Trial Summary
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but it does mention that mitotane may be continued. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) with cisplatin is unique because it involves directly applying heated chemotherapy into the abdominal cavity after surgery to remove as much of the cancer as possible. This method is different from standard chemotherapy, which is usually given through the bloodstream, and it allows for higher concentrations of the drug to target cancer cells in the abdomen.
59101114Cisplatin, used in various treatments, has been associated with side effects like nausea, vomiting, and kidney issues. However, these effects often subside after stopping the treatment. It's important to discuss potential risks with your doctor.
123612Cisplatin, a component of the HIPEC treatment, has shown good results in previous studies for adrenal cancer, and cytoreduction with intraperitoneal chemotherapy has improved survival in other advanced cancers.
