Abstract
With down-staged tumor after neoadjuvant therapy, survival of ypI was closed but not reached to the prognosis of equivalent pI, prognosis of ypII was similar to equivalent pII, and survival of ypIII tended to be better compared with equivalent pIII. However, without down-staged ypIVa tumor, the prognosis was worse compared with equivalent pIVa, indicating those patients were primary resistant to prescribed neoadjuvant therapy.
