Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], April 22: Malla Reddy Narayana Hospital, Hyderabad is a premier cancer care centre in Telangana, announced a remarkable medical achievement: the successful treatment of a rare case of Primary Peritoneal Ewing’s Sarcoma using an advanced procedure involving Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) followed by Hypothermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC).
This rare and complex case involved 24-year-old Mr. Kumar, who had previously undergone two lines of chemotherapy at other institute came to the Cancer Center of Malla Reddy Narayana Hospital, he was diagnosed with Primary Peritoneal Ewing’s Sarcoma, an exceptionally rare and aggressive malignancy that typically does not occur in the peritoneum. The diagnosis and subsequent treatment required a high level of expertise and precision, provided by a multidisciplinary oncology team led by Dr. Harish Dara, Senior Consultant – Surgical Oncology.
The surgical team undertook a challenging 16-hour procedure, which included complete tumor debulking followed by the direct infusion of heated chemotherapy into the abdominal cavity–a technique known as HIPEC. This innovative method is designed to eradicate any residual microscopic cancer cells, enhance chemotherapy absorption, and minimize damage to healthy tissues.
HIPEC, now available at Malla Reddy Narayana Cancer Hospital, represents a significant advancement in the treatment of abdominal cancers such as ovarian, colorectal, gastric cancers, pseudomyxoma peritonei, mesothelioma, and certain rare sarcomas. Unlike conventional chemotherapy, HIPEC is delivered intra-operatively at elevated temperatures, significantly improving clinical outcomes.
This successful case exemplifies the hospital’s ability to manage rare and complex oncological conditions through advanced medical technology, surgical expertise, and a patient-centric approach.
