Boost the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs

In efforts to boost the effectiveness of anti-cancer drugs, a new method called intra-peritoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy works by flushing a heated chemotherapy drug through tissue surrounding a tumor. Immediately after the tumor is removed, heat boosts the drug's potency and weakens the tumor's ability to repair itself. The targeted delivery means a higher concentration of the anti-cancer drug reaches the tumor.
