Radical surgery is considered the cornerstone for any curative procedure, however only a relatively small proportion of resected cases can be considered cured after surgery. In the last few years research data suggested that advanced gastric cancer can be classified into 2 distinct clinical categories: locally advanced (nonmetastatic, non resectable) and metastatic. While the therapeutic goal in the metastatic setting is palliation and survival improvement, in locally advanced cases one of the main goals of the treatment should be response with the aim to make resectable what was unresectable. The introduction of docetaxel for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer represented then a crucial step forward for the cure of this disease with an improvement in both survival and response rate.
