Popis: Locally advanced gastric adenocarcinoma has a poor outcome. Neoadjuvant treatment is being tested in locally advanced non-resectable tumours and in those resectable tumours with a high risk of recurrence. Efforts to identify prognostic factors and more active and less toxic preoperative regimens are being searched for. We report the case of a patient achieving a complete histopathological complete response following docetaxel- based neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
