The cancers that don't announce themselves are the hardest to treat, usually found in stage 2 or 3.

It involves giving the chemotherapy not into the vein but as a wash in the body cavity containing the organs. This makes sense to apply it directly to areas where the cancer is most likely to have metastasized.
