Great to hear an #ovariancancer success story. Sadly, only 33% are diagnosed at stage 1 (>5 year survival rate 90%). We're developing a normothermic intraperitoneal chemo treatment to improve outcomes for late-stage disease.

Want to share this with all of you. It’s been quite the year, and I am feeling very grateful! 🙏❤️

HIPECT4 – phase III, randomized, open-label controlled trial – adjuvant hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy in locally advanced colorectal cancer. result? Reduced risk of relapse, especially in patients with pT4 colorectal CA.

Thanks my friend, this is one additional action to do in our patients to complemente the good surgery https://twitter.com/gomezjorgemd/status/1617955271128813569
@LucyBowden20 @HillUrology @BladderCancerUK @CombatCancer Great work
First Hivec patient today @HillUrology Looking after our @BladderCancerUK patients. Thanks to @CombatCancer
51% of patients had a complete response. Of those who responded, 46% remained in complete response for at least 1 yr. Hmm. A complete response rate of 23% after 1 yr. Combat’s #HIVEC with MMC = 70% complete response after 1 yr (Stemberger et al, 2022). #CombatCancer
The FDA recently approved the first gene therapy for treating high-risk bladder cancer that doesn’t respond to immunotherapy with bacillus Calmette- Guérin, commonly used to treat adults with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer. https://ja.ma/3Heu4DL #MedicalNews
Quick heads up – who’s going to #ArabHealth2023 in Dubai at the end of January?

“The study showed that surgery combined with HIPEC was more effective in terms of time to local recurrence for patients with pathomorphologically confirmed stage T4 (pT4) colorectal cancer.”

Since HIPECT4 trial has demonstrated reducing risk of peritoneal relapse in t4 colon cancer the debate is now open, great reflection published in @AnnSurgOncol @myESMO @PSOGI_EC @ESSOnews @GECOPeritoneal @operarelcancer @ISSPP1 @Annals_Oncology @HUReinaSofia @IMIBIC https://twitter.com/segurajuanj/status/1616107720528039937
Peritoneal metastasis in locally advanced #coloncancer has a poor prognosis in the 3 years post surgical resection. The HIPECT4 phase III trial is the first to show the benefits of mitomycin C administered with surgery via #HIPEC – @alarjosan 👏👏

After HIPECT4 results decreasing the risk of peritoneal relapse in cT4 colon cancer, we use this approach routinely, and you?
