Debra's Case

This is the case of Debra, a 66-year-old English woman. In 2024, she received a diagnosis that changed her life: pseudomyxoma peritonei (peritoneal carcinomatosis of appendiceal origin). As you can imagine, it was a very difficult time filled with uncertainty.

Her treatment was carefully planned and, as the disease was unresectable from the outset, the team decided on a two-stage surgical strategy: two surgeries with HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) two months apart.

These surgeries were performed by Drs. François Quenet and Juan José Torrent, internationally recognised as leading experts in this type of highly complex oncological procedure. Thanks to their experience and surgical precision, the treatment went perfectly.

The most incredible thing is that there were no after-effects or visible signs of the disease. Debra made a full recovery and is currently in routine oncological follow-up with favourable check-ups.

"I've been very lucky." Debra, patient

Debra says that when they told her everything had been a success, she started crying with relief. Her case represents the gratitude of someone who found, in the right place and at the right time, the professionals capable of changing the course of her story.
