Advanced HIPEC Program for Abdominal Cancers
Sheba Medical Center – A Global Leader in Precision Cancer Surgery

For many patients diagnosed with advanced abdominal cancers, being told that surgery is no longer possible can feel devastating. At Sheba Medical Center, we believe that every patient deserves access to the most advanced treatment options available and for carefully selected patients, HIPEC may offer a new path forward.

Sheba is internationally recognized for its expertise in Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) and is home to the International Center for the Study of HIPEC & PIPAC, treating hundreds of patients from Israel and around the world each year.

By combining highly specialized cancer surgery with heated chemotherapy delivered directly into the abdomen, our team is helping patients achieve outcomes that were once considered impossible.

What Is HIPEC?

HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) is an advanced treatment designed for cancers that have spread within the abdominal cavity.

The procedure combines two powerful treatment strategies:

Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) to remove all visible tumor deposits
Heated chemotherapy delivered directly into the abdomen to destroy microscopic cancer cells that may remain after surgery

The chemotherapy is gently heated to approximately 42°C (107.6°F) and circulated throughout the abdominal cavity, allowing it to penetrate tissues more effectively while targeting cancer cells directly.

Why HIPEC Is Different

Traditional intravenous chemotherapy often has difficulty reaching cancer cells spread across the lining of the abdomen.

HIPEC allows our specialists to:

Deliver significantly higher concentrations of chemotherapy directly to the affected area
Improve penetration of cancer-fighting drugs through the use of heat
Target microscopic disease that cannot be seen during surgery
Minimize exposure of the rest of the body to chemotherapy

This innovative approach may provide improved disease control and, in selected patients, the possibility of long-term survival.

Conditions Commonly Treated with HIPEC

HIPEC may be considered for carefully selected patients with:

Peritoneal metastases from colorectal cancer
Advanced ovarian cancer
Gastric (stomach) cancer with peritoneal spread
Appendix cancer and pseudomyxoma peritonei
Peritoneal mesothelioma
Selected rare abdominal malignancies

Every case is individually reviewed by our multidisciplinary team to determine whether HIPEC is the most appropriate treatment option.
