Purpose: Time to initiation and completion of adjuvant therapy are critical to improve postoperative oncologic outcomes. This study aims to determine whether an Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathway for gastric cancer surgery promotes early Return to Intended Oncologic Therapy (RIOT).
Methods: This is a before-after intervention study including patients with gastric adenocarcinoma who underwent surgery from January 2016 to January 2021.
