The 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual first proposed ypTNM staging, but its accuracy is controversial. Based on multi-institutional data, this study developed a modified ypTNM staging, which is superior to the AJCC 8th edition ypTNM staging, allowing more accurate assessment of the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer after neoadjuvant therapy.
