Why the Froedtert & MCW Health Network is unique

The team at Froedtert & MCW Health Network is unique because not only is the center experienced in dealing with patients with complex abdominal cancers, but all of the surgeons who perform HIPEC surgeries at the center are highly trained and they continue to perform numerous procedures every year.

A majority of patients who come to the center in need of HIPEC surgery are eager to contribute to advancing the field and the surgical team at Froedtert & MCW Health Network are continuously keeping up with data to do ‘outcomes research’. “So, in other words, to reflect on a certain series of patients to then share that nationally and internationally to try to improve the field of cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC,” said Dr. Gamblin.
