A prospective, opened, multicentric, randomised, phase III trial with two arms:
- Arm A: curative gastrectomy with D1-D2 lymph node dissection + HIPEC with oxaliplatin
- Arm B: curative gastrectomy with D1-D2 lymph node dissection
Main objective: Compare overall 5-year survival rates in patients surgically treated for advanced gastric adenocarcinoma (T3, T4 and/or N+ and/or with positive peritoneal cytology), treated either with curative gastrectomy and adjuvant HIPEC, or with curative gastrectomy alone.

Experimental: Curative Gastrectomy + HIPEC
Curative gastrectomy with D1-D2 lymph node dissection + HIPEC with oxaliplatin
|
Drug: HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemoperfusion) with oxaliplatin
After the D2 resection is complete HIPEC can start. A roller pump forces the chemotherapy solution (oxaliplatin 250 mg/m² with 2 Liters of G5%/m²) into the abdomen through the inflow catheter and pulls it out through the drains. A heat exchanger keeps the intraperitoneal fluid at 42°-43°C. Procedure: Curative gastrectomy All the patients will undergo a D1-D2 gastrectomy carried out according to Japanese guidelines and to the European recommendations for the preservation of spleen and pancreas |
