Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
In this trial, FLOT will be evaluated as therapy option for elderly patients (\>65 years) with advanced gastric cancer in comparison to the well established FLO scheme. The hypothesis is that FLOT is more effective than FLO in elderly patients with acceptable side effects.
