Best Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) & HIPEC Treatment in Delhi
Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (PSM) are a group of cancers that spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity, known as the peritoneum. These cancers can arise from the colon, appendix, stomach, ovaries, or other abdominal organs. In the past, peritoneal cancer spread was often considered incurable. However, advances in cancer treatment have transformed outcomes for many patients through specialized procedures such as Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC).
For patients seeking the best CRS and HIPEC treatment in Delhi, expert care and timely intervention can significantly improve survival and quality of life.

What is Peritoneal Surface Malignancy (PSM)?
Peritoneal Surface Malignancy refers to cancer that has spread to the peritoneum, the thin membrane lining the abdominal cavity and covering abdominal organs. It may originate from:
Colon Cancer
Appendix Cancer
Gastric (Stomach) Cancer
Ovarian Cancer
Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP)
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
Without specialized treatment, these cancers can cause progressive disease within the abdomen, leading to significant symptoms and reduced survival.
What is Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS)?
Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) is an advanced surgical procedure designed to remove all visible cancer deposits from the abdominal cavity. The goal is to achieve complete tumor removal, often involving multiple abdominal organs or peritoneal surfaces when necessary.
CRS has become a cornerstone treatment for selected patients with peritoneal surface malignancies and offers the possibility of long-term disease control and, in some cases, cure.
What is HIPEC?
Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a specialized treatment performed immediately after Cytoreductive Surgery.
During HIPEC:
Heated chemotherapy is circulated throughout the abdominal cavity.
The chemotherapy directly targets microscopic cancer cells that may remain after surgery.
Heat enhances the effectiveness of chemotherapy while limiting systemic side effects.
The combination of CRS and HIPEC has significantly improved outcomes for many patients with peritoneal cancers.
Conditions Treated with CRS and HIPEC
CRS and HIPEC may be recommended for:
Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP)
A rare condition often arising from appendix tumors that produces mucin within the abdomen.
Peritoneal Metastases from Colon Cancer
Selected patients with colon cancer spread to the peritoneum can benefit from CRS and HIPEC.
Appendix Cancer
Appendiceal tumors frequently spread within the abdominal cavity and are commonly treated with CRS and HIPEC.
Gastric Cancer with Peritoneal Spread
In carefully selected cases, CRS and HIPEC may improve outcomes.
Peritoneal Mesothelioma
A rare cancer affecting the peritoneal lining that often responds well to aggressive cytoreduction and HIPEC.
Ovarian Cancer
Selected recurrent or advanced ovarian cancer cases may benefit from CRS-based treatment approaches.
Symptoms of Peritoneal Surface Malignancies
Symptoms often develop gradually and may include:
Abdominal bloating
Increasing abdominal girth
Persistent abdominal pain
Loss of appetite
Early satiety (feeling full quickly)
Unexplained weight loss
Nausea and vomiting
Changes in bowel habits
Fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites)
If these symptoms persist, specialist evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

Advanced Treatment Options Available
Treatment is individualized based on the cancer type, extent of disease, and overall health of the patient.
Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS)
The primary treatment involves meticulous removal of all visible cancer deposits from the abdominal cavity. This may include removal of affected peritoneal surfaces and involved organs when necessary.
HIPEC Treatment
Immediately after CRS, heated chemotherapy is circulated within the abdominal cavity to eliminate microscopic residual disease and reduce recurrence risk.
Systemic Chemotherapy
Many patients benefit from chemotherapy before surgery (neoadjuvant) or after surgery (adjuvant) to improve outcomes.
Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy
For selected cancers, molecularly targeted therapies and immunotherapy can be integrated into the treatment plan based on tumor biology.
CRS and HIPEC Treatment Cost in Delhi
The cost of CRS and HIPEC treatment depends on several factors, including:
Extent of disease
Complexity of surgery
Duration of hospitalization
ICU requirements
Chemotherapy medications used during HIPEC
Additional systemic treatments
General estimates include:
Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS): ₹4,00,000 to ₹12,00,000+
HIPEC Procedure: Additional ₹2,00,000 to ₹5,00,000+
Chemotherapy and supportive treatments: Variable depending on treatment protocol
