Cytoreductive Surgery: Reducing Tumor Burden in Advanced Cancer

Cytoreductive surgery is a specialized procedure aimed at removing as much of the tumor mass as possible in advanced cancers, such as ovarian or peritoneal cancer. By reducing the tumor burden, this surgery enhances the effectiveness of other treatments like chemotherapy. Dr. Nazish Khalid performs cytoreductive surgery with precision, improving patient outcomes and increasing the chances of long-term remission in complex cancer cases.

Cytoreductive Surgery and HIPEC for Ovarian Cancer

Cytoreductive surgery is a key procedure in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer, aiming to remove as much of the tumor as possible. In combination with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), this approach maximizes treatment effectiveness. After surgically removing visible tumors, HIPEC delivers heated chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity, targeting any remaining microscopic cancer cells. This combination is highly effective in improving survival rates for ovarian cancer patients. Dr. Nazish Khalid specializes in cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC, offering a comprehensive and aggressive approach to treating advanced ovarian cancer, helping patients achieve better long-term outcomes.

Primary Cytoreductive Surgery and Its Success in Ovarian Cancer

Primary cytoreductive surgery is crucial in treating advanced ovarian cancer by removing the bulk of the tumor. The success rate of this surgery depends on achieving optimal cytoreduction, where minimal tumor remains. Studies show that patients with complete or near-complete tumor removal have significantly improved survival rates. Dr. Nazish Khalid offers expertise in maximizing surgical success for better outcomes.

Interval Cytoreductive Surgery and Its Impact on Success Rates

Interval cytoreductive surgery is performed after a few cycles of chemotherapy in cases where initial surgery was not possible. The goal is to reduce tumor size and improve treatment effectiveness. Success rates depend on achieving optimal tumor reduction, with patients who undergo successful cytoreduction experiencing improved survival rates. Dr. Nazish Khalid ensures precise surgical interventions for better outcomes.
