Description
Joji Kitayama, writing alone in 2026, reviews chemotherapy given by catheter into the abdomen for stomach cancer that has spread across the peritoneal lining. This spread pattern is the most common and most harmful in gastric cancer. Sparse blood supply and a barrier between abdomen and bloodstream limit systemic drugs, while surgical heated chemotherapy methods are harsh and narrow.
The other route uses a fitted port to give dose after dose of chemotherapy at body temperature into the abdomen, mainly in East Asia. Lasting local exposure comes with modest procedural burden and combines readily with whole-body treatment. Taxane drugs suit the route because they linger in the abdomen and enter blood slowly. The review covers drug reasoning, medical evidence, and coming new ideas in mixing and delivery.
