Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To asses the R0 [complete microscopic resection ]resection rate in patient with unresectable locally advanced gastric cancer in the setting of preoperative chemoradiotherapy [This will be check on the histopathology specimen retrieve post surgery]Timepoint: This will be checked postoperatively by histopathology within some 1-2 week of surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate the Radiologiocal [after CTRT ] & pathological tumor response rate [post surgery] Timepoint: via RESCIST criteria within 2-3 weeks of preoperative chemoradiotherapy & Histopathological examination with 1-2 weeks of surgery respectively within;2. To assess treatment compliance & toxicity profileTimepoint: Patient will be assessed in weekly basis in OPD as they come of the next cycle & after completion of Chemotherapy & radiotherapy respectively in the respective OPD & in Surgery OPD in 4 weeks time period & will also be told to come in emergency if severe toxicity so developed SOS;3.To assess event free survival, [events are local and/or regional recurrence or progression ,distant recurrence or death from any causeTimepoint: it will be assessed in 6months & 1 year of respective sample collection
