Innovative Treatment for Colon
Cancer Patients

Samuel Bieligk, MD
A cutting-edge, multidisciplinary therapy — led by surgical oncologist Samuel Bieligk, MD — is significantly improving and extending the lives of patients with advanced colon cancer.

Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) involves continuously circulating a heated sterile solution with chemotherapy throughout a patient’s abdomen. Dr. Bieligk treats patients with this technique after tumor removal surgery. HIPEC attacks any residual cancer cells that may remain. The heat alone can help kill some cancer cells, as well as enhance the chemotherapy effort.

If you’d like to learn more about HIPEC, please call Dr. Bieligk at 410-553-8150.
