Patients will undergo surgery to excise as many gastric tumors as possible, then will receive intraperitoneal HIPEC with cisplatin 90 mg/m2 plus mitomycin C 10 mg/m2 over 90 minutes. Sodium thiosulfate continuous intravenous infusion will be initiated directly before chemotherapy and continued for 12 hours.

The primary outcome is median survival after surgery.

The estimated study enrollment is 40 patients.
