Hot Chemotherapy - The Nebraska Medical Center

Dr. Jason Foster is one of a very small number of surgical oncologists in the United States practicing HIPEC, or hot chemotherapy. It's used to treat cancers of the appendix, ovaries, colon as well as mesothelioma. Surgeons first remove the visible tumor from inside the abdominal cavity, then fill the cavity with a heated chemotherapy solution. The chemo essentially "washes" out the microscopic cancer cells from the patient's abdomen. It's these tiny cancer cells that often re-implant and cause the cancer to return. 65-80% of abdominal cancer returns in patients treated with traditional surgery followed by IV chemotherapy.

Mesothelioma FAQ (Nutrition Treatment Effects, Fatigue Patients)

What are the effects of treatments on nutrition?

When mesothelioma patients have undergone surgery, the energy and nutrients needed by body increases because the body must heal, combat infection, and many mesothelioma patients undergo pain, fatigue or appetite loss, they may be unable to eat normally like they did.The objective of chemotherapy is to inhibit cancerous cell growth and stop them from multiplying. Patients may experience difficulty in eating because there are also normal body cells that grow rapidly, examples are cells of the mouth and cell of the digestive tract. Side effects such as vomiting, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, changes in normal food taste, or mouth sores can affect nutrition.

Radiation therapy can also affect normal cells around the mesothelioma cancers site and can cause side effects such as fatigue and reduced appetite.

What are the nutritional problems associated with mesothelioma cancers?

The most seen and common nutritional problems facing a vast number of mesothelioma patients are:

Insufficient protein, and insufficient calories in their diet.

These mentioned nutritional requirements are very vital in the healing, provision of energy, and also in the help to fight infections.

It is therefore important that these nutrients be supplied in their diet. For patients who will be undergoing surgery, chemotherapy or other mesothelioma treatments options, intensive nutritional support is necessary and must be given to get them prepared for treatment, and for patients who will be undergoing palliative mesothelioma treatments, improving their nutrition will go a long way in offering them a better quality of life and a better general health.

How can fatigue affect mesothelioma patients?

Fatigue may also come from mesothelioma treatments, like radiation therapy or chemotherapy. A high degree of energy from the body is required in radiation therapy to repair tissue, that can expend or use up the energy supply of the body. Fatigue may also come from the effect of chemotherapy, where the patient can suffer from nausea, vomiting and loss of weight, and reoccuring fatigue as a result. Poor appetite or dietery factors may also cause fatigue as the mesothelioma cancers may require the body to need more nutrients. The patient may not be feeding well so as to get the essential nutrients, which could be as a result of the cancer, or other cancer-related reasons.
