Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the stomach or esophagogastric junction who are receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radical gastrectomy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with insufficient data or those whose tumor lesions cannot be distinguished on CT images or pathological slides will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to create a multimodal model that combines radiomic and pathomic features to predict the pathological complete response (pCR) in patients with advanced gastric cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Researchers will collect pre-treatment CT images and pathological slides, extract relevant features, and utilize machine learning algorithms to develop a predictive model. The goal is to enhance prediction accuracy by integrating both radiomic and pathomic data, and the model will be validated with a separate patient cohort.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more accurate predictions of treatment responses, allowing for personalized treatment plans for gastric cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: While the integration of radiomic and pathomic features is a novel approach, similar studies have shown promise in improving predictive models for cancer treatment responses.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * patients with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the stomach or esophagogastric junction who received NAC and radical gastrectomy; * patients who underwent abdominal multidetector computed tomography (CT) inspection, gastroscope, and tumor tissue biopsy before any intervention started; * Lesions that are assessable according to The Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with indistinguishable tumor lesions on the CT images due to insufficient filling of the stomach during the CT inspection; * patients without indistinguishable tumor cell on the pathological slides due to inadequate sampling; * patients with insufficient data.
