The diagnostic accuracy of EUS to predict the response after nCTX in patients with advanced EGC is limited. In the current study the endosonographic detection of lymph node metastasis after nCTX indicates a poor prognosis. In the future, preoperative EUS with sectional imaging procedures may be used to tailor treatment for patients with advanced EGC.
