Core Tip It is necessary to consider multimodality treatment, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery, to improve current results of gastric cancer treatment. Recent clinical trials have shown survival benefit combining different neoadjuvant or adjuvant protocols compared with curative surgery. Furthermore, the implementation of chemotherapy with novel targeted agents could play an important role in the multimodal management of advanced gastric cancer. In this paper, we focus on a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of gastric cancer and discuss future strategies to improve the outcome for these patients.
