Abstract:
Gastric cancers are heterogeneous. There are important differences between gastric and junctional tumors and a focus on evidence based on true gastric cancers is important to guide treatment decision and the design of innovative strategies. We present key evidence shaping the current use of radiotherapy, discuss technical radiotherapy considerations that are important to consider in multidisciplinary decision-making, and highlight selected research strategies including radiotherapeutic advances, theranostic approaches and key ongoing clinical trials to watch that will shape the role of radiotherapy in gastric cancers for the future.

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...
