There are no standard treatment strategies for these patients. Multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach is a good choice for making a high-quality decision. Generally, MDT will recommend these patients to receive preoperative chemotherapy or preoperative chemoradiation based on all kinds of treatment guidelines. However, the preferred preoperative treatment is still not established. In order to solve this problem, we carry out this randomized phase III trial of comparing preoperative chemoradiation with preoperative chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. Methods: Eligible patients with locally advanced gastric cancer or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma are randomized to receive preoperative chemoradiation or preoperative chemotherapy, followed by surgery and postoperative chemotherapy. In the preoperative chemoradiation arm (Pre-CRT), patients receive two cycles of S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX), chemoradiation, then followed by surgery and three more cycles of SOX chemotherapy. In the preoperative chemotherapy arm (Pre-CT), patients receive three cycles of SOX, following surgery three more cycles of SOX are given. The primary endpoint of this trial is to verify that preoperative chemoradiation could significantly improve the 3-year disease free survival (DFS) of patients with locally advanced gastric cancer or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma compared to preoperative chemotherapy. Discussion: The results from this trial will provide important information about whether preoperative chemoradiation could improve survival compared to preoperative chemotherapy among patients with locally advanced gastric cancer or esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma.

In the Pre- an alternative option for patients with resectable gastric CT arm, patients receive three cycles of SOX, following cancer [3, 4]. Additionally, there are some preoperative chemoradiation reports in gastric cancer. A prospective, randomized trial showed that preoperative chemoradia- tion followed by surgery was superior to surgery in pa- tients with resectable adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and gastric cardia [5]. Some phase II studies also showed that preoperative chemoradiation resulted in substantial pathologic response and R0 resection rate [6–8]. In our previous published research, 67% patients with locally advanced gastric cancer received curative gastrectomy after receiving chemoradiation [8]. Based on the publica- tion of above-mentioned studies, clinicians have been faced with the dilemma of which preoperative therapy, chemotherapy or chemoradiation, should be applied to patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. A phase III study of comparing preoperative chemotherapy with chemoradiation was carried to solve this problem [9]. Unfortunately, this study was closed prematurely due to low accrual. Therefore, a randomized phase III trial comparing preoperative chemotherapy with chemoradia- tion is needed is deeply needed. The aim of this study is to compare perioperative S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) chemotherapy with preoperative chemoradiation plus perioperative SOX chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Among the various chemotherapy regimes, S-1 and oxaliplatin (SOX) appears to be effective. Some studies have shown that SOX had a favorable tumor response rate with a relatively mild toxicity profile [10, 11].The study proto- col of this trial, which has the acronym PREACT, is de- scribed in this article.

  • Long-Course Neoadjuvant Chemoradiotherapy with Versus
    Wang et al. Radiation Oncology (2019) 14:215 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13014-019-1420-z RESEARCH Open Access Long-course neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy with versus without a concomitant boost in locally advanced rectal cancer: a randomized, multicenter, phase II trial (FDRT-002) Jingwen Wang1,2†, Yun Guan3,4†, Weilie Gu1,5, Senxiang Yan6, Juying Zhou7, Dan Huang1,8, Tong Tong1,9, Chao Li10,11, Sanjun Cai1,5, Zhen Zhang1,2* and Ji Zhu1,2* Abstract Background: This study was designed to explore whether an intensified chemoradiotherapy (CRT) led to a better clinical outcome in locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods: Patients with stage II/III rectal cancer were randomly allocated to receive either pelvic intensity- modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) of 50 Gy/25Fx concurrently with capecitabine and oxaliplatin (Arm A), or pelvic radiation of 50 Gy/25Fx with a concomitant boost of 5 Gy to the primary lesion, followed by a cycle of XELOX 2 weeks after the end of CRT (Arm B). All patients were planned to receive a definitive operation 8 weeks after the completion of CRT and a total of six perioperative chemotherapy cycles of capecitabine and oxaliplatin regardless of pathological result. Pathological complete response (ypCR) was the primary endpoint. Results: From February 2010 to December 2011, 120 patients from three centers were enrolled in this study. Ninety- five percent patients completed a full-dose chemoradiotherapy as planning. Then 53 and 57 patients received a radical surgery, and 8 and 14 cases were confirmed as ypCR in two groups (P = 0.157). The other 10 patients failed to receive a definitive resection because of unresectable disease.
