Management of Gastric CancerNeal Wilkinson, MD, Guest Editor
Gastric cancer is a fascinating topic for in-depth review and detailed study. Gastric cancer remains far from eradicated despite declining global and national trends. The literature today still poses numerous conflicting trials and clinical recommendations. What are the screening indications and staging studies required to diagnose and treat gastric cancer? What neoplasms comprise the spectrum of gastric cancer at the national and international level and how do these differences impact our understanding of the published literature? What is the optimal surgical approach to this disease: role of minimally invasive staging and resection; the benefit of standard or extended lymphadenectomy? What is the role of adjuvant therapy and what is the optimal sequencing of care? The authors have each been selected and tasked with tackling difficult questions that the practicing surgeon encounters.
