Core Tip	Baohe Pingwei powder, when combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, exhibits significant efficacy in post-gastrectomy cancer patients. This study reveals that the addition of Baohe Pingwei powder enhances treatment outcomes, improves immune function, and reduces adverse reactions compared to chemotherapy alone. The most innovative finding is the powder's ability to prolong recurrence-free survival, highlighting its potential as an adjuvant therapy for gastric cancer patients undergoing surgery.
