Mr Mohammed Asif Chaudry qualified from Oxford University with distinction in 1999. His subsequent training in GI and Oesophagogastric Cancer Surgery was at various centres of excellence in London such as St Mark’s Hospital, Barts and The Royal London, University College London and finally The Royal Marsden. His training had a particular focus on a minimally invasive, laparoscopic approach. Upon gaining his CCT he undertook Senior Fellowships at St Thomas’s Hospital with an additional focus on complex open revisional Upper GI surgery. This was followed by international laparoscopic and robotic training at the Seoul National University Hospital in South Korea, the highest volume gastric cancer centre internationally and in Japan. He returned to The Royal Marsden as a Consultant and has a focused high-volume, minimally invasive and open oesophageal and gastric cancer practice dealing with complex cases. He is a founding member of the European Gastric Cancer Association and has an active interest in translational research at the ICR and Biomedical Research Centre. He has publications in high impact factor journals and a number of books published by Oxford University Press.

Does surgery have a role in managing incurable gastric cancer?
Although the incidence of gastric cancer is decreasing, the outcomes of this disease are among the poorest of all solid-organ tumours, predominantly due to the frequent presence of stage IV metastatic disease at primary presentation. Stage IV gastric cancer is incurable and carries a very poor prognosis (5-year survival rate of ∼4%); palliative chemotherapy remains the standard of care, but increasing evidence indicates that palliative surgery can provide a prognostic and symptomatic benefit, particularly in combination with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Ongoing prospective trials should further clarify the efficacy of palliative surgery in comparison with other treatment modalities. Until such data are available, surgery should not be offered as a standard first-line treatment, but can be considered in selected cases after thorough multidisciplinary discussions involving the patient. Patient selection for both gastrectomy and nonresectional surgery must include consideration of various factors that predict quality of life after surgery. This Perspectives summarizes the available evidence and discusses the utility of palliative surgery in relation to other therapeutic modalities in the management of incurable gastric cancer.
