1.Histologically confirmed limited metastatic gastric or GEJ adenocarcinoma.*
2.Medical and technical operability of the primary.
3.Metastatic lesions are resectable or can be controlled by local ablative procedure (central evaluation).
4.No prior chemotherapy and no prior tumor resection.
5.Female and male patients >18 years. Patients in reproductive age must be willing to use adequate contraception during the study and 3 months after the end of the study (Appropriate contraception is defined as surgical sterilization (e.g., bilateral tubal ligation, vasectomy), hormonal contraception (implantable, patch, oral), and double-barrier methods (any double combination of: IUD, male or female condom with spermicidal gel, diaphragm, sponge, cervical cap)). Female patients with childbearing potential need to have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days before study start.
6.ECOG 0 or 1
7.Adequate hematological, hepatic and renal function parameters:
-Leukocytes = 3000/µl
-Platelets = 100,000/µl
-Serum creatinine = 1.5 x upper limit of normal, or GFR > 40 ml/min
-Bilirubin = 1.5 x upper limit of normal
-AST and ALT = 3.5 x upper limit of normal
-Alkaline phosphatase = 6 x upper limit of normal
8.Written informed consent of the patient.
(*) Definition of the limited metastatic status according Flot3-study with modification is:
1.Retroperitoneal lymph node metastases (RPLM) (e.g., para-aortal, intra-aorto-caval, parapancreatic or mesenterial lymph nodes) only
or/and
2.at maximum one organ involved with or without RPLM according to the following schema:
I.Localized potentially operable peritoneal carcinomatosis: stage P1 according to classification of the „Japanese Research Society for Gastric Cancer (Clinically visible carcinomatosis of the peritoneum or of the pleura and >P1 peritoneal carcinomatosis are not allowed!) or
II.Liver: maximum of 5 metastatic lesions that are potentially resectable or
III.Lung: unilateral involvement, potentially resectable or
IV.Uni- or bilateral Krukenberg tumors (ovarian met.) in the absence of macroscopic peritoneal carcinomatosis or
V.Uni- or bilateral adrenal gland metastases or
VI.Extra-abdominal lymph node metastases such as supraclavicular lymph node involvement or
VII.Localized bone involvement (defined as being within one radiation field) or
VIII.Other metastatic disease location that is considered limited by the investigator and is confirmed by the review committee
