Oncological and surgical knowledge have changed dramatically over the last 25 years.The aim of this book is to offer an essential update regarding current diagnostic approaches and optimal treatment. It gives comprehensive information on gastric cancer, while not neglecting the basic sciences, which can shed light on the carcinogenesis mechanisms involved in this pathology. The principles of tailored and multimodal treatment are examined in accordance with the latest guidelines, providing a valuable synopsis for clinicians.

The book not only reviews what has changed in the field of gastric cancer over the past quarter century but also offers the reader a glimpse of the future by describing ongoing surgical and oncological trials, which focus on new treatment frontiers like immunotherapy and target therapy, and seek to exploit the latest discoveries based on molecular classifications. Further, the book reflects the findings and experiences of Italian experts from the GIRCG (Italian Research Group for Gastric Cancer) and will offer an excellent guide for oncological surgeons in their day-to-day care for patients affected by gastric cancer.
