Résumé

Heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is currently performed using an external circuit including a heating device and a pump. Available devices have several drawbacks in terms of costs, technique (flow surges due to blocked tubes) and staff safety, hindering a wider use. In a previous preclinical study conducted in animals, we placed a heating wire within the abdomen to achieve and maintain hyperthermia. Our results showed this technique is safe and effective. The present pilot study was conceived as the first use of such a device in humans, aiming to confirm its safety and efficacy.
