Summary

This study tests whether a blood test that detects tiny traces of cancer DNA (ctDNA) can guide treatment after gastric cancer surgery. The goal is to see if patients with no detectable cancer DNA can safely skip additional chemotherapy, avoiding harsh side effects. About 90 adults with advanced gastric cancer who received chemo before surgery will participate. The approach aims to personalize care and reduce unnecessary treatment.
