Furthermore , this therapy could increase the dem and on radiation re sources .
There is no evidence on which to make a recommendation for patients with node-negative tumours that have not penetrated the muscularis propria .
For patients unable to undergo radiation , adjuvant chemotherapy alone may be of benefit , particularly for those with lymph-node metastases .
There is insufficient evidence from r and omized trials to recommend neoadjuvant chemotherapy , or neoadjuvant or adjuvant radiotherapy or immunotherapy , either alone or in combination , outside a clinical trial .
OBJECTIVE To make recommendations on the use of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy in addition to surgery in patients with resectable gastric cancer ( T1 - 4 , N1 - 2 , M0 ) .
OPTIONS Neoadjuvant or adjuvant treatments compared with " curative " surgery alone .
OUTCOMES Overall survival , disease-free survival , and adverse effects .
The radiation fields used can possibly damage the left kidney , result ing in hypertension and other renal problems .
Adjuvant intraperitoneal cisplatin therapy in patients with operated gastric carcinoma: results of a randomized trial.
In a multicenter trial the efficacy of intraperitoneal administration of cisplatin after radical or palliative resection of gastric carcinoma with respect to overall survival was investigated . In 64 r and omised patients , patients treated with intraperitoneal perfusion did not show a benefit in the overall survival after a median follow-up of 18 months
