The field of gastric cancer surgery is a complex and evolving one, with a growing recognition of the importance of precision surgery in the management of this disease. The intricate interplay of molecular subtypes in gastric cancer has highlighted the need for more refined surgical and perioperative strategies. Furthermore, the integration of innovative techniques with emerging surgical platforms is transforming the treatment paradigm for patients. However, the intersection of precision medicine with the definition of metastatic disease is a relatively new development, and there is a need for further investigation and understanding in this area.
The aim of this Research Topic is to highlight significant advancements in the field of precision surgery for gastric cancer, with a focus on enhancing patient outcomes. The research will delve into the molecular landscape of gastric cancer to understand its distinctive features and how these can inform precision surgery and perioperative treatments. It will also explore the evolving landscape of gastric cancer surgery, investigating the advantages and disadvantages of various surgical techniques and interventions. Furthermore, the research will investigate the concept of conversion surgery for metastatic gastric cancer, addressing the timing for surgical intervention and exploring patient cohorts that may benefit from curative-intent resection post-chemotherapy response.
The scope of this Research Topic encompasses the molecular complexities of gastric cancer, the evolving surgical techniques and interventions, and the concept of conversion surgery for metastatic disease. We welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• The molecular landscape of gastric cancer and its implications for precision surgery;
• The advantages and disadvantages of various surgical techniques and interventions;
• The concept of conversion surgery for metastatic gastric cancer;
• The potential benefits of curative-intent resection post-chemotherapy response for selected patient cohorts.
Keywords:
Gastric Cancer, Precision Surgery, Molecular Subtypes, Minimally Invasive Surgery, Conversion Surgery
Important Note:
All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
