Abstract:
Based on the four major classic studies of perioperative treatment of locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC), the North American Intergroup-0116 trial, the European MRC MAGIC trial, the Japan ACTS-GC trial and Korea-China CLASSIC trial, the perioperative therapy of LAGC was divided into three major patterns in the world, namely, postoperative adjuvant chemoradiotherapy in the North America, perioperative chemotherapy in the Europe and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in the East Asia. In recent years, scholars around the world have done many researches on the perioperative treatment of gastric cancer. For instance the German FLOT4-AIO trial pushed the perioperative chemotherapy of gastric cancer to a high point, so the NCCN guide changed perioperative chemotherapy to the preferred recommendation, and rewrote the perioperative chemotherapy regimen. The ARTIST trial in Korea showed that the addition of radiotherapy to the adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 radical resection of gastric cancer could not improve the overall survival rate, and further defined adjuvant chemotherapy as the standard treatment in D2 resection of gastric cancer. Asian scholars are actively exploring the application of perioperative chemotherapy in LAGC. For Bulky N cases, neoadjuvant chemotherapy has been recommended as the standard treatment in the Japanese guidelines. The JOCG1509,the RESOLVE and other studies will provide more effective evidence-based recommendations for the best perioperative therapy options of LAGC in Asian countries. At present, it is not clear whether perioperative chemotherapy or postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is better. In this article, the development course of the three patterns of perioperative therapy of gastric cancer, the research progress in the perioperative period of gastric cancer in recent years, and the changes of guidelines are reviewed in order to provide reference for clinical practice.
