Surgery and heated chemotherapy for stomach cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests if surgery to remove visible cancer in the belly combined with heated chemotherapy placed directly into the abdomen can help people with stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the belly. It is for patients who are well enough to undergo major surgery and meet specific health requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
- Your cancer must have spread to the lining of your belly (peritoneum) but not to other organs like the liver or lungs.
- You must be in reasonably good health, as measured by your ability to do daily activities (ECOG score of 0, 1, or 2).
- Your kidney and bone marrow function must be adequate, based on routine blood tests.
- You cannot be pregnant, and if you could become pregnant, you must agree to use effective birth control.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a special type of chemotherapy that is heated and delivered directly into the belly during surgery (called HIPEC). It uses two drugs, cisplatin and paclitaxel, and is for people with stomach cancer who are at high risk of the cancer returning in the lining of the belly.
This study tests a “robot-assisted” surgery to remove stomach cancer in the belly lining (peritoneum) along with heated chemotherapy placed inside the abdomen. It’s for people whose cancer has spread only in the peritoneum, aiming to control disease when there’s a good chance of removing it all.
This trial tests a new treatment combination for locally advanced stomach cancer. First, you would receive a heated chemotherapy wash inside your abdomen (HIPEC). Then you would get the immunotherapy drug serplulimab plus standard chemotherapy (SOX or XELOX) before surgery, to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes.
This trial tests a combination chemotherapy plan—paclitaxel (albumin-bound), oxaliplatin, and S-1 given before surgery—to try to shrink stomach cancer and improve the chance of successful tumor removal. It is for people whose cancer is locally advanced or has spread, but might still be resectable (removable) in certain cases.
This trial studies whether adding paclitaxel chemotherapy around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum). It targets cancers confirmed by testing of belly fluid or by laparoscopy/laparotomy, and may help by treating cancer cells right at the time of surgery.
This trial tests adding the chemotherapy drug paclitaxel directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) along with standard IV chemotherapy for people with stomach or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen. The goal is to see if this combination helps control the cancer better than standard treatment alone.
