Intraperitoneal Cancer Therapy

This book investigates intraperitoneal chemotherapy in a variety of complex and interesting ways. The volume details major clinical trials to date, including immunotherapy, hyperthermic treatment of colo-rectal and ovarian cancers. Authors also examine regional approaches to therapy, systemic therapy, and the use of carboplatin and paclitaxel as the standard treatment for women with stages III and IV ovarian cancer. Other chapters also investigate techniques and procedures in treatment, as well as future direction of both normothermic and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
