Antitumor Perfusion Chemotherapy

Antitumor perfusion chemotherapy (APC) is a method of treating oncological diseases based on the introduction of drugs into the tumor area through vessels isolated from the general blood flow. This method allows drugs to be delivered directly to the tumor, avoiding systemic exposure to the body.

Based on H.p.p. lies in the use of special artificial blood circulation equipment, which allows fluid containing medications to pass through the vessels supplying the tumor. This makes it possible to achieve a high concentration of drugs in the tumor and minimize their systemic effect on the body. In addition, this method can be used for local delivery of drugs to hard-to-reach areas of the body, such as metastases or tumors in the brain.

H.p.p. has a number of advantages over other methods of chemotherapy. Firstly, it allows you to achieve a higher concentration of the drug in the tumor, which increases the effectiveness of treatment. Secondly, it can be used to treat tumors that are resistant to traditional chemotherapy. Thirdly, H.p.p. can be used to treat relapses and metastases, which often occur after completion of the main course of chemotherapy.

However, H.p.p. also has its drawbacks. One of them is the high cost of equipment and procedures, as well as the need for special training of personnel. In addition, H.p.p. not always effective in treating all types of tumors.

Despite this, H.p.p. remains one of the most promising methods for treating cancer. It allows achieving high treatment efficiency, reducing systemic drug exposure and increasing patient survival.

Antitumor perfusion chemotherapy (APC) is one of the methods of treating oncological diseases. It involves long-term passage of a drug-containing fluid through the vessels supplying blood to the tumor using a heart-lung machine.

Tumor perfusion allows for more precise and efficient delivery of drugs to affected tissues and reduces side effects. H.p.p. can be used as a standalone treatment method or in combination with other methods such as radiation therapy or surgery.

One of the advantages of H.p.p. is the possibility of more accurate dosing of drugs, which leads to a reduction in side effects and improved treatment results. In addition, this technique can increase the life expectancy of patients with cancer.

However, H.p.p. has its drawbacks. For example, this is a fairly invasive treatment method that requires special equipment and qualified specialists. Also, H.p.p. may cause complications such as vascular damage, thrombosis or infection.

In general, H.p.p. remains one of the effective methods of treating cancer, but requires careful monitoring by specialists and compliance with all necessary safety measures.
