Core Tip	Gastric cancer with extensive lymph node metastasis (ELM) is usually considered unresectable and associated with poor outcomes. Phase Ⅱ studies of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery have shown the efficacy of this multimodal therapy for this pathology, but many clinical questions remain unresolved, including the criteria for diagnosing ELM, optimal regime, number of courses and extent of lymph node dissection.
