• Doctor’s experience. If a doctor has huge experience, academic degrees, his services can be more expensive.
• Country's price policy. Some countries provide low cost for HIPEC according to their price policy. For example, in India HIPEC surgery cost starts from $17,000 and in the USA – from $20,000 to $100,000. The quality of the chemo is at the same high level in both countries. Low costs in India are explained by general country's price policy.
