Gastrectomy for gastric cancer: defining critical elements of patient selection and outcome assessment.
In advanced gastric cancer, palliation of symptoms, rather than cure, is often the most appropriate goal of patient management. There are important differences among patients undergoing non-curative operations for gastric cancer. The literature to date is limited, in part, by imprecise use of the term palliative.

Studies designed to measure palliative interventions would benefit from precise designations of palliative intent inpatients receiving non-curative operations.
