Core Tip	Studies have shown that there is an association between tumor response at anatomical imaging evaluation and histopathological response and survival in patients with gastric cancer who are treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. However, as it takes time for gross tumor changes to become apparent, anatomical imaging may be of limited value in the early assessment of neoadjuvant chemotherapy efficacy. Studies performing early response assessment with use of 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron-emission tomography demonstrate controversial results. The usefulness of other molecular imaging modalities, among which diffusion-weighted-magnetic resonance imaging, remains to be investigated.
