No Survival Gain With Preoperative CRT Plus Perioperative Chemo for Gastric Cancer
Preoperative chemoradiotherapy did not improve survival over perioperative chemotherapy alone in resectable gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, according to TOPGEAR data. Median overall survival was 46.4 months vs 49.4 months, with no significant differences in progression-free survival. However, preoperative chemoradiotherapy significantly improved pathological outcomes, including complete response rates and tumor downstaging.
