Blood test may help some gastric cancer patients avoid unnecessary chemo

NCT ID NCT06157216

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study explores whether a blood test that detects tiny bits of tumor DNA (ctDNA) can help doctors decide if patients with stage II-III gastric cancer need chemotherapy after surgery. About 65 patients will be followed for three years to see if those with no detectable ctDNA can safely receive less intense treatment. The goal is to reduce side effects while still preventing cancer from coming back.
