AGITG TOP GEAR: A randomised phase II/III trial of preoperative chemoradiotherapy versus preoperative chemotherapy for resectable gastric cancer [ 7/1/2021 - 6/30/2026 ]

Research Grant

Brief description While surgery to remove stomach cancer has been traditionally accepted as the only way to potentially cure the disease, there have been several recent advances using chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy both before and after surgery. Doctors' opinions remain divided regarding best treatments to give and in what order. This trial will address the important question of whether combined chemotherapy plus radiotherapy is more effective than chemotherapy alone in improving cure rates for stomach cancer.
