The prognostic role of radiotherapy in non-surgical gastric cancer: a retrospective cohort study in the SEER database
In this SEER-based analysis, RT was associated with reduced OS in patients with non-surgical gastric cancer. The SEER database's lack of treatment intent and symptom data precludes causal interpretation. RT remains clinically relevant for symptom control, and individualized decision-making is paramount. Prospective studies distinguishing curative versus palliative RT are warranted.
