Surgery that removes all visible cancer from inside the belly, followed by heated chemotherapy washed through the belly during the same operation.
Pending doctor checkThe surgeon removes every visible tumour from the lining of the belly (cytoreductive surgery). Then, while still in theatre, heated chemotherapy is circulated through the belly for about an hour (HIPEC) to treat cancer cells too small to see. Heat helps the medicine work better, and little of it reaches the rest of the body.
Selected people with cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly (peritoneum) from the ovary, bowel, appendix or stomach, and people with peritoneal mesothelioma or pseudomyxoma.
Every patient gets their own estimate, in writing, from the hospital. These are the things that move it.
Room types, equipment and running costs differ from one hospital to the next.
A surgeon's fee follows their experience and how complex the operation is.
Keyhole or robotic surgery, and the make of any implant, can change the price.
Other conditions, earlier treatment and the tests you need before treatment all count.
Days in hospital, any time in intensive care and the weeks you spend recovering in India.
Physiotherapy, medicines to take home and follow-up visits are added only if your doctor asks for them.
The estimate is not final until the doctor has examined you in India. If anything changes, we explain it before you agree to it.
