  • Analysis of safety protocols and occupational hazard mitigation strategies.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in treatment outcomes were observed among various HIPEC delivery methods.
    • Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is confirmed as a safe procedure when standard protective measures are implemented.
    • Guidelines for preventing occupational hazards associated with HIPEC are presented.

    Conclusions:

    • The choice of HIPEC delivery technique does not appear to impact treatment results.
    • Adherence to safety protocols ensures the safe application of HIPEC for both patients and healthcare professionals.
    • Standardized guidelines are crucial for managing occupational risks in HIPEC procedures.
