Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the Apatinib can improve the disease free survival (DFS) of gastric cancer patients in stage IIIB/IIIc, who had completed postoprative adjuvant chemotherapy. Meanwhile, the investigators also will evaluate whether the Apatinib can improve the overall survival (OS), estimate the quality of life of patients have taken the Apatinib and monitor the security of Apatinib.

2. Score of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ranges from 0 to 2.
3. All tumor tissues were histologically verified as advanced gastric cancer, and patients with no less than 15 dissected lymph nodes and stage of ⅢB or ⅢC according to TNM, were chosen.
4. Gastric cancer patients underwent the curative gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy.
5. Gastric cancer patients received postoprative adjuvant chemotherapy of eight cycles of Xelox. During the period of chemotherapy, no one relapses. If the patients could well tolerate the adjuvant chemotherapy, it is recommended that patients can obtain maintenance treatment of Apatinib after postoprative adjuvant chemotherapy of eight cycles of Xelox.
6. Previously, patients did not receive the therapy of Apatinib or other VEGFR inhibitor, such as Sorafenib, Sunitinib.
7. The blood examination is normal: neutrophil count≥1.5×109/L；hemoglobin≥80 g/L；blood platelet count≥100×109/L；total bilirubin≤1.5×ULN；ALT、AST≤2.5×ULN；
8. Patients have no serious heart, lung, liver, kidney diseases and jaundice and digestive tract obstruction. Patients have no an acute infection.
