Is HIPEC Treatment Advisable For Granulosa Cell Tumor Of The Ovary?

I am a 59 yo woman diagnosed with granulosa cell tumor of the ovary. I ve had four recurrences, five major laporotomies, chemo twice, Avastin once and currently have an increasing tumor burden. Is HIPEC an option for me? I have had a complete cytoreduction of all my previous surgeries and except for the GCT I am spectacularly healthy.
