FUTURE PROSPECTS
Beyond the scope of this view are many promising new directions for prevention and treatment of peritoneal
metastases from gastric cancer. Targeted therapies may be of great value for subsets of patients, such as
[76]
those who are HER2-positive (ToGA Study) . Also, pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy may
substitute for NIPS in preparing patients for subsequent potentially curative resection of all clinically evident
[77]
disease . As these new treatments develop controlled trials comparing the new strategies will be necessary.
