Chemoradiotherapy, Adjuvant, Radiotherapy, Intensity-Modulated, Stomach Neoplasms
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this phase II trial was to evaluate the feasibility, efficacy and tolerability of intensity-modulated radiotherapy combined with S-1 based chemotherapy in patients with pathologically positive lymph node after completely resected gastric cancer. Furthermore, the investigators sought to compare the dosimetric differences between the volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), Tomotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques in treatment planning for gastric cancer as adjuvant radiotherapy.
Interventions
A total irradiation dose of 45 Gy was delivered in daily 1.8-Gy fractions (5 days a week over 5 weeks) to all patients.
S-1,80mg/m2/d,peroral BID,in treatment days concurrently with intensity-modulated radiotherapy.
