HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) is a procedure in which heated chemotherapy is delivered directly into the abdominal cavity after cytoreductive surgery, targeting peritoneal disease that systemic chemotherapy cannot reach effectively. Dr. Nishtha performs HIPEC in Ahmedabad — patients in Gujarat and western India no longer need to travel to Mumbai or abroad.
