4 treatment settings, 3 with more than one named option. Each section lays out the options the standard of care names, what each is for, the trials behind them with their recorded results, the side effects and cautions on record, and questions to ask. Built from the cancer page's standard-of-care rows; nothing here is advice for your case.
Appendicectomy with clear margin; no right hemicolectomy; surveillance imaging if mucin was found outside the appendix.
A CT scan is a fast 3D X-ray that shows the size and shape of tumours and whether they have spread.
No trial record is attached to this row yet. The trials tab lists what is recruiting and the landmark trials for this cancer.

Complete cytoreductive surgery (peritonectomy and organ resection) with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, mitomycin or oxaliplatin, in a specialist centre.
Washing the abdominal cavity with heated chemotherapy during surgery to kill microscopic peritoneal deposits.
The chemotherapy given with radiation to cure anal cancer without surgery, used as a bladder instillation after tumour resection, and since 2020-25 in gel form for upper-tract and recurrent bladder cancers.

Cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC, with perioperative systemic chemotherapy (FOLFOX or CAPOX) as for appendiceal adenocarcinoma.
Washing the abdominal cavity with heated chemotherapy during surgery to kill microscopic peritoneal deposits.
FOLFOX is the workhorse chemotherapy combination for bowel cancer, used after surgery to cure and in advanced disease as the backbone that targeted drugs are added to.
CAPOX pairs the oral fluoropyrimidine capecitabine with intravenous oxaliplatin as a pill-based alternative to FOLFOX. For low-risk stage III colon cancer three months after surgery works as well as six and halves nerve damage; it is also standard in gastric cancer, with hand-foot syndrome as its price.

The pump and heater that circulate warm chemotherapy through the abdomen at the end of an operation for cancer that has spread across the abdominal lining, and the small nebuliser that sprays chemotherapy as an aerosol through keyhole ports when surgery is not possible.
