Abstract

Post-operative concomitant chemoradiotherapy is now a standard of care for locally advanced gastric carcinomas. Definition of target volumes is based on natural history of the disease and on analysis of the sites of local relapses. This paper summarized the general principles of target delineation, in a conformal approach.
