Benefit of Adjuvant Chemoradiotherapy for Gastric Adenocarcinoma: A SEER Population Analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: This large SEER database analysis showed that stage I patients benefited most from surgery alone, whereas those at more advanced stages benefited most from adjuvant radiotherapy with chemotherapy. This result is consistent with INT-0116 for gastric adenocarcinoma in support of trimodality therapy and is reflected by the increased fraction of patients receiving chemotherapy and adjuvant radiation.
