Abstract    Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in China, which remains in high incidence and mortality. Accurate and reasonable TNM staging system is a prerequisite for the management of gastric cancer. At present, the surgical treatment is still a cure foundation. Meanwhile, perioperative chemotherapy can significantly improve tumor controlling rate and overall survival. Therefore, based on standard surgery, medical experts and scholars are committed to explore new chemotherapy regimens, new radiation therapy technology and reasonable method of new targeted therapy. With the development of research, treatment for gastric cancer will eventually realize standardized and individualized, multidisciplinary treatment mode.
