Gastric cancer has a poor outcome
•
Despite adequate surgery (D2; ≥15 ln), local-regional recurrence rates

- post-operative chemoradiation (SWOG/US)
Summary (1): general
- peri-operative chemotherapy (MAGIC/EU)
- adjuvant chemotherapy (ARTIST, CLASSIC/Asia)

and post-operative chemoradiation after adequate surgery and pre-
operative chemotherapy
