Treatment of peritoneal surface malignancy has always presented a challenge, requiring a careful balance of eradicating or managing the cancer while minimizing morbidity.   In this latest Clinician’s View, AdventHealth Orlando Colorectal Surgeon and Surgical Oncologist Christopher Aquina, MD, MPH, explains how combining cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) has emerged as a safe and viable treatment option for certain patients with peritoneal carcinomatosis. This targeted approach is improving their outcomes, including both survival and quality of life. https://lnkd.in/eR2rgpHp

** Another successful case of RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION. This involves a patient who underwent multiple surgical interventions for metastatic thyroid cancer. After three surgeries, confirmed persistence by cytology at the left paratracheal level; a fourth surgery would increase MORBIDITY. I chose to perform radiofrequency ablation since it is a minimally invasive procedure. In this 6-month follow-up ultrasound, we can observe the disappearance of the lesion, accompanied by a decrease in tumor markers. This underscores that radiofrequency is a safe and effective technique when appropriately indicated. #thyroid #ablation #radiofrequency #salvatutiroides #minimalinvasive #thyroidcancer

Low-grade vs high-grade serous #OvarianCancer: comparison of surgical outcomes after secondary #CytoreductiveSurgery 🔍 https://bit.ly/3SuI54N High-grade and low-grade serous ovarian cancers each have a different presentation at time of recurrence. Therefore, secondary cytoreductive surgery in low-grade ovarian cancer is significantly more complex than its high-grade counterpart, while maintaining a similar rate of postoperative complications.
