Abstract
(Abstracted from Lancet Oncol 2023;24:P1109–P1118) Although the 5-year survival of patients with advanced ovarian cancer has improved, overall survival at 10 years remains approximately 13%. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) involves the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents directly into the peritoneum in combination with hyperthermia, which enhances penetration and increases sensitivity to platinum compounds by inducing a transient state of homologous recombination deficiency.
