Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy plus postoperative adjuvant XELOX chemotherapy versus postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy with XELOX regimen for local advanced gastric cancer-A randomized, controlled study

CONCLUSIONS: NACRT combined with postoperative adjuvant XELOX chemotherapy can improve R0 resection rate, reduce loco-regional recurrence, prolong PFS and FFLP without increasing the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with LAGC.ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: Compared with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, locally advanced gastric cancer patients may benefit from neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, and toxicity associated with chemoradiotherapy was tolerant and manageable.PMID:34260297 | DOI:10.1259/bjr.20201088
