Overview:

Peritoneal cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the peritoneum, which is the thin layer of tissue that lines the abdomen and covers most of the organs in the abdominal cavity. This type of cancer is relatively rare, accounting for approximately 1% of all cancer cases. Peritoneal cancer often develops as a result of the spread (metastasis) of cancer from other organs in the abdomen, such as the ovaries, colon, stomach, or pancreas. It can also occur independently, arising directly within the peritoneum.

• Symptoms and Diagnosis: Peritoneal cancer can present with various symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, changes in bowel habits, and unexplained weight loss. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment. Diagnostic methods such as imaging tests (CT scan, MRI) and biopsy help in confirming the presence of peritoneal cancer.
• Treatment Options: At Heal Onco Care, we offer comprehensive treatment approaches tailored to each patient's unique needs. Treatment options for peritoneal cancer may include surgery, chemotherapy, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), and targeted therapy.
