Gastric adenocarcinoma, a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, is treated primarily with surgical resection in the non-metastatic setting. However, the optimal role and sequencing of adjunctive therapies, including radiotherapy (RT) as well as systemic therapy, remains unclear. A complex milieu of trials spanning several decades has evaluated different treatment strategies for gastric cancer, including the role of RT. In this review, we summarize the trial-level evidence for the diverse gastric cancer treatment paradigms. Despite initial success, postoperative RT has not shown a clear benefit in modern prospective studies in the setting of more aggressive surgical nodal dissection. On the other hand, the role of preoperative RT in optimizing oncologic outcomes for gastric cancer patients remains relatively underexplored; ongoing trials assessing preoperative RT aim to illuminate the optimal treatment strategy for nonmetastatic gastric cancer patients.
