RESUMEN
Although recent advances in systemic chemotherapy have improved the clinical outcomes of gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis, the peritoneum still represents a common site of treatment failure and disease recurrence. Neoadjuvant intraperitoneal-systemic chemotherapy has been acknowledged as a more aggressive treatment for gastric cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis. In this multicenter phase III randomized controlled trial, 238 patients will be randomly separated into two groups in a 2:1 ratio after laparoscopic exploration. The experimental arm will receive the proposed neoadjuvant intraperitoneal-systemic chemotherapy regimen, whereas the control group will receive a Paclitaxel + S-1 (PS) chemotherapy regimen. The endpoints for the study are overall survival, response rate, gastrectomy radicality rate, progression-free survival and adverse events.
Recent advances in technology have improved the outcomes of stomach cancer patients. However, there are still many patients who die of cancer that has spread from another part of the body. Neoadjuvant intraperitonealsystemic chemotherapy has been acknowledged as a more aggressive treatment for stomach cancer patients with peritoneal metastasis (cancer that has spread to the very thin layer of tissue on the inside of the abdomen that covers the stomach and other organs). In this study, 238 patients will be randomly separated into two groups in a 2:1 ratio after evaluation. The experimental group will receive the proposed neoadjuvant intraperitonealsystemic chemotherapy regimen, whereas the control group will receive a Paclitaxel + S-1 (PS) chemotherapy regimen. The endpoints for the study are how long patients live, number of patients who respond to treatment, number of patients who undergo surgery, how long patients live without their disease getting worse and problems caused by treatment. Trial registration number: ChiCTR-IIR-16009802.

Although gastric cancer with para-aortic lymph node (PAN) metastasis is commonly regarded as unresectable, surgeons have explored the optimal treatment for patients with PAN metastases limited to No.16a2/b1 in the past few decades. Preoperative systemic therapy combined with D2 gastrectomy plus PAN dissection may improve the prognosis of these patients. In this multicenter phase II trial, 29 gastric cancer patients with PAN metastasis limited to No.16a2/b1 will receive preoperative treatment with nab-paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, S-1 (nab-POS: nab-paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, S-1) and sintilimab followed by D2 gastrectomy plus PAN dissection; and postoperative treatment with oral S-1, intravenous sintilimab and intraperitoneal paclitaxel. The end points for the study are 3-year overall survival, 3-year disease-free survival, pathological response rate, incidence of postoperative complications and adverse events.
Stomach cancer with metastases in the para-aortic lymph nodes is usually considered inoperable. Chemotherapy combined with resection of the stomach and more extensive lymph node dissection may prolong the life of these patients. In this multicenter study, 29 stomach cancer patients with para-aortic lymph node metastases will receive preoperative treatment with nab-paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, S-1 and sintilimab, followed by resection of the stomach combined with para-aortic lymph node dissection and use of continued oral, intravenous and intraperitoneal chemotherapy. The study's end points are 3-year overall survival, 3-year disease-free survival, pathological response rate, incidence of postoperative complications and adverse events.

Although complete omentectomy is traditionally performed in patients with gastric cancer as part of radical gastrectomy to ensure the elimination of micrometastases, the prognostic value of omentectomy during gastrectomy remains unclear. Retrospective studies have shown that the incidence of metastases in the greater omentum is very low in T1-T3 gastric cancer. Thus radical gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy and preservation of the greater omentum may be a proper curative treatment for gastric cancer patients with T1-T3 tumors. The aim of this article is to describe the design and rationale for this prospective, randomized controlled DRAGON-05 trial, conducted to evaluate the prognostic value of omentum-preserving gastrectomy for patients with T1-T3 gastric cancer.
