Lead Sponsor
The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School
Brief Summary

Tumor messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression levels may have a promising role as potential predictive biomarkers for chemotherapy.

Peritoneal carcinomatosis appears to be the most common pattern of metastasis or recurrence and is associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy is widely accepted strategy in the treatment of peritoneal dissemination.

In this study, our aim is to evaluate the impact of individualized selection of chemotherapeutics and intraperitoneal combined with system chemotherapy on overall survival, disease free survival, response rate, and safety of advanced gastric cancer patients.
