In gastric cancer, occult peritoneal disease may be present in up to 20% of cases, limiting the benefits of surgical resection.

While radiotherapy has traditionally been regarded as the cornerstone for achieving improved local control in rectal cancer, it is accompanied by a range of associated complications, including bowel and bladder dysfunction, gonadal ablation, and Low Anterior Resection Syndrome. De-escalation of treatment is undoubtedly beneficial for many patients, and this approach should be tailored to consider their expectations while prioritizing patient care in decision-making.
