This is a prospective, single centre, non-randomised, open-label pilot trial evaluating the addition of PIPAC to the standard multimodal treatment pathway. Patients will undergo standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy with four cycles of fluorouracil, leucovorin, oxaliplatin and docetaxel (FLOT), then PIPAC, followed by gastrectomy. Four cycles of FLOT will be administered post-surgery. Primary outcome is safety and feasibility, assessed by perioperative morbidity and possible interruptions of the standard multimodal treatment pathway.
