Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a specialized cancer treatment available at Centro PAD in Madrid, Spain. This procedure treats peritoneal carcinomatosis by combining cytoreductive surgery with heated chemotherapy applied directly inside the abdomen. The medical team uses advanced robotic systems to perform this complex therapy with high precision.
The treatment at Centro PAD happens in two stages. First, surgeons remove all visible tumors from the abdominal cavity. After removing the cancer, the team circulates heated chemotherapy drugs throughout the abdomen. This process helps destroy microscopic cancer cells that might remain after surgery. This direct application allows for higher drug concentrations than standard intravenous chemotherapy.
Centro PAD operates within the HLA Moncloa University Hospital. This facility is recognized among the World's Best Smart Hospitals 2023. The hospital holds ISO 45001 accreditation, which shows a strong commitment to safety and quality management. Patients receive care in a modern environment designed for complex surgical oncology.
The surgical team uses Da Vinci robotic systems, including the X, Xi, and 5 models. These tools allow for millimeter precision during tumor removal. Using robotic technology helps reduce tissue trauma and may shorten recovery time for patients. The clinic also uses laparoscopic methods for minimally invasive care when appropriate.
The medical team includes highly trained specialists in digestive surgery:
Each patient at Centro PAD receives a tailored treatment plan based on their specific diagnosis. The process begins with a consultation to review the medical history and imaging. The doctors then determine if the patient is a candidate for the HIPEC protocol. Follow-up care is provided to monitor recovery after the surgical procedure.
