Clinical Efficacy in Neoadjuvant Treatment of Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer With Different Immunotypes

Background: At present, there is still a lack of prospective data to systematically compare the clinical efficacy of different neoadjuvant therapies in patients with different genotypes. To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of albumin paclitaxel combined with carrelizumab compared with FLOT neoadjuvant therapy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer of different immune types.

Methods: This study is a multi center prospective study. 216 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma were included in the study to explore the proportion of PD-L1 positive cells in tumor tissue, evaluate the expression of PD-L1, serum HBV DNA level or other biomarkers.
