Correlation between Tomographic and Histopathological Staging in Upfront Resected Gastric Cancer: Enhancing Diagnostic Accuracy in the Era of Perioperative Therapy
Although MDCT is a valuable initial staging tool for gastric cancer, we found weak agreement between the clinical and the pathological stages in upfront resected gastric cancers. By implementing an expert radiology review and standardising scanning and reporting protocols, we can significantly improve the accuracy and correlation of MDCT with pathology, even for T1/T2 disease. This may help in better selecting patients for upfront surgery versus perioperative chemotherapy, especially in resource-constrained settings.
