- Abstract
The article focuses on nonadjuvant therapy and gastric cancer. Although the incidence of gastric cancer is declining in the United States, approximately 1 million new cases will be diagnosed worldwide this year with over 700,000 deaths, resulting in a disease-related mortality of nearly 75%. Because peritoneal dissemination is a common mode of spread of gastric cancer, staging laparoscopy should be considered in patients undergoing neoadjuvant therapy. From a radiation oncologist's perspective, treatment of gastric cancer patients in the neoadjuvant setting may enhance the accurate identification of the stomach and primary tumor, as well as perigastric and regional nodal basins.
