- Abstract
The article presents a study which hypothesized that presurgical (postCTRT) stage would also correlate better with patient outcome than the baseline stage for localized gastric cancer. Patients in the study were staged with baseline endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and laparoscopy and they received induction chemotherapy, then CTRT (45 Gy), and had an attempted surgery. The study found that thirty-five had all 3 sets of staging, baseline, presurgical, and postsurgical.
