This has been done in Germany for years with good results.

I have a friend in the UK who has bowel cancer which spread to her lungs , she is getting chemo directly into her lung . Sounds like the same king if procedure. That's all I know about it .Sounds interesting! Do you know if the results in Germany are good ?

What is Pipac, never heard of it? Can you enlighten us? Cheers Iside

PIPAC treatment is a pressurized chemo spray into the abdomen done laparoscopically every 8 weeks You can google it and get a better explanation. It will tell you the criteria for qualifying and how it’s done

I was told by a researcher that they are bringing this trial to Cardiff soon, for ovarian cancer I believe - it’s an aerosol form of chemo applied directly into the abdomen.
