Actress Audrey Hepburn could have survived her appendiceal cancer today. Renowned Harvard-trained American cancer surgeon Dr. Paul Sugarbaker explains. Audrey Hepburn died in 1992 from metastatic cancer of the appendix. It spread along peritoneal cavity in the abdomen. Today, 23 years later, The Sugarbaker Procedure is used successfully to treat appendiceal cancer and pseudomyxoma peritonei. Audrey Hepburn appendix cancer could be cured today. Audrey Hepburn would have had cytoreductive surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy(HIPEC), hot chemo bath, heated chemotherapy today. Dr. Paul Sugarbaker, MD. Cytoreductive surgery is effective treatment for appendiceal cancer. 70% of the appendiceal malignancies (appendix cancer) are cured with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC. Dr. Anton Titov, MD.

Video interview with Dr. Paul Sugarbaker. Dr. Paul Sugarbaker, MD. Leading expert in peritoneal metastatic cancer treatment. Cytoreductive surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC), hot chemo bath, heated chemotherapy. Audrey Hepburn appendix cancer could be cured today. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. Let's speak about appediceal cancer, the cancer of appendix. Movie star Audrey Hepburn had appendix cancer (appendiceal cancer, not colon cancer). Sometimes perhaps Audrey Hepburn was treated in your hands and in modern times her life would have been significantly extended. Perhaps Audrey Hepburn's appendix cancer could be successfully treated by the Sugarbaker procedure that you have developed? Dr. Paul Sugarbaker, MD. Renowned Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgeon. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. Audrey Hepburn died several decades ago. Audrey Hepburn was treated at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. They did not have a peritoneal surface oncology group there. Now they have a quite sophisticated peritoneal cancer treatment program. Audrey Hepburn would have had a cytoreductive cancer surgery. Audrey Hepburn also almost undoubtedly would have had HIPEC as part of her cancer treatment today. Dr. Paul Sugarbaker, MD. I actually don't know what the extent of Audrey Hepburn's appendix cancer was. The smaller the extent of cancer spread in the peritoneum, the more likely we are to achieve success in cancer treatment. Less aggressive appendiceal cancer malignancies are more successfully treated than the more aggressive or more invasive appendix cancers. Dr. Paul Sugarbaker, MD. I don't know the details of Audrey Hepburn's clinical situation. But I would imagine Audrey Hepburn could be cured at this point in time. Because a large number of the appendiceal malignancies (appendix cancer) are cured with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC. That is a huge change, because all those people with appendix cancer used to die. Now up to 70% of appendix cancer cases are cured with cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC. The biggest success story is the appendix cancer. Dr. Anton Titov, MD. Audrey Hepburn died in 1992. 20+ years essentially all these types of cancer (appendix cancer) can be cured with the Sugarbaker Procedure. You had developed the treatment for peritoneal malignancy and peritoneal cancer spread. Dr. Paul Sugarbaker, MD. Previously many peritoneal cancer cases were deemed inoperable at the time. For example, appendix cancer that Audrey Hepburn had. Dr. Paul Sugarbaker, MD. Renowned Gastrointestinal Cancer Surgeon. I say "we developed", because development of the Sugarbaker Procedure was a combined effort by surgeons from Japan, France, United States. The Sugarbaker Procedure is a combined effort putting together these strategies to treat peritoneal spread of cancer. Audrey Hepburn's appendix cancer could be cured today by The Sugarbaker Procedure. Cytoreductive surgery and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy HIPEC.
