Multidisciplinary Precision and HIPEC Therapy
Offer New Hope to 24-Year-Old Patient
Hyderabad, April 21, 2025 – Malla Reddy
Narayana Cancer Hospital, Suraram, a premier cancer care centre in Telangana,
held a press meet today at 11:30 AM within the hospital premises to announce a
remarkable medical achievement: the successful treatment of a rare case of
Primary Peritoneal Ewing’s Sarcoma using an advanced procedure involving
Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) followed by Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal
Chemotherapy (HIPEC).
This rare and complex case involved
24-year-old Gautham Kumar, who had previously undergone two lines of
chemotherapy at other institute, reached Malla Reddy Narayana Hospital for the
Surgery. Diagnosed with Primary Peritoneal Ewing’s Sarcoma , an exceptionally
rare and aggressive malignancy that typically does not occur in the peritoneum.
The diagnosis and subsequent treatment required a high level of expertise and
precision, provided by a multidisciplinary oncology team led by Dr. Harish
Dara, Senior Consultant – Surgical Oncology
The surgical team undertook a challenging
16-hour procedure, which included complete tumor debulking followed by the
direct infusion of heated chemotherapy into the abdominal cavity—a technique
known as HIPEC. This innovative method is designed to eradicate any residual
microscopic cancer cells, enhance chemotherapy absorption, and minimize damage
to healthy tissues.
HIPEC, now available at Malla Reddy Narayana
Cancer Hospital, represents a significant advancement in the treatment of
abdominal cancers such as ovarian, colorectal, gastric cancers, pseudomyxoma
peritonei, mesothelioma, and certain rare sarcomas. Unlike conventional
chemotherapy, HIPEC is delivered intra-operatively at elevated temperatures,
significantly improving clinical outcomes.
This successful case exemplifies the
hospital’s ability to manage rare and complex oncological conditions through
advanced medical technology, surgical expertise, and a patient-centric
approach.
