This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial compares two approaches for treating advanced stomach cancer that has spread to other organs within the abdomen. Half of the participants will receive chemotherapy followed by surgery to remove the stomach, while the other half will receive chemotherapy alone. The study is trying to determine which approach helps patients live longer and have a better quality of life.
Doctors are unsure whether removing the stomach after chemotherapy helps patients with advanced stomach cancer live longer. Some recent studies suggest it may help, especially depending on where the cancer started in the stomach, but previous large studies showed no clear benefit. This trial will provide clearer answers to help guide treatment decisions.

After you complete 4 cycles of chemotherapy, you will have scans and a diagnostic procedure (laparoscopy) to confirm your eligibility. You will then be randomly assigned to either receive surgery to remove your stomach followed by more chemotherapy, or to continue with chemotherapy alone. If assigned to surgery, the procedure will remove your stomach and nearby lymph nodes. You will have follow-up visits with imaging scans and blood tests to monitor your progress and any side effects.
