MCI Multispecialty Grand Rounds – Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC)

Miami, FL US
March 10, 2020

Peritoneal carcinomatosis remains a diagnostic challenge with sparse treatment options. The effect of systemic chemotherapy remains limited inside the peritoneum due to low penetration and a relative resistance of peritoneal nodules. Heated IntraPeritoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) improves survival in selected patients but entails a high incidence of complications. Pressurized IntraPeritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) allows to disperse the active agents inside the peritoneal cavity by laparoscopy. Distribution and tissue penetration of chemotherapy by PIPAC appear superior to HIPEC and systemic chemotherapy despite of the use of lower doses. 

Target Audience

Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Hematology Oncologists, Radiation Therapists, General Surgeons, General Practitioners, Obstetricians and Gynecologists, Nurses, Social Workers, Patient Navigators and all other interested healthcare professionals.
