Leading-Edge Surgical Oncology for Peritoneal Disease
Peritoneal surface malignancy occurs when cancer spreads within the abdominal cavity, affecting the peritoneum that lines the organs. Early evaluation and precise surgical intervention are vital for optimal outcomes.
At Remedium Superspeciality Clinic, we provide comprehensive care for peritoneal cancers, including:
- Precision-guided surgical oncology
- CRS with HIPEC for advanced abdominal malignancies
- Robotic-assisted surgery when appropriate
- Personalised treatment planning and structured follow-up
What is Peritoneal Surface Malignancy?
Peritoneal surface malignancy occurs when cancer spreads across the peritoneum, the lining of the abdominal organs. It can originate from ovarian, colorectal, stomach, appendix, or primary peritoneal cancers.
Warning signs include abdominal swelling, fluid buildup (ascites), digestive issues, or unexplained weight loss. Early evaluation by a specialist improves treatment outcomes.
CRS & HIPEC Surgery: Life-Changing Precision for Peritoneal Cancers
Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a game-changing treatment for peritoneal surface malignancies. This advanced procedure removes all visible tumors from the abdominal cavity, including affected peritoneal lining and involved organs when needed, aiming for complete tumor clearance.
Immediately after surgery, HIPEC delivers heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen, targeting hidden cancer cells with unmatched precision. The heat boosts effectiveness while reducing side effects, giving patients the best chance for long-term control.
Dr. Snita Sinu Kumar, one of India’s few CRS & HIPEC-trained surgeons, offers this specialised treatment at Apollo Hospitals, Pune, blending surgical expertise with personalised care for optimal outcomes.
Why Early Evaluation Matters
Timely assessment is critical because peritoneal cancers often present with subtle or non-specific symptoms. Early detection allows:
- Optimised surgical outcomes
- Higher chance of complete tumor removal
- Reduced risk of recurrence
- Personalised treatment planning
Who Benefits from CRS & HIPEC?
Patients with peritoneal surface involvement from cancers such as:
- Ovarian cancer
- Colorectal cancer
- Gastric (stomach) cancer
- Appendix cancer
- Primary peritoneal tumors
Early referral to a specialist improves the potential for long-term disease control.
