Hello,
We extend our sincere gratitude for choosing Gleneagles Hospital Malaysia for your healthcare requirements.

We are pleased to inform that Gleneagles Hospitals do offer medical consultations , treatment and procedures..

Stage 3C primary peritoneal cancer can be quite complex, especially with the diagnostic challenges you mentioned. The recommended course of action—surgery to remove the cyst, appendix, and omentum for further analysis—sounds reasonable, as it will provide a clearer diagnosis and allow for staging. Surgical intervention is often necessary to confirm the diagnosis and assess the extent of the disease.

Chemotherapy following surgery is a standard approach, as it aims to target any remaining cancer cells. The timing and type of chemotherapy can vary based on the individual case and the results of the surgery.

As for Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), it involves administering heated chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity during surgery. This method can be beneficial for certain patients, as the heat can enhance the effectiveness of the chemotherapy and allow for direct targeting of cancer cells.

The decision to use HIPEC depends on various factors, including the specific characteristics of the cancer, and the overall health of the patient. It's essential to discuss this option with your mother's medical team to see if it’s appropriate in her case.

Overall, it’s crucial to have an open discussion with the oncologist about the treatment plan, the potential benefits of HIPEC, and any other concerns you might have.

Our oncology center do provide HIPEC as well.
