Induction chemotherapy using intraarterial infusion

  • Chapter
Management of Gastric Cancer

Part of the book series: Cancer Treatment and Research ((CTAR,volume 55))

Abstract

Until recently gastrectomy was the only treatment offering any real prospect of cure for patients with gastric cancer. However, excepting patients with minimal disease, the results of gastrectomy alone have been unsatisfactory, whether the gastrectomy has been total or subtotal. Until recently the 5-year survival results of gastric resection in patients with invasive gastric cancer that appeared to be localized have variously been reported at between 5 and 25% [1–8]. Gastrectomy for patients with minimal disease, as detected from mass screening programs, has achieved better results [9]. However, in North America, Europe, and Australasia, patients with minimal disease form a small proportion of the overall numbers of patients with gastric cancer when first diagnosed [10].
