For quite a long time, treatment progress was slow and stood in sharp contrast to the advances seen in lung cancer, colon cancer, and melanoma. However, a large reason for this slow progression was the reluctance of researchers to boldly apply the most advanced scientific concepts and technology to its treatment. With the vision of an emerging era of precise medicine, this book is based on the author’s perception of both clinical experience and the most up-to-date scientific research. In so doing, the book describes and comments on the four fields most likely to significantly improve the therapeutic efficacy of gastric cancer treatment: personalized therapy, precision regional therapy, immunotherapy, and nanomedicine. The first part of the book elaborates on personalized therapy in the treatment of gastric cancer. A comprehensive review is made from relevant aspects of molecular patholo
