Dr Ranjit Manchanda - Barts Cancer Institute, London, UK

Dr Manchanda speaks with ecancer at BCGS 2018 about the utility of heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy after surgery for ovarian cancer patients.

He describes some of the treatment indications from other diseases, and historic attempts to draw comparisons in women with ovarian cancer.
