AFP-positive gastric cancer had more aggressive behavior than that of AFP-negative gastric cancer. In addition to surgery, multimodal therapy should be considered.

Simultaneous resection is safe and efficient in the treatment of patients with SCLM while avoiding a second major operation. In appropriately selected patients, simultaneous resection might be considered as the preferred treatment. Since heterogeneity was detected, caution is needed in interpretation of the results. Better designed, adequately powered studies are required for addressing this issue.
