Dr. Sybilann Williams: Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is chemotherapy that is directed, directly to the abdominal cavity. The certain types of gynecological cancers such as ovarian cancer can spread within the abdominal cavity its self. Primary peritoneal carcinoma can also do that, and basically intraperitoneal chemotherapy involves instilling a solution of chemotherapy drugs directly into the area that’s at risk. The advantage to it is that the cancer cells themselves bathed in a solution of the chemotherapy it doesn’t have to get there through the blood stream. And there is a significant increase in the concentration of chemotherapy drug that the patients, actually, well that the cancer cells are exposed to.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
