简要总结
Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies in China. The majority of patients are diagnosed at the locally advanced stage. Despite standard treatment involving radical resection combined with adjuvant chemotherapy, approximately 40% of patients experience recurrence and metastasis, with peritoneal metastasis accounting for nearly half of these cases.
Building upon our team's previous establishment of next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) in peritoneal lavage fluid and blood, this project aims to guide systemic chemotherapy with or without intraperitoneal chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer patients based on the results of peritoneal lavage fluid MRD testing. We will investigate whether intraperitoneal chemotherapy can reduce the peritoneal metastasis rate in patients testing positive for MRD in peritoneal lavage fluid. The ultimate goal is to propose a novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for post-operative adjuvant treatment of gastric cancer, addressing this critical clinical challenge.
Patients testing negative for MRD in peritoneal lavage fluid will be enrolled in an observational cohort study. This cohort will explore the concordance between blood-based MRD positivity and actual clinical recurrence and metastasis. The objectives are to determine whether blood-based MRD can predict the occurrence of non-peritoneal metastasis after surgery and whether it can be used to evaluate the efficacy of post-operative systemic chemotherapy.
