Timing of chemotherapy and survival in patients with resectable gastric adenocarcinoma

Figure 1 Comparison of Kaplan-Meier survival curves. A: For Stage II and III gastric cancer patients who underwent preoperative chemotherapy compared to those who had postoperative chemotherapy (MS 24 mo vs 20 mo, respectively; P = 0.7819); B: Stage II gastric cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (with or without adjuvant therapy) compared to those who had adjuvant chemotherapy alone (MS 29 mo vs 27 mo, respectively; 5-yr operating system (OS) 25% vs 30%; P = 0.9405); C: Stage III gastric cancer patients who underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy (with or without adjuvant therapy) compared to those who had adjuvant chemotherapy alone (MS 16 mo vs 16 mo, respectively; 5-yr OS 14% vs 11%; P = 0.3595).
