Excerpt

Gastrectomy with D2 lymphadenectomy with or without adjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer is a standard treatment strategy in eastern Asia. However, patients’ prognosis of novel therapeutic strategy for locally advanced gastric cancer have been shown to have further reformability than standard D2 gastrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy. In Japan, postoperative S-1 monotherapy for 1 year or capecitabine plus oxaliplatin for 6 months have been recognized for national insurance as standard therapy, and the selection of these two regimens for postoperative therapy is entrusted for the physicians. It has been widely considered that neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has several advantages over adjuvant settings in Japan. However, NAC has very limited evidence in Japan.1
