Abstract

Background: In patients with stage III epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the addition of hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemoperfusion (HIPEC) to interval debulking was recently shown to improve survival compared to surgery alone. However, the added benefit of hyperthermia remains unknown. Here, we report secondary outcomes of the OvIP study (NCT02567253), a multicenter randomized trial investigating tumor tissue platinum penetration after normothermic (37°C) versus hyperthermic (41°C) chemoperfusion with cisplatin at 75 or 120 mg/m2.
