Abstract:
      In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become an important treatment strategy for advanced gastric cancer. Immunotherapy has gradually transitioned from a later-line to a first-line treatment for advanced gastric cancer. Simultaneously, more and more researchers have begun to pay attention to whether immunotherapy can be used for resectable gastric cancer. The current use of ICIs in the neoadjuvant treatment of gastric cancer is still in its exploratory stage, with a number of clinical trials currently underway. However, the available data show good application prospects. This article reviews the research progress on ICIs in the neoadjuvant therapy for gastric cancer and evokes some unresolved problems.
