Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in the Management of Ovarian, Fallopian Tube and Peritoneal Carcinomas

Q: How does OCRA curate its research paper database?

OCRA indexes peer-reviewed papers from PubMed and CrossRef, enriched with MeSH terms, author profiles, and citation metrics. Papers are categorized by cancer type, research method, and clinical relevance.

Q: Can I search papers by MeSH term or author?

Yes. Use the search bar to filter papers by MeSH term, author name, journal, keyword, or cancer type. Each paper includes linked MeSH terms and author profiles for further exploration.

Q: How current is the paper database?

The database is updated regularly through automated ingestion from PubMed and CrossRef. Most papers appear within days of their PubMed indexing date.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a leading cause of gynecologic cancer-related deaths. Despite improvements, the 10-year survival rate has remained relatively unchanged in recent years. Disease recurrence occurs in nearly 80% of patients with advanced disease symptoms. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) is a therapy that targets common sites of OC recurrence with heated chemotherapy during surgery, which promotes either direct cell death, heightened deoxyribonucleic acid damage, or increased tumor susceptibility to chemotherapeutics. Clinical trials utilizing HIPEC have shown promising results. This paper aims to provide an overview of HIPEC, including historical trials, mechanistic insights, recent advances, and ongoing clinical trials.
