Intraperitoneal warming chemotherapy can improve the survival rate of patients with ruptured liver tumors

The average 3-year survival rate of patients with ruptured liver cancer tumors is only 20%. Wan Fang Hospital has already performed 4 cases of "intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy" to control the metastasis of patients with ruptured liver tumors, and all the patients are currently alive, and the longest period of time has been more than 5 years. According to statistics, if patients with ruptured liver tumors only undergo traditional resection, the average survival rates of 6 months, 1 year, and 3 years are only 54.4%, 41.4%, and 21.1%, respectively, while patients with non-ruptured liver tumors have survival rates of 90.2%, 84.1%, and 63%. Ms. Xie, who suffered from liver cancer more than five years ago with severe bleeding, underwent traditional surgery to remove the cancer cells and then used abdominal warming chemotherapy with regular annual follow-ups, and so far the cancer cells have not recurred and her liver index is normal. Hsieh Mao-chi, director of general surgery at Wan Fang Hospital, said that abdominal warming chemotherapy is to instill hot water at 42 to 43 degrees Celsius in the abdominal cavity after removing the cancerous tumor, together with chemotherapeutic drugs, so that the drugs can be evenly distributed and maintained in the abdominal cavity for 1 to 2 hours, taking advantage of the intolerance to high temperatures of the cancerous cells and the high temperatures to enhance the effects of chemotherapeutic drugs. Hsieh emphasized that the chemotherapeutic drugs can effectively kill the remaining cancer cells and avoid recurrence, greatly improving the survival rate of patients, and the patients are anesthetized during the treatment and will not feel any pain or discomfort.
