Laparoscopic surgery with chemotherapy for advanced gastric cancer
Official title: Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy in the Treatment of Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer After Laparoscopic Gastrectomy With D2 Lymphadenectomy: A Phase III Multicenter Prospective Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
Run by The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University · NCT05871099 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing if adding a special heated chemotherapy treatment during surgery can help people with advanced stomach cancer live longer and avoid cancer spreading in their abdomen.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are newly diagnosed patients aged 18-80 with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma who are eligible for laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with distant metastasis or those who have previously received chemotherapy or radiotherapy may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) combined with laparoscopic gastrectomy and D2 lymphadenectomy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive HIPEC along with systemic chemotherapy or systemic chemotherapy alone after their surgical procedure. The primary aim is to determine if the addition of HIPEC improves the 5-year overall survival rate and reduces the incidence of peritoneal metastases. The study focuses on patients who have not undergone prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve survival rates and reduce cancer recurrence in patients with advanced gastric cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown promising results with HIPEC in various cancers, suggesting potential success for this approach in gastric cancer as well.
