Hi,
Dr. Lenz just posted on his blog about surgery and hyperthermia and HIPEC. Here's the article.

Anyone familiar?
Great Kathleen, I just read this too. My question is, when do you find out if that is the type you have? I've had tons of tests and read the reports and biopsies but no mention of that description. When do they know if it's mucinous or non-mucinous? Apperently, it makes a big difference in the way it spreads. Just wondering if anyone else knows. Thanks,
Chris
