⭐ New Webinar On January 29th at 7PM: HIPEC vs. PIPAC: Exploring a New Clinical Trial for Appendix Cancer Patients Not Eligible for Cytoreductive Surgery.

This is a free webinar reviewing CHARLIE’S Trial 2, a Randomized Phase II trial comparing heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC). The session will be presented by Patrick Wagner, MD, and Shannon Altpeter, PA-C, of Allegheny Health Network.

There is a great need to expand treatment alternatives for patients with peritoneal disease who are not candidates for cytoreductive surgery. This study aims to assess the relative safety and tolerability of laparoscopic HIPEC vs PIPAC, and to compare the effectiveness and value for patients of these two methods.
