Apex Hospitals, Jaipur, has achieved a breakthrough in cancer care by successfully treating a Stage-4 cancer patient using the highly advanced HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) technique. This milestone positions Apex Hospitals among the few healthcare institutions in Rajasthan offering this cutting-edge treatment.

The procedure was led by Dr. Rahul Yadav, Senior Consultant Oncosurgeon at Apex Hospitals, who explained that HIPEC offers a new lifeline for patients diagnosed with advanced abdominal cancers, such as those affecting the peritoneum, ovaries, or gastrointestinal tract.

“In Stage-4 cancer, the disease often spreads to surrounding tissues, making it difficult to eliminate using conventional chemotherapy alone,” said Dr. Yadav. “With HIPEC, we first perform surgery to remove visible tumours, followed by delivering heated chemotherapy at 42°C directly into the abdominal cavity. This allows for deeper penetration and more effective targeting of cancer cells.”

The success of this treatment not only highlights Apex Hospitals’ commitment to offering world-class medical care and brings highly specialized oncology services within reach for patients in Rajasthan. HIPEC was recently available only at select centres such as AIIMS Jodhpur. With its availability now at Apex Hospitals, patients no longer need to travel far for advanced cancer treatments.

This advancement underscores Apex Hospitals’ dedication to innovation, excellence, and patient-centric care, ensuring that even the most challenging cases receive new hope and expert treatment, right here in Jaipur.
