Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world and is a leading cause of cancer death. Surgical treatment remains the best treatment option for potential cure and can be beneficial in the palliation of advanced disease. Several neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens have been recently evaluated as potential adjuncts to surgery. This review describes the current role of surgical therapy in staging, resection, and palliation of gastric cancer.Entities:
