Dr Gushchin is the director of the hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) program, as well as the leader of the Melanoma and Skin Cancer Center and director of Gastrointestinal Oncology in the Division of Surgical Oncology at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, Maryland.

Rosenshein, MD, Institute for Gynecologic Care at Annapolis, as well as a gynecologic oncologist with The Gynecologic Oncology Center at Mercy Medical Center.

In our exclusive interview, Drs Gushchin and Diaz-Montes discussed findings from the phase 2 HOT trial (NCT02124421) evaluating health-related quality of life (QOL) outcomes after cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC in patients with primary ovarian cancer, the importance of devising more accurate strategies to assess patient QOL after receiving cytoreduction and HIPEC, and future directions for this research.
