Dr. Goodman’s Treatment Plan
Tufts Medical Center is considered a high-volume center in the U.S. It is recognized nationally for surgically treating patients with peritoneal malignancies. If you are a patient of Dr. Goodman, you may experience cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC.
Cytoreductive Surgery – this procedure can take anywhere from 10 to 12 hours to be performed. By opening the abdomen, surgeons examine a patient’s organs and remove any visible tumors. In some cases, a patient may also have parts of certain organs removed.
Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) – typically follows a patient’s cytoreductive surgery. This procedure can take anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes. By applying a high dose of heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen, it’s goal is to remove any mesothelioma cells that weren’t removed during surgery.
Annually, Dr. Goodman and his team perform anywhere from 40 to 50 HIPEC procedures at Tufts Medical Center. Cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC has shown to improve a patient’s survival rate and quality of life. In some cases, a mesothelioma patient may just experience HIPEC if they aren’t a good candidate for surgery.
