Robotic Surgery + HIPEC for Stomach Cancer
Trial Summary
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
Research shows that the combination of docetaxel and cisplatin is effective in treating advanced gastric cancer, with studies indicating it is active against untreated advanced cases and can be part of a successful regimen for marginally resectable gastric cancer.
12345The combination of docetaxel and cisplatin has been studied for stomach cancer and is generally well-tolerated, but it can cause side effects like low white blood cell counts, hair loss, and nausea. These side effects are common but manageable with medical care.
678910This treatment combines robotic surgery, which is minimally invasive, with HIPEC (heated chemotherapy applied directly inside the abdomen) using drugs like cisplatin and docetaxel. This approach is unique because it targets cancer cells in the abdomen more directly and may reduce side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
1112131415Eligibility Criteria
Adults aged 18-80 with gastric cancer that has spread only to the lining of their abdomen, responding well to chemotherapy, and in good nutritional health can join. They must have a certain level of blood cells, kidney function, and body weight. People with cancer outside the abdomen or severe reactions to chemo can't participate.Inclusion Criteria
