Chemotherapy Delivered Into The Abdominal Cavity

Alaska rates for HCPCS 96446

Chemotherapy medication is delivered directly into the abdominal (peritoneal) cavity through a port or catheter that has already been placed there, rather than being given through a vein. This approach allows the medication to reach cancer cells in and around the abdominal lining at a higher concentration than intravenous delivery typically achieves. It's most often used for cancers that have spread within the abdominal cavity, such as certain ovarian cancers.
