Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to analyze the impact of different durations of neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy on tumor regression and safety in patients with advanced gastric cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the duration of neoadjuvant treatment influence tumor regression grading (TRG)? * How does treatment duration affect perioperative safety and clinical outcomes? Participants who have previously undergone neoadjuvant PD-1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy followed by surgery as part of their routine medical care will have their clinical data retrospectively reviewed and analyzed.
Interventions
Any PD-1 inhibitors combined with any chemotherapy regimen given before surgery for no more than 4 cycles
Any PD-1 inhibitors combined with any chemotherapy regimen given before surgery for no less than 5 cycles
Any type of surgical procedure for gastric adenocarcinoma patients in which part or all of the stomach is removed

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Non-bedridden patients aged 18-90 years; * Histologically confirmed gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma by biopsy; * Evaluated as resectable advanced gastric cancer via CT, MRI, or laparoscopic exploration; * No prior anti-tumor treatments such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy; * No history of other malignancies within the past 5 years; * Received at least one cycle of PD-1 inhibitor combined with chemotherapy preoperatively, with no restrictions on the specific PD-1 inhibitor or chemotherapeutic agents; * Underwent radical gastrectomy after neoadjuvant therapy; * No severe underlying diseases.
Exclusion criteria
* Incomplete or inaccessible clinical and pathological data; * Postoperative pathology confirming non-gastric or non-gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma; * Distant metastases present prior to treatment; * Concurrent diagnosis of other malignancies.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Tumor Regression Grading (TRG) | Approximately 1 week after surgery (when the pathology examination report available) | Tumor Regression Grading (TRG) based on the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guidelines ranging from 0 (no residual tumor) to 3 (extensive residual tumor cells with no or minimal tumor cell necrosis), with higher scores indicating worse outcomes |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| R0 resection | Approximately 1 week after surgery (when the pathology examination report available) | Complete removal of a tumor with no residual cancer cells at the surgical margins, confirmed by pathological examination |
| Operative time | On the day of the surgery (can be obtained immediately after the completion of the surgery) | The total duration of a surgical procedure, measured from the first incision to the completion of wound closure |
| Time to first flatus | From date of surgery until the date of first flatus, assessed up to 10 days post-surgery | The duration from the completion of surgery to the first passing of gas (flatus) by the patient |
| Safety | From the start of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to 7 days after surgery | Adverse events during neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative complications |
| YpTNM staging | Approximately 1 week after surgery (when the pathology examination report available) | Pathological classification used to assess cancer characteristics after neoadjuvant therapy, based on the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Cancer Staging Manual 8th Edition. |
| Dissected lymph node number | Approximately 1 week after surgery (when the pathology examination report available) | The total number of lymph nodes surgically removed and examined |
| Positive lymph node number | Approximately 1 week after surgery (when the pathology examination report available) | The number of lymph nodes found to contain cancer cells upon pathological examination |
| Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) | Approximately 1 week after completing all neoadjuvant therapy | The Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) is a scale used to assess the nutritional risk of hospitalized patients. The score ranges from 0 to 7, with higher scores indicating a higher risk of malnutrition. A score of 0 signifies no nutritional risk, while a score of 3 or higher indicates a significant nutritional risk that may require intervention. |
