Abstract
Gastric cancer continues to be a significant issue for public health, marked by its widespread occurrence and high mortality rates, even as the incidence of the disease shows a declining trend. The liver is the primary site for metastatic spread, with the peritoneum, lungs, and bones also being common targets. With the advent of biologic treatments and the introduction of immunotherapy for patients with metastatic conditions, the options to treat metastatic gastric cancer have expanded. This diversified therapeutic approach is designed to enhance patient quality of life and prolong survival, showcasing the progress in treatment modalities for individuals with gastric cancer and liver metastases.
