Background and Objectives To identify clinicopathologic variables that could predict pathologic tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Methods: The study enrolled 108 patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery between July 2004 and December 2010. Tumor responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy were assessed in terms of tumor regression. Statistical analyses were performed to identify factors associated with pathologic tumor response. Results: Tumor regression was found in 22.2% (24/108) patients, patients with tumor regression observed better overall survival as compared to that of patients without tumor regression. Univariate and multivariate analyses observed that both tumor differentiation and tumor size were independent predictors of tumor regression. Conclusions: This study suggests that both tumor differentiation and tumor size is the most important clinical predicator of pathologic tumor response, it may be of benefit in the selection of treatment options in locally advanced gastric cancer.
