With the development of specialized gastric cancer oncology, multidisciplinary treatment(MDT) model has been widely accepted and implemented. Reasonable combination of comprehensive therapy and individualized treatment can really benefit patients, but its premise is comprehensive and detailed assessment of the tumor. We must pay more attention to the standardized oncologic assessment of gastric cancer prior to starting therapy, including staging, resectability assessment, and the pathological and molecular features.
