Core Tip	Laparoscopic treatment of gastrointestinal malignancies requires more caution and deep analysis of published evidences, as compared to those achieved for benign diseases. Oncologic outcomes remain the foundation of any procedures to cure malignancies, hence a long-term follow-up is always recommendable in order to asses overall survival, cancer-free survival and quality of life.
