The survival benefit of palliative gastrectomy and/or metastasectomy in gastric cancer patients with synchronous metastasis: a population-based study using propensity score matching and coarsened exact matching

Conclusions: Gastrectomy plus metastasectomy or gastrectomy alone could be adopted as a choice of improving survival in the U.S population. Metastasectomy alone is not generally recommended.
