With the proven overall benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer, there has come a need to discriminate responders from non-responders. In this article, the current role of anatomical and molecular imaging in the prediction of response to neoadjuvant therapy in gastric cancer is outlined and future prospects are discussed.
鉴于新辅助化疗对局部晚期胃癌患者已证实的总体益处,区分反应者与无反应者变得很有必要。本文概述了解剖学和分子成像在预测胃癌新辅助治疗反应中的当前作用,并讨论了未来前景。
