HIPEC surgery for cancer | Ohio State Medical Center

Surgical oncologist Alex Kim explains HIPEC surgery, a two-step procedure that treats certain cancers in the abdomen. Step one is the cytoreductive surgery that removes cancerous tumors. Step two is the application of hypothermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) to the belly cavity to eliminate the remaining cancerous cells.

Can someone please tell me if this can be performed on someone who's peritoneal/omentum cancer is a primary diagnosis, not a metastasized secondary cancer, and is not outside the abdominal cavity.
