Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer incidence and death worldwide. Patients with advanced gastric cancer benefit from a multi-modality treatment regimen. Sound oncologic resection with negative margins and complete lymphadenectomy plays a crucial role in long-term survival for patients with resectable disease. The utilization of minimally invasive techniques for gastric cancer has been slowly increasing and is proving to be both technically and oncologically safe. Perioperative chemotherapy is the current standard of care for advanced gastric cancer. A variety of chemotherapy regimens have been used with the combination of docetaxel, oxaliplatin, 5-fluorouracil, and leucovorin being the current recommendation given its superior ability to induce a complete pathologic response and prolong survival. The use of radiation has been more controversial with its optimal place in the treatment sequence being unclear. There are current ongoing studies assessing the impact of radiation as an adjunct or in place of chemotherapy. Targeted treatments ( e.g ., trastuzumab for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 positive tumors and pembrolizumab for programmed death-ligand 1 positive tumors) are showing promise and are part of a continued emphasis on individualized care. Intraperitoneal chemotherapy may also play a role in preventing peritoneal recurrences for patients with high risk lesions. The treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer in the West continues to advance and improve with a better understanding of optimal treatment sequences and the utilization of personalized treatment regimens.
