Core Tip

Core tip: Gastric cancer (GC) treatment is controversy, particularly between Asia and Western countries. In this paper, we have performed a systematic and up-to-date review of resectable GC treatment strategies and discussed different treatment options. We have also discribed ongoing clinical randomized phase 3 trials and future directions in GC treatment.
