Simple technique reduces post-op pain in gastric cancer
Extensive lavage brings unexpected benefits, report researchers
Extensive lavage during resection of peritoneal metastasis from gastric cancer increases safety and reduces short-term complications, a study shows.
Chinese researchers randomly assigned 550 patients with advanced gastric cancer to D2 gastrectomy with or without extensive peritoneal lavage at 11 centres between 2016 and 2017.
