About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

Gastric cancer with positive is defined as stage IV disease in 7th AJCC/UICC TNM staging system. Controversy exists on the treatment of this part of patients. This trial aimed to explore the optimal treatment strategy for stage IV gastric cancer with positive peritoneal cytology as the only non-curable factor.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Chemotherapy-firstExisting treatment, for comparison

    Patients will receive hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) during laparoscopic staging. Then 3 cycles of preoperative chemotherapy and clinical evaluation of chemotherapy will be performed. If the patient's disease is evaluated as progressed, the patient will receive systemic therapy. If it's stable or remission, a second time laparoscopic staging and peritoneal cytology examination will be performed. If peritoneal implant is observed, the patients will receive systemic therapy. If the peritoneal cytology is still positive, the treatment will be decided according to the suggestion of MDT discussion. If the peritoneal cytology is converted negative, standard gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and extensive intraperitoneal lavage (EIPL) will be performed. Postoperative chemotherapy will be determined according to the pathological evaluation of preoperative chemotherapy response.

    Treatment: standard gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, Extensive intraperitoneal lavage, Preoperative chemotherapy, and Postoperative chemotherapy

  • Surgery-firstTreatment being tested

    Patients in this arm will receive standard gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy after randomization. Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and extensive intraperitoneal lavage (EIPL) will be applied before abdominal closure. After surgery, 8 cycles of postoperative chemotherapy will be performed.

    Treatment: standard gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, Extensive intraperitoneal lavage, and Postoperative chemotherapy
