The literature data about the possibilities and prospects of using computed tomography to assess the therapeutic effectiveness of neoadjuvant therapy for patients with gastric cancer were analyzed.

Development of treatment methods and emergence of new imaging methods have led to the fact that currently there are various criteria for evaluating the response of the tumor. The data about the assessment and prediction of the effects of neoadjuvant therapy in patients with gastric cancer on the basis of CT-volumetry, spectral CT, CT-perfusion, and radiomic analysis are presented.

It was shown that modern methods of diagnostic imaging are powerful tool for studying the response of a malignant tumor to treatment. The potential of these methods is great, but their capabilities require a thorough in-depth study and further development of image acquisition.
