“HIPEC is essentially us putting chemotherapy into a carrier solution inside the abdomen. Once we've finished the operation and once we've achieved complete clearance of the disease, that solution is heated to 42C (107F) and we circulate that for 90 minutes using a HIPEC machine.”
What David Constable-Phelps has said
“This was a highly complex case. By the time Caroline's cancer was diagnosed, it was very advanced and had spread to multiple areas, including the abdominal wall, diaphragm, liver and bowel. Remarkably, she responded so well to chemotherapy that surgery, which had initially not been possible, became a viable option.”
