About this Research Topic
Gastric cancer presents a substantial healthcare challenge globally, requiring a multifaceted approach for effective management. Surgery stands as the cornerstone in the management of gastric cancer from a clinical perspective. The recent recognition of the complex interplay of molecular subtypes emphasizes the need for precision surgery, urging a refinement of surgical and perioperative strategies. Furthermore, the integration of innovative techniques with emerging surgical platforms emerges as a transformative pathway, set to redefine the treatment paradigm for gastric cancer patients. Notably, the intersection of precision medicine with the definition of metastatic disease has only recently unfolded, paving the way for increasingly personalized treatments in stage IV gastric cancer.
The primary goal of this research collection is to spotlight significant advancements in the field of precision surgery for gastric cancer. The emphasis lies on key aspects critical for advancing surgical techniques and enhancing patient outcomes. The specific objectives include:
- Delving into the intricate molecular landscape to understand the distinctive features of gastric cancer subtypes. Encouraging submissions that shed light on precision surgery and perioperative treatments tailored to specific molecular subtypes. The aim is to translate genetic and epigenetic findings into actionable information, potentially reshaping the standard of care.
- Highlighting the evolving landscape of gastric cancer surgery, with a focus on elucidating the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical techniques. Contributing to a deeper understanding of optimal surgical interventions related to the stage of disease: from function-preserving gastrectomy, through minimally invasive procedures and new platforms to peritoneal disease treatments.
- Investigating the concept of conversion surgery for metastatic gastric cancer, addressing timing for surgical intervention. Learning from previous experiences, exploring selective patient cohorts that may benefit from curative-intent resection post-chemotherapy response.
This collection serves as a pivotal platform for disseminating high-quality research. Authors are encouraged to contribute to the ongoing enhancement of surgical techniques and unravel the intricate molecular complexities of gastric cancer. Submissions may include but are not limited to original research and reviews.
Manuscripts should aim to provide valuable insights that will contribute to the advancement of precision surgery in gastric cancer, ultimately improving patient outcomes. Please refer to the submission guidelines for detailed instructions on manuscript preparation and submission requirements.
