Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Stomach cancer remains a neoplasm with both a high incidence and high mortality. Surgical therapy is an integral part of therapeutics, indispensable in the perspective of a potentially curative course. Gastrectomy combined with lymphadenectomy is a complex intervention, burdened with high morbidity and mortality; however, even in this field, minimally invasive surgical strategies have been developed in recent years, which have helped to standardize the surgical act by setting major morbidity and mortality rates to benchmark values. This Special Issue intends to provide an update of the minimally invasive approach to radical gastrectomy for cancer, comparing techniques and outcomes from East and West; a relevant space will also be reserved for emerging technologies such as fluorescence-guided surgery, robotic surgery, intraoperative integrated treatments with endoscopy, and intraperitoneal chemotherapy.
