Can anyone explain what a HIPEC is? When would they do this? Also has anyone experienced elevated ALT/SGPT and AST/SGOT while undergoing chemo? Is this normal. Brothers levels were normal prior to starting chemo...now they are elevated after 1 treatment. He is having his second treatment of folfirinox today. Thank you for any help.

Hello @amchurch, While we wait for members with experience to respond, I thought this Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast might provide some answers for you.
