From the Organizer
Armando Sardi, M.D., Director of The Institute for Cancer Care at Mercy, and his colleagues, Dr. Vadim Gushchin, Dr. Teresa Diaz-Montes and Dr. Kurtis Campbell, are among a finite group of surgical oncologists in the United States considered experts in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis using heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy, known as HIPEC.
For many patients, this surgery is the only chance of long-term survival; however, there is a lack of awareness about the disease and patients are often misdiagnosed and do not receive the most appropriate treatment.
Since its inception in 2009, Heat It To Beat It has raised over $3M to support research led by Dr. Sardi. Now in its 16th year, this patient-led event is focused on generating awareness for the life-saving HIPEC treatment.
When you support Heat It To Beat It you become part of the movement to advance research and awareness of the life-saving HIPEC treatment for peritoneal carcinomatosis.
