While cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC is considered the best option for survival, surgeons can never know the true extent of mesothelioma tumors until they open the abdominal cavity.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Berri believes in providing the best quality care for the patient before, during, and after the surgery for optimum results.<\/p>\n<p>Use our <strong>Free Doctor Match<\/strong> to connect with Dr. Berri and other top mesothelioma specialists.
