges chemotherapy, making it more powerful yet safer!

ThermoChem™ HT-2000: Precision Meets Innovation

Medway Hospitals is among the few centers to offer HIPEC with the ThermoChem™ HT-2000 system, a globally trusted technology designed for:

🔹 Uniform drug distribution across the peritoneal cavity
🔹 Accurate temperature control for maximum efficacy
🔹 Automated safety features ensuring smooth treatment flow

With cutting-edge advancements, we are reshaping the future of cancer treatment.

Who Can Benefit from HIPEC?

HIPEC is proving to be a game-changer for patients with:

🔸 Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
🔸 Ovarian Cancer
🔸 Colorectal Cancer with peritoneal spread
🔸 Pseudomyxoma Peritonei
🔸 Gastric Cancer with peritoneal metastasis

Why Medway Hospitals?

At Medway, we combine expertise, technology, and compassionate care to ensure the best possible outcomes. Our multidisciplinary oncology team is dedicated to offering personalized, advanced treatments—because every patient deserves a fighting chance.

A New Era in Cancer Treatment Begins Here!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) is considered a major surgery. It involves surgically removing visible tumors from the abdomen (cytoreductive surgery), followed by heated chemotherapy delivered directly into the abdominal cavity. The procedure is complex, lengthy, and requires hospitalization and recovery time, typically used for advanced abdominal cancers like mesothelioma or colorectal cancer with peritoneal spread.

HIPEC uses heated chemotherapy drugs, most commonly Mitomycin C or Cisplatin, depending on the type of cancer. These drugs are circulated in the abdominal cavity at high temperatures (around 41–43°C) to enhance their effectiveness. The heat improves drug penetration and kills cancer cells more efficiently while limiting systemic side effects since the chemo stays localized.

HIPEC chemotherapy itself isn’t painful because it’s performed under general anesthesia during surgery. However, post-operative pain is common due to the major abdominal surgery involved. Patients may experience discomfort, bloating, or fatigue during recovery. Pain is managed with medications, and most symptoms improve over time as the body heals from both the surgery and chemotherapy effects.
