Abstract:
With the deep understanding of gastric cancer and the development of new technology, various comprehensive treatment modes for different stages of gastric cancer have been widely recognized. Endoscopic technology represented by endoscopic submucosal dissection is an important method for diagnosis of gastric cancer and treatment for early gastric cancer. Surgical operation is the preferred treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer, mainly including total gastrectomy, distal gastrectomy, pylorus preserving gastrectomy, proximal gastrectomy and the corresponding regional lymph node dissection. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy play important roles in preoperative and post-operative adjuvant therapy of gastric cancer, while the role of radiotherapy needs to be further observed. In recent years, targeted therapy represented by trastuzumab which is positive for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 and immunotherapy represented by programmed death-1 inhibitors have made important progress in the treatment of gastric cancer. However, they need to be further proved to become the first-line treatment for gastric cancer. The authors believe that with more research results of gastric cancer, the comprehensive treatment of gastric cancer will be more diversified, which will make the treatment of gastric cancer individualized and accurate and finally benefit more patients.
