Seems relevant to my situation. Do you know if the Mayo Clinic offers this treatment? I am being treated by a local oncology team here, in New Orleans. I am also being tested/treated at MD Anderson. I don’t see this treatment on offer by these institutions. ChatGPT lists a few places; Germany, Japan, etc.

I’m in the UK. I know they do the latest PIPAC in Germany and Spain. I think here too. There may be trials in US and I have no idea what the Mayo do. Sorry I can’t be of any more help.

@tobydrake7, the team of Dr. Amit Merchea performed the first PIPAC in the USA on Dec 4th, 2019 at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville, FL.

Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a promising and innovative method for treating peritoneal metastasis.

Here's a clinical trial that Dr. Merchea is conducting.

Are you on clinical trial at MD Anderson?
