Özet

Aim: To evaluate the results of postoperative chemoradiotherapy in patients with gastric cancer. Gastric cancer is an important public health problem in Turkey, especially in the eastern Anatolia region. Surgery is the primary modality for managing early-stage disease, but most patients who undergo a curative resection develop locoregional or distant recurrence. Therefore, the administration of adjuvant treatment in gastric cancer has great importance.
