Primary Peritoneal Cancer
(Peritoneal surface carcinoma)
Preferred Diagnostic Procedure:
- Laparoscopy: Minimally invasive procedure to visually examine the peritoneum and take tissue samples for biopsy.
- Imaging Tests: Utilization of CT scans, MRI, and PET scans to obtain detailed images and assess the spread of cancer within the abdominal cavity.
Preferred Treatment Procedure:
- Cytoreductive Surgery: Surgical removal of visible tumors within the peritoneum, often combined with heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to target remaining cancer cells.
- Chemotherapy: Systemic chemotherapy to manage and reduce cancer, often used in conjunction with surgery or as a standalone treatment if surgery isn’t feasible.
Thoracic Oncology
Preferred Diagnostic Procedure:
- Bronchoscopy: A procedure that allows doctors to view the inside of the lungs and air passages, often accompanied by a biopsy to examine tissue samples.
- Imaging Tests: CT scans, MRI, and PET scans are used to obtain detailed images of the lungs and surrounding structures to detect tumors and assess their spread.
Preferred Treatment Procedure:
- Surgery: Surgical options such as lobectomy, pneumonectomy, or wedge resection to remove tumors from the lungs or chest cavity.
- Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy: Employed as primary treatments or adjuvant therapies, depending on the type and stage of cancer. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy may also be considered for advanced cases.
