Article Title: | Randomized clinical trials in gastric cancer |
Abstract: | Minimally invasive resection has emerged as a surgical technique for gastric cancer, and there has been continued investigation to determine the appropriate extent of lymphadenectomy in gastric cancer patients. There has also been significant progress in evaluating the role of chemotherapeutic regimens used in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings for patients with resectable disease. We also summarize a selection of RCT trials focused on the perioperative care of the gastric cancer patient. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
