Heated chemo bath during stomach cancer surgery shows promise
NCT ID NCT07313579
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during surgery can help prevent stomach cancer from coming back. About 200 adults with advanced stomach cancer that has spread to the lining of the abdomen will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if this approach lowers the chance of cancer returning in the abdomen.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- mitomycin C and cisplatin (heated chemotherapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce the chance of cancer returning in the abdomen for people with advanced gastric cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. Heated chemotherapy carries risks like infection, kidney damage, and low blood cell counts.
