PY - 2018 T2 - Textbook of Complex General Surgical Oncology AB - Several bodies of evidence both from the West and the East currently recommend that some form of adjuvant therapy should be delivered in addition to surgery in patients with potentially curable advanced gastric cancer. Progress in surgical technique to dissect cancer with wide resection margin may have reached a plateau,1 and development of perioperative adjuvant therapy is the only way to improve the outcome. This chapter describes the history and recent advances in the multimodality treatment in the Far East where the incidence of this disease remains high.
