Abstract
During the past decades, despite considerable improvements in the management of gastric cancer, surgery reamains the main curative treatment. However, there is still debate about the extent of gastrectomy and lymphadenectomy, multivisceral resection, the requirement for reoperation for specimens with positive margins, the selection of neoadjuvant treatment and the management strategy of early gastric cancer.
