Core Tip

Core tip: This was a prospective analysis performed with patients with cT4N0-3M0 gastric cancer to compare the effects of postoperative prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy plus intravenous chemotherapy with those of routine adjuvant chemotherapy. Prophylactic hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy after radical tumor surgery is beneficial to reduce peritoneal tumor recurrence and prolong survival.
