Particle Stability During Pressurized Intra-peritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC)

Background/Aim: Pressurized intra-peritoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a new approach in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis. With PIPAC currently limited to liquid chemotherapeutic solutions, this study aims to investigate whether the application range may be extended to the delivery of therapeutic nano- or microparticles. Materials and Methods: Human serum, bacteria cultures and macrophage cells were aerosolized in an established...
