Alternatives to surgery are available for advanced appendix cancer, but more data is needed to accurately treat this rare form of cancer. Cathy Eng, M.D., ****ociate professor of Gastrointestinal (GI) Medical Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses options for non-surgical candidates including hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (heated chemotherapy). Eng explains treatment options as well as ways to expand research for appendix cancer.
In this era of healthcare reform, GBMC is moving toward a patient-centered, evidence-based medicine model where physicians and care teams focus on a patient's overall wellness and long-term care rather than episodic care. To accomplish this, we are making significant investments in healthcare information technology (EMR, CPOE) and are building a network of hospital and community-based healthcare providers (GBHA) to deliver integrated and coordinated care.
We are moving into the future with renewed energy and increasing insight and have adopted a new vision:
"To every patient, every time, we will provide the care that we would want for our own loved ones."
From a dance injury... to a rare form of appendix cancer. Karen Wills traveled from Lincoln, Nebraska, to Nebraska Medicine in Omaha for her treatment. Surgical oncologist Dr. Jason Foster performed hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC), which involves instilling a heated solution of chemotherapy in the abdominal cavity to kill any remaining small tumor nodules and microscopic cells.
