title: Chemotherapy in gastric cancer.
abstract: Although treatment of gastric cancer has improved substantially during the last decade there is still controversy about the best way and sequence of treatment. An early interdisciplinary treatment plan is mandatory before therapy is started. In this multidisciplinary expert statement we review current literature and give treatment recommendations for neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and palliative treatment of gastric cancer.
