Procedures like Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion (HIPEC) and minimally invasive robotic surgery offer new hope for patients in the advanced stage of ovarian cancer.Until recently, treatment options for patients with advanced-stage ovarian cancer have only included surgery and conventional chemotherapy.However, with HIPEC and robotic surgery, surgeons can potentially improve their odds and reduce the morbidity associated with traditional open procedures.Joongho Shin, MD, is here to explain the Robotics and HIPEC Programs at Palmdale Regional Medical Center.
