While early gastric cancer can be cured by surgical treatment, locally advanced gastric cancer requires neoadjuvant therapy to shrink the tumour, suppress potential metastases, achieve down-staging, and provide patients with the opportunity for radical surgery to prolong their survival. This article reviews the current status and progress of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for locally advanced gastric cancer. %K Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer %K Adjuvant Chemotherapy %K Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=123990
