Best Peritoneal Surface Malignancy (PSM) Treatment in Delhi

Peritoneal Surface Malignancy (PSM) is a complex condition in which cancer spreads to the lining of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneum. It may arise from cancers of the colon, appendix, stomach, ovary, or from primary peritoneal tumors. Although PSM was once considered incurable, advances in surgical oncology and specialized treatments such as Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) have significantly improved outcomes.

For patients seeking the best Peritoneal Surface Malignancy treatment in Delhi, access to experienced specialists and advanced treatment facilities can make a meaningful difference in survival and quality of life.

What is Peritoneal Surface Malignancy (PSM)?

Peritoneal Surface Malignancy refers to cancer that involves the peritoneum, the thin membrane lining the abdominal cavity and covering abdominal organs. It commonly develops when cancers from the colon, appendix, stomach, ovaries, or other abdominal organs spread to the peritoneal surface.

Unlike cancers confined to a single organ, PSM often presents with multiple tumor deposits throughout the abdominal cavity, requiring highly specialized treatment approaches.

Causes and Risk Factors

Peritoneal Surface Malignancy may develop due to:

• Advanced colorectal cancer

• Appendiceal cancer

• Gastric (stomach) cancer

• Ovarian cancer

• Primary peritoneal cancer

• Pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP)

• Peritoneal mesothelioma

Individuals with a history of abdominal cancers are at increased risk of developing peritoneal disease.

Symptoms of Peritoneal Surface Malignancy

Symptoms can be vague and often develop gradually. Common signs include:

• Persistent abdominal pain or discomfort

• Abdominal bloating or swelling

• Unexplained weight loss

• Loss of appetite

• Nausea and vomiting

• Changes in bowel habits

• Fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites)

• Fatigue and weakness

Because these symptoms can mimic other digestive disorders, early evaluation by a specialist is essential.

Best Peritoneal Surface Malignancy Treatment in Delhi

Delhi is home to some of India’s leading cancer centers offering specialized treatment for PSM. Dr. Asit Arora is experienced in managing complex gastrointestinal and peritoneal cancers using advanced surgical techniques and multidisciplinary cancer care.

Every treatment plan is carefully tailored based on the origin of the cancer, extent of disease, overall health, and treatment goals.

Advanced Treatment Options Available

Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS)

Cytoreductive Surgery is the cornerstone of treatment for selected patients with PSM. The goal is to remove all visible tumor deposits from the abdominal cavity.

This highly specialized procedure may involve removing affected portions of organs and peritoneal surfaces to achieve complete tumor clearance.

HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy)

HIPEC is often performed immediately after Cytoreductive Surgery.

During the procedure, heated chemotherapy is circulated throughout the abdominal cavity to destroy microscopic cancer cells that may remain after surgery. This approach allows higher concentrations of chemotherapy to directly target cancer while minimizing systemic side effects.

Systemic Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy may be used:

• Before surgery to reduce tumor burden

• After surgery to lower recurrence risk

• For advanced disease where surgery is not feasible

Modern chemotherapy regimens have improved disease control and survival outcomes for many patients.

Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy

Depending on the cancer type and molecular profile, targeted therapies and immunotherapy may be recommended. These treatments specifically attack cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues and may be beneficial in selected advanced cases.

Peritoneal Surface Malignancy Treatment Cost in Delhi

The cost of PSM treatment varies depending on disease extent, treatment complexity, and hospital facilities.

Factors affecting treatment costs include:

• Extent of Cytoreductive Surgery

• Need for HIPEC

• Chemotherapy protocols

• Hospital stay duration

• Intensive care requirements

• Additional targeted therapies

Estimated Cost Range

• CRS Surgery: INR 4,00,000 to 10,00,000+

• CRS + HIPEC Procedure: INR 8,00,000 to 20,00,000+

• Chemotherapy: INR 50,000 to 2,50,000 per cycle

• Targeted Therapy/Immunotherapy: INR 1,50,000 to 10,00,000+ depending on the drug and duration

Many hospitals offer insurance support and financial counseling services to help patients manage treatment expenses.
