Abstract

Adjuvant chemoradiotherapy (CRT) improves the survival in patients with locally advanced stomach cancer. The kidneys are the major dose-limiting organs for radiotherapy (RT) in upper abdominal cancers. We aimed to evaluate the impact of adjuvant CRT on renal function of patients with stomach cancer.
