Hemoglobin level |
Hemoglobin level was related to the response |
[41] |
Lymph node metastasis |
The presence of lymph node metastasis was correlated with NAC Chemosensitivity |
[41] |
Tumor size |
Tumor size was independent predictors of tumor regression |
[28] |
Tumor localization |
Tumor localization in the middle third of the stomach was related to the response |
[29] |
Differentiation |
Well tumor differentiation were related to better histopathological response |
[29] |
Laure's classification |
Intestinal tumor type according to Lauren's classification accurately predicts histopathological response and prognosis in neoadjuvant treated LAGC |
[29] |
Serum low-density lipoprotein |
Higher low-density lipoprotein is statistically significant with histopathological response in LAGC patients undergoing NAC |
[42] |
Endoscopy(second evaluation) |
Re-biopsies taken after NAC do not help in determining the response, since the biopsy might have been taken from an area of localized complete response |
[15] |
Laparoscopy(re-staging) |
Staging laparoscopy might detect not only pre-existing condition but also disease progression during NAC |
