FLOT + HIPEC + Surgery: HIPEC with irinotecan after 4 doses of preoperative FLOT chemotherapy
FLOT + Surgery: Perioperative FLOT chemotherapy (4 doses before and 4 doses after gastrectomy) and surgery
Study summary
The study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of perioperative FLOT chemotherapy in combination with perioperative hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in patients with advanced gastric cancer at high risk of peritoneal metastases. The impact of treatment on peritoneal recurrence and survival over 6 months, 1, 3 and 5 years will be assessed.
