Abstract
In recent years, advances in surgical techniques and evolving concepts have significantly improved treatment strategies and prognosis for patients with gastric cancer liver metastases. In particular, patients diagnosed with initially resectable gastric cancer liver metastases shows marked improvement in survival. Despite variations in the definition of initially resectable gastric cancer liver metastases among different consensus and guidelines, surgical resection and hepatic physiotherapy are increasingly crucial components of comprehensive treatment. Meanwhile, the advancement of the multidisciplinary team model for diagnosis and treatment, along with the evolution of minimally invasive surgical concepts, offers patients increasingly personalized and less intrusive therapeutic alternatives. According to the Chinese Consensus Classification System for Gastric Cancer Liver Metastasis, the optimal clinical pathway for patients initially diagnosed with resectable gastric cancer liver metastasis involves precise categorization, guided selection of surgical approaches and physiotherapy using the multidisciplinary team model, and consideration of molecular classification. However, the refinement and confirmation of these clinical strategies is still required through high-quality clinical trials.
