GroupInterventionDescription
Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NCT)SurgeryNCT arm consists of neoadjuvant three cycles of SOX(S-1: 40\~60mg, orally twice daily on days 1 to 14, oxaliplatin 130mg/m2 intravenously on day 1, 21 days per cycle followed by radical surgery and another postoperative three cycles of SOX.
Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy (NCRT)SOXNCRT arm receives intensity-modulated radiotherapy with a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB-IMRT) (45.1Gy and 40.04Gy in 22 fractions) concurrently with oral S-1(40mg/m2, orally twice daily every weekday) followed by surgery and four to six cycles of SOX at the same dosage with NCT arm.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
R0 resection rate2-3 months

The surgical procedure was total or subtotal gastrectomy with recommended D2 lymphadenectomy 4-6 weeks after neoadjuvant therapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pathological response rate2-3 months

Pathological response were classified into three grades.Grade I signifies that there is little shrinkage in the tumor; only mild regression in the tumor cells is observed under themicroscope. Grade II shows gross reduction in size of the tumor and marked regression in the cancer cells microscopically, yet viable nests of cancer tissue are still visible. Grade III implies complete or almost total resolution of the tumor on exploration, and disappearance of the tumor tissue microscopically; only remnants of degenerated cancer cells can be seen (so-called ghost cancer cells).

Tumor down-staging2-3 months

Down-staging was considered as any stage reduction between clinical and pathologic stage.

Acute chemotherapy/Chemoradiotherapy toxicities6-8 months

chemotherapy toxicities are evaluated by NCI-CTC version 4.0 and radiotherapy toxicities are graded using the RTOG/EORTC Radiation Morbidity Scoring Schema.

Locoregional recurrence free survival3 years
Overall survival3 years
Postoperative complications2-3 months

During hospital stay and within the first 30 days after completion of surgery.

Distant metastasis free survival3 years
