Intra-Peritoneal Chemo-Hyperthermia (CHIP): a new therapy in the treatment of the peritoneal seedings. Preliminary report.
After an experimental study in dogs, authors report a new therapeutic device for peritoneal seedings (Intra-Peritoneal Chemo-Hyperthermia) and their preliminary results in five patients. They observed no mortality and no morbidity with this protocol using Mitomycin as antimitotic and hyperthermia as sensibilisation agent. This new technique means important technological and time investment but preliminary results appear to be encouraging and authors intend to standardize the present apparatus in order to go on using this device and obtain more experience.
