Brief summary: To observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of adebrelimab combination chemotherapy regimen in the perioperative treatment of surgically resectable gastric cancer/adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction.

Detailed description: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common cancer in the world and ranks fourth in mortality. Radical surgery is the main treatment for resectable gastric cancer. For patients with progressive gastric cancer, especially those with stage IIIB and IIIC, their 5-year overall survival (OS) rate after radical surgery is still difficult to exceed 50%. Although D2 radical surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy have significantly improved the prognosis of patients with progressive gastric cancer, the recurrence rate is still as high as 50%\~80%. Several therapeutic approaches have been established to reduce the risk of recurrence and improve long-term survival, including perioperative chemotherapy, adjuvant chemotherapy, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The effect of adding targeted therapies and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) to neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapies is currently being studied. While multiple programmed death 1 (PD-1) inhibitors have been approved for first/third line treatment of unresectable/metastatic gastric cancer. However, the role of immune checkpoint inhibitors in resectable gastric cancer remains unclear and is being investigated in various clinical trials.

We conducted this study with 8 cycles of perioperative treatment with adebrelimab in combination with XELOX chemotherapy regimen and adebelizumab maintenance therapy up to 1 year. To observe and evaluate the efficacy and safety of adebrelimab combination chemotherapy regimen in the perioperative treatment of surgically resectable gastric cancer/adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction.
