• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2021-01-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Scirrhous gastric cancer, also known as linitis plastic or Borrmann type 4, is an aggressive tumor with an extremely poor prognosis. Aggressive surgical procedures and adjuvant chemotherapies have not improved the survival rate. The purpose of this study is to determine whether neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with SEEOX regimen via intra-arterial and intravenous administration are effective in the treatment of Borrmann type 4 gastric cancer.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No
