Core Tip	Combining multidetector computed tomography and gastrointestinal endoscopy significantly improves diagnostic performance for gastric cancer screening, preoperative T and N staging, and lymph node metastasis detection compared with either modality alone. The combined approach demonstrates superior sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy, offering greater concordance with postoperative pathological findings. This integrative strategy supports more informed clinical decision-making and optimized preoperative planning.
