Treating Peritoneal Mesothelioma at Vanderbilt
Dr. Kamran Idrees was recruited by Vanderbilt University to lead and help expand the institution’s Peritoneal Surface Malignancy and HIPEC programs. He has helped develop a multidisciplinary approach to treating patients that have peritoneal surface malignancies, including malignant mesothelioma.
Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) allows a surgeon to place heated chemotherapy directly to a mesothelioma patient’s disease.
