Surgeons test novel chemotherapy delivery method during gastric cancer operations

Researchers combined traditional cancer surgery with a new drug-delivery technique that sprays chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during laparoscopic procedures. The feasibility study suggests this approach could reduce recurrence risk in high-risk gastric cancer patients, potentially opening a new treatment pathway for oncology centers and pharmaceutical companies focused on advanced drug-delivery systems.
