Core Tip

Core Tip: It has been found that extensive intraoperative abdominal lavage (EIPL) combined with abdominal chemotherapy can improve the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer. However, few studies have explored the safety and long-term efficacy of EIPL after therapeutic gastrectomy. This randomized study evaluated the efficacy and long-term outcome of advanced gastric cancer patients with extensive intraoperative peritoneal lavage.
