Cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC and IORT enhances gastric cancer survival

Findings indicate that cytoreductive surgery combined with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) and intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) significantly improves overall survival (63 months) and disease-free survival (87 months) for gastric cancer patients.

The absence of in-hospital mortality underscores the treatment’s safety profile alongside its efficacy.
