“…Laparoscopy was found to identify hepatic metastases too small to be seen on conventional CT [1]. A small advance in hepatic paren- chymal evaluation took place as biopsy forceps were introduced through a 5-ml trochar and used to directly sample the liver.…”

“…Hasta el momento, los tratamientos neoadyuvantes no han demostrado un incremento significativo en la supervivencia en el cáncer gástrico, aunque se siguen investigando diversos protocolos [9][10][11] . Otro de los problemas en el cáncer gás-trico es la limitada sensibilidad de los métodos de diagnóstico por imagen de los que disponemos 6 y el elevado número de laparotomías innecesarias practicadas [12][13][14][15] .
