Combination of Surgery With Extensive Intraoperative Peritoneal Lavage for Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer

To the Editor The article by Guo et al presents initial findings for the SEIPLUS study, a randomized clinical trial exploring the value of extensive intraoperative peritoneal lavage (EIPL) for treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer. As highlighted by Levine in an accompanying Invited Commentary, the accrual for this trial occurred during a remarkably short period, and EIPL appears to be a simple, safe, and low-cost method to decrease the peritoneal metastases rates.
