A Randomised, Controlled Trial of Pre- and Post-Operative Chemotherapy in Patients with Operable Gastric and Lower Oesophageal Cancer.

Schema

schema: MAGIC ST02

Summary

Surgery is the standard treatment for cancers of the stomach (gastric) and lower oesophagus (gullet) that can be removed with an operation, but the cancer often comes back (recurs) despite the best surgery. This trial will determine if adding chemotherapy two months before and two months after surgery improves recurrence and cure rates.
