efficacy and safety of neoadjuvant nivolumab plus sox versus nivolumab plus flot in patients with her2-negative gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma

Conditions: Immune-related Adverse Event; Chemotherapeutic Toxicity; Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction Adenocarcinoma

Summary: the goal of the study is to learn about safety and efficacy of preoperative adjuvant sox regimen combined with nivolumab versus flot regimen with nivolumab in her2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. the main question it aims to answer are: * safety and efficacy of preoperative adjuvant sox regimen combined with nivolumab versus flot regimen with nivolumab for the treatment of her2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. * disease-free survival of preoperative adjuvant sox plus nivolumab and flot plus nivolumab for her2-negative gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. participants will be divided into two groups to use a flot chemotherapy regimen plus nivolumab (one group) and a sox chemotherapy regimen plus nivolumab (another group). researchers would compare tumor regression grade, adverse effects and survival benefit of two neoadjuvant regimens.
