Core Tip	Despite recent advances in cancer therape­utics, the survival of gastric cancer patients with met­astatic disease is dismal due to the complexity of the disease, the constant evolution of tumors and our still limited understanding of its biology. It is evident that a wide spectrum of prognostic and predictive biomarke­rs is needed in order to rationalize our decisions when managing patients with this specific tumor type and ta­ilor our treatment to suit better the individual patient’s unique needs.
