Other doctors, as needed, such as those trained in medical genetics, general surgery, gynecologic surgery or urologic surgery.

Members of your care team spend time getting to know you, so they understand what's important to you. The result is a treatment plan that puts you at the center of the care you receive.

Your doctor at Mayo Clinic will work with you to review your treatment options and choose the treatment that best suits your needs and goals. The range of treatments offered to people with peritoneal carcinomatosis includes systemic chemotherapy, cytoreductive surgery, and specialized chemotherapy procedures, including hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC).

Mayo Clinic also offers palliative care services to help you manage the side effects of cancer treatment, as well as symptoms of cancer itself. Cancer survivorship clinics are available after cancer treatment ends. A cancer survivorship clinic may help you cope with the physical and emotional changes that sometimes happen after cancer treatment.

Advanced diagnosis and treatment

Mayo Clinic doctors and scientists have been at the forefront of cancer research for many years. They use knowledge and experience gained in research to improve care for people with peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Similarly, the oncology surgeons at Mayo Clinic draw on decades of cumulative experience treating cancer in a high-volume practice. They specialize in removal (resection) of complex tumors affecting multiple organs and structures in the abdomen and pelvis.

Mayo Clinic doctors have access to the latest treatment techniques, including:

Innovative treatments for cancer metastases. Mayo Clinic offers the latest treatments for cancer that spreads to the abdominal cavity (peritoneum). These newer therapies can help people with cancer metastases live longer. Procedures include cytoreductive surgery, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC).

These highly specialized therapies require precise skill and experience that a high-volume center such as Mayo Clinic can offer. At Mayo Clinic, our cancer team has extensive training and a track record of success with each one.
Minimally invasive surgery. During minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic surgery), several small incisions are made in the abdomen. Special tools and a camera are placed through the incisions. This allows the surgeon to remove the cancer without the need to make one large incision.
