Abstract

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) have shown poor effectiveness in treating peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) of gastric origin with a high tumor burden (high peritoneal cancer index), though there are scarce therapy alternatives that are able to improve survival. In experimental studies, chimeric antigen receptor-T (CAR-T) cell therapy has shown encouraging results in gastric cancer and is currently being evaluated in several clinical trials. Regarding PC, CAR-T cell therapy has also proven useful in experimental studies, especially when administered intraperitoneally, as this route improves cell distribution and lifespan. Although these results need to be supported by ongoing clinical trials, CAR-T cells are a promising new therapeutic approach to peritoneal metastases from gastric cancer. In this review, we summarize the current evidence of the use of CAR-T cells in gastric cancer and PC of gastric origin.
