Common questions

Tap a question to see the answer.

Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.

1Is HIPEC done in Vizag?

HIPEC isn’t available in Vizag itself. CION arranges it at a partner centre, usually in a bigger city, and your doctor tells you where to go. Your consultation and follow-up can be in Vizag or by video.

2Is HIPEC suitable for everyone?

No. It suits people whose cancer in the abdomen can be fully or almost fully removed, and who are fit for a major operation. The tumour board decides.

3How long is the recovery?

It is a major operation, so recovery takes longer than routine surgery. Your surgeon explains what to expect for you.
