Abstract:
According to the medical history,imaging and pathological diagnosis,the advanced gastric cancer patients able to tolerate radiotherapy can be divided into the following three groups:(1) unresectable locally advanced or locally recurrent disease;(2) metastatic disease at primary diagnosis with stage Ⅳ;(3) patients experiencing severe tumor-related clinical symptoms.The role of palliative radiotherapy in patients with advanced gastric cancer would be discussed by reviewing 33 articles (8 in last five years,13 in ten years).
