Summary

For patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, systemic anti-tumor therapy remains the mainstay of treatment. Combining chemotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors has gradually become the standard first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Radiotherapy can enhance the release of tumor-associated antigens, thereby improving the responsiveness of MSS/pMMR tumors to PD-1 inhibitors. Tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) are key sites for the anti-tumor activity of PD-1 blockade; however, radiation-induced damage and fibrosis may impair lymphatic drainage and local immune responses. Previous studies have suggested that irradiation of the primary tumor combined with immune checkpoint blockade can produce an abscopal effect, mediating regression of distant metastases. This study aims to evaluate whether node-sparing modified short-course radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy and PD-1 blockade can improve 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Node-Sparing Radiotherapy plus first-line therapy

Patients will receive node-sparing modified short-course radiotherapy, followed by standard first-line chemotherapy combined with a PD-1 inhibitor starting 2-5 days after radiotherapy. Treatment will continue until disease progression or the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity.
