Abstract:
Gastric cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths worldwide. The overall 5-year survival rate in the United States and most of the Western World ranges from 5 to 15%. The only potentially curative treatment for localized gastric cancer is complete surgical resection. Meta-analyses of adjuvant systemic chemotherapy in gastric cancer have shown at best marginal benefits, neoadjuvant chemotherapy and chemoradiotherapy are also feasible and are the subject of several ongoing studies. In metastatic disease, chemotherapy confers benefit when compared with best supportive care alone. This review will focus on the several treatment modalities available for gastric cancer patients: surgery, adjuvant, neoadjuvant and palliative chemotherapy as well as new target agents.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
