Perioperative chemotherapy strategies in diffuse gastric cancer
This study reviews the findings of a recent study by Li <i>et al</i>, which demonstrated that perioperative chemotherapy benefits patients with diffuse-type gastric cancer compared to surgery alone. Despite potential biases, the study supports the inclusion of perioperative chemotherapy in treatment guidelines. Neoadjuvant and adjuvant chemotherapy may also provide similar survival outcomes, allowing for flexible treatment planning.
