TY - JOUR AU - Kinami, Shinichi PY - 2019 TI - Pre-operative chemotherapy is the key to the next stage of gastric cancer treatment JF - Digestive Medicine Research; Vol 2 (December 2019): Digestive Medicine Research Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Currently, surgery remains the only approach to cure gastric cancer. However, improvement of prognosis by surgical resection alone is limited, and peri-operative chemotherapy is necessary (1). In recent years, several large clinical trials have shown the effectiveness of adjuvant post-operative chemotherapy for gastric cancer (2-4). In contrast, the usefulness of adjuvant pre-operative chemotherapy has not been fully demonstrated. UR - https://dmr.amegroups.org/article/view/5490
