Care about your health

This portal is designed to inform patients with cancer of the abdominal organs and intra-abdominal wrap (peritoneum), their relatives and medics involved in their treatment.

In most of these patients in a short time after the operation the tumor develops metastatic disease (metastasis or relapse), limited to the peritoneal surface.

These patients currently treated with standard intravenous chemotherapy have a minimal chance of a cure if treatment is conducted only with chemotherapy (intravenous infusion). Within 6 months greater than 90% will die of the development of metastases in the abdomen. Within 24 months will experience a 5% -7%.

In particular group of patients with peritoneal metastasis is possible to completely cure. These are patients with recently diagnosed metastatic disease when metastasis can be completely removed, then korema be treated with a chemotherapeutic at higher than normal temperature 42-43 degrees Celsius. After the fifth year, between 25% - 44% of patients can be alive and without evidence of recurrence of the disease.

This combination therapy is termed cytoreductive surgery (MDGs) and hyper intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIHT), Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC).

The success of this combined approach is needed early detection of peritoneal metastases.

To have a chance to be cured, patients at high risk of peritoneal carcinomatosis should be helps prevent.

Patients at high risk include those with advanced tumors involving the entire wall of the intestine or the stomach, the presence of mucinous histology in the component, positive for tumor cells peritoneal secretion (cytology), peritoneal carcinomatosis visible during the surgery, metastasis in the ovaries in women. In the presence of one of these risk factors likelihood of developing peritoneal carcinomatosis was over 60%. In these patients, it is better to carry out prophylactic Regional hyperthermic chemotherapy within 3 months after primary surgery, rather than expected expression of the disease. In centers introduced and established cytoreduction and HIHT has taken this proactive approach.

Our team is working currently in hospital "Evrohospital" in Plovdiv has introduced a program for the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis. This program is consistent with similar ones integrated into the European and North American centers for surgical treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis.
