ForwardSecond U.S. PIPAC Training Workshop
SECOND U.S. PIPAC TRAINING WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC) is a novel therapy for patients with peritoneal metastases from gastrointestinal (GI) and ovarian cancers. Few effective treatment options exist for these patients. PIPAC is administered at time of diagnostic laparoscopy and requires certification of surgical oncologists through a PIPAC training course, with quality assurance overseen by the International Society for the Study of Pleura and Peritoneum (ISSPP).
PIPAC is a promising therapy to address peritoneal metastases of GI and ovarian cancer patients. As this is a new and emerging therapy, this is only the second U.S. PIPAC training course to train and certify a practitioner to administer this therapy.
WORKSHOP HIGHLIGHTS
- Didactics addressing the concept, outlining occupational health measures, demonstrating safety steps and identifying equipment needed to perform PIPAC procedures
- Dry lab simulation
- PIPAC — Live case demonstration with Q&A
- Course exam and certification
Target Audience
Surgical oncologists, gynecologic oncologists, fellows-in-training, medical oncologists, other medical personnel interested in assisting with pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy care (pharmacists, anesthesiologists, operating room registered nurses).

- Discuss the concept and rationale of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosolized chemotherapy (PIPAC) for patients with peritoneal metastases.
