Successful Completion of First CRS with HIPEC on a 60-year-old Woman with Advanced Peritoneal Carcinomatosis
Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], July 28: In a landmark achievement, a 60-year-old woman with advanced primary peritoneal carcinomatosis was successfully treated with Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) combined with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) at Manipal Hospital Dhakuria, under the expertise of Dr. Ashutosh Daga, Medical Oncologist, and Dr. Sagnik Ray, Surgical Oncologist. The 12-hour long procedure adds a milestone in cancer care treatment.
The sexagenarian was initially taken to another hospital where she was misdiagnosed as a case of chronic liver failure with ascites. When she came to Manipal Hospital Dhakuria, she had trouble breathing and was admitted to the ICU. In the ICU, the fluid in her lungs was drained and chemotherapy was done. Initially, she needed chemotherapy every week but as soon as her condition improvised, she needed it once in three weeks. Subsequently, she was also shifted to the general ward.
"We are proud to announce the successful completion of our first CRS with HIPEC at Manipal Hospital Dhakuria--an emerging center for comprehensive cancer care in Kolkata," saidDr. Ashutosh Daga. He went on to add, "Although we have previously performed a lot of CRS procedures and managed numerous advanced malignancies in collaboration with our medical oncologists, this was our first CRS case incorporating HIPEC that paves the way for complex procedures at the hospital for cancer patients."
Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) combined with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a highly specialized and evolving treatment modality used in the management of select gynecological, gastrointestinal, and occasionally thoracic malignancies. This complex procedure demands surgical precision and seamless coordination across multiple departments--including Anesthesiology, Critical Care, Physical Medicine, and Transfusion Medicine.
Dr. Sagnik Ray said, "After 5 months of chemotherapy, she underwent optimal cytoreduction followed by intraoperative delivery of heated chemotherapy using a dedicated HIPEC machine, and she responded to the treatment in a positive manner. The patient had an excellent recovery and was discharged in stable condition on the 9th day of the surgery."

Over 1k candidates queue up for 100 nursing posts
Panaji: More than 1,000 candidates from across Goa queued outside the directorate of health services for hours on Monday to try their luck at 100 contractual nursing positions. Interviews started at 10.30am, and several candidates were in line before 6am. Pranali, 25, a nurse in a private hospital in Bicholim, said she was surprised to see so many candidates. 'When I read about job openings, I thought, at the most, there would be 200 or 300 applicants. I didn't expect such a huge number of candidates,' she said. Alisha, 26, who worked at Manipal Hospitals, said, 'I have been here since 7.30am. My interview hasn't happened yet, but I'm tired and hungry. I'm still standing as this job is important to me, ' she said. Candidates were either employed in private hospitals, or unemployed. Many prefer even contract govt jobs due to the better pay package. 'My monthly takeaway is less than Rs 15,000. A govt job, even if contractual, would pay me better,' said Leena Naik, who works at a private hospital at Mapusa. She applied for all govt nursing posts. According to the Periodic Labour Force Survey (PLFS) 2023-24, the unemployment rate of Goa is 8.7%, double the national average of 4.5%, with women having a staggering 16.8% rate of unemployment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Benefits of Trading Bitcoin CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo AAP functionaries were at the scene distributing juice and packaged water bottles to candidates.
