Background: Current NCCN guidelines recommend perioperative epirubicin (E), cisplatin (C), and 5-fluorouracil (F) along with other triple agent derivations as first line therapeutic approaches for operable gastric adenocarcinoma (GC). In this study, we utilized molecular profiling to evaluate expression of chemotherapy targeted biomarkers associated with ECF therapy and other first line cytotoxic regimens for gastric cancer.
