This video explains everything you need to know about LAMN and PMP—two conditions that need urgent awareness.
In this informative awareness message, Dr. Jagadish Kothari, Senior Surgical Oncologist, explains LAMN (Low-Grade Appendiceal Mucinous Neoplasm)—a rare cancer arising from the appendix that often spreads throughout the abdomen, producing thick mucinous fluid. Despite being slow-growing, this disease can fill the entire abdominal cavity if not diagnosed and treated early.

Dr. Kothari also highlights PMP (Pseudomyxoma Peritonei), another rare but serious condition linked to appendix tumors. Since 2013, PMP Awareness has also been observed in the month of August, further emphasizing the global push to educate people about these uncommon but impactful cancers.

The most encouraging part?
LAMN and PMP are highly curable when treated by trained Peritoneal Surface Malignancy (PSM) experts.
The treatment often involves a combination of aggressive surgery and HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy)—a heated chemotherapy technique delivered inside the abdomen after tumor removal.

At HCG Aastha Cancer Centre, Ahmedabad, our specialist team has been performing these complex procedures for over 10 years, delivering excellent outcomes for patients diagnosed with LAMN and PMP.

Awareness saves lives. Early diagnosis and treatment by expert teams can completely change outcomes for rare appendix cancers like LAMN & PMP.
