Chemotherapy before surgery for advanced stomach cancer
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs given before surgery for locally advanced stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer. It aims to see if this approach helps shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
