The administration of NAC is not associated with an elevated risk of POCs. For patients treated with NAC, NCT is an independent predictor of POCs, but does not affect oncologic outcomes. POCs is independently associated with worse DFS but not OS. NAC should be considered a safe approach in patients who have locally advanced GC. Strategies to minimize chemotherapy toxicity and postoperative morbidities associated with NAC are warranted.
