With advanced surgical oncology infrastructure, IRCCS Ospedale San Raffaele offers HIPEC for selected patients with cancers involving the lining of the abdominal cavity. Established in 1971, the SSN accredited hospital is located in milan, Italy, and has 1350 beds.

HIPEC is generally performed after cytoreductive surgery removes visible cancer from the abdomen. A heated chemotherapy solution is then circulated within the abdominal cavity for a specified period before being removed. The approach may be considered for selected peritoneal cancers, depending on the tumour type, disease burden, and the patient's ability to undergo major surgery.
