Core Tip	The laparoscopic practice for gastric cancer is growing worldwide; primarily for distal early tumours and to a lesser extent for advanced and/or proximal lesions. The supporting evidence for the extent of the resection and the minimally invasive approach has yet to become conclusive. In view of these limitations and the future perspectives, the current status of laparoscopic surgery in the treatment of gastric cancer is presented herein.
