After the cleaning cancerous tissues and organs that are visible to naked eye and have spread to peritoneum and abdomen, surrounding areas are washed with thermal chemotherapy. This cleaning microscopically affects the cancer cells that are not visible to naked eye. Thermal chemotherapy is used in peritoneal mesothelioma, appendicitis, colon, rectum, ovarian, and stomach cancers that have spread only to the abdomen. During thermal chemotherapy, the abdomen is washed for 30-90 minutes with about 4 litres of liquid containing a chemotherapeutic drug, heated to 42-43 degrees. With this method, the chemotherapy drug, penetrating into the tissues more, equally affects entire abdomen from the inside. "Thermal chemotherapy", used at the last stage of the tumours that spread to inner part of the abdomen, is able to extend the life of the patients up to two or even three times.
