Abstract

With the proven overall benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced gastric cancer, there has come a need to discriminate responders from non-responders. In this article, the current role of anatomical and molecular imaging in the prediction of response to neoadjuvant therapy in gastric cancer is outlined and future prospects are discussed.
