Core Tip There is still no consensus on the utility, frequency and regimen of follow-up after curative resection for gastric cancer. Surveillance programs may allow the following: (1) the early diagnosis of recurrence; (2) the detection of adverse effects of a previous surgery; (3) the collection of data; and (4) the detection of psychological and social problems. This editorial discusses the main studies, systematic reviews and guidelines on this subject. Several studies have demonstrated that patients may be stratified according to the risk of recurrence. A promising strategy will be to tailor follow-up in relation to the patient and tumor characteristics, molecular marker status, and individual risk of recurrence.
