Dani Castillo, Medical Oncologist and Researcher in COH, shared Nieves Martinez Lago’s, Specialist in the Field (FEA) of Medical Oncology at University Hospital Complex of Santiago de Compostela, post on X, adding:
“Periscope II should not be interpreted as evidence that regional therapy has no role in GCPM.
It demostrates CRS+ HIPEC did not improve OS without biomarker guided systemic tx alone in unselected population with PCI < 7, diff from piano study, next step should focus on IO and Taget tx ( more effective systemic tx) and translational endpoints that should will benefit.”
Quoting Nieves Martinez Lago’s post:
“PERISCOPE II | Phase III
Gastrectomy + CRS/HIPEC vs ChT alone for limited peritoneal mGC
No OS benefit: 15.7 vs 16.6 months (HR 1.10)
- + grade ≥3 AEs: 42% vs 20%
- TR deaths: 3 vs 0
do not support routine CRS/HIPEC in this setting”
