New combo therapy aims to shrink stomach cancer spread

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Age between 18 and 75 years; 3. Male or non-pregnant, non-lactating female; 4. Gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma confirmed by gastroscopy and pathological diagnosis; 5. HER-2 negative by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and PD-L1 CPS ≥1; 6. Laparoscopic exploration confirming either positive cytology alone (P0CY1) or peritoneal metastasis (PCI score ≤10); 7. No other distant metastases; 8. Hematological criteria: white blood cell count ≥3.5×10⁹/L, neutrophils ≥1.5×10⁹/L, platelet count ≥100×10⁹/L, hemoglobin ≥90 g/L; 9.
