Gastric cancer is one of the most prevalent malignant tumors worldwide, characterized by high incidence and mortality rates. At present, comprehensive surgical treatment has enhanced the prognosis of locally advanced gastric cancer patients significantly. However, the postoperative recurrence rate remains high, and the long-term survival for patients is suboptimal. In recent years, immunotherapy has garnered extensive attention as an innovative approach to the treatment of gastric cancer. Indeed, multiple studies have validated its therapeutic effects in advanced gastric cancer patients, leading to its incorporation into treatment guidelines. Currently, researchers are exploring the application of immunotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting globally in order to further adjust and refine neoadjuvant immunotherapy regimens for gastric cancer. This article summarizes the research progress and controversies associated with neoadjuvant immunotherapy in gastric cancer, aiming to optimize clinical benefits for gastric cancer patients undergoing this treatment approach. The retrieval methods of this study encompassed databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, clinicaltrials.gov, etc. The retrieved articles included guidelines, consensus, meta-analyses, clinical trials, and reviews related to locally advanced gastric cancer published up to January 2024.
