Phase II clinical trial of postoperative S-1 monotherapy for gastric cancer patients with free intraperitoneal cancer cells detected by real-time RT-PCR.
2010
Background
We have previously reported the molecular detection of peritoneal micrometastases in patients with gastric cancer by quantifying carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA in the peritoneal washes. Patients with CEA mRNA exceeding a cutoff value have a significant risk for developing peritoneal carcinomatosis, but optimal treatment for this population remains unknown.
