Abstract
Despite advances in targeted therapies, the prognosis for patients with peritoneal metastases (PM) from gastric cancer remains poor, due to the "blood-peritoneal barrier," which limits delivery of systemically administered drugs to peritoneal lesions. Intraperitoneal (IP) administration of paclitaxel (PTX) offers pharmacokinetic advantages by enhancing drug retention and infiltration in peritoneal lesions. Normothermic intraperitoneal and systemic chemotherapy (NIPS), developed in Japan two decades ago, combines repeated IP infusion of PTX via an intraperitoneal access port with systemic chemotherapy, and is currently regarded as one of the most effective treatment modalities for managing PM from gastric cancer. This review provides an overview of the theoretical rationale and clinical outcomes associated with this treatment strategy.
