Abstract:
The paper presents a review of the the last 20 years experience of some important oncologic and surgical centers all over the world on IntraPeritoneal Hyperthermic Chemotherapy (IPHC) applied by well known specialists in this domain: Sugarbaker P. (SUA), Takeshi S. (Japan, Elias D. (France), Deraco M. (Italy) and others. Then 20 cases of abdominal cancers with or without peritoneal metastases are presented, in which IPCH was applied using a Romanian apparatus of drainage - lavage with hyperthermic solutions of 5 Fluorouracil, alone or combined with cisplatin, over a 3 years period. The results are encouraging although the follow-up of this group is in progress.
