Objective To explore the value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) in the judgment of N stage and lymph node metastasis of patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent surgery after transformation therapy.Methods Clinical data of 27 patients with advanced gastric cancer who underwent surgery after transformation therapy, form July 2017 to July 2019 in Affiliated Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital of Qingdao University were analyzed retrospectively, and all of patients underwent SOX regimen transformation therapy. The MSCT enhanced scan was performed before operation, and the postoperative pathology was used as the gold standard. The preoperative N stage and lymph node metastasis groups were evaluated by MSCT enhanced scan and compared with the pathological results.Results  Before the operation, MSCT was used to evaluate the lymph node metastasis of the patients with advanced gastric cancer after transformation therapy, and compared with the lymph nodes metastasis of the corresponding pathological results, the accuracy rates of lymph node groups in No.1, No.3, No.5, No.6, No.7, No.8, and No.16 were 77.78% (21/27), 81.48% (22/27), 85.19% (23/27), 88.89% (24/27), 85.19% (23/27), 74.07% (20/27), and 96.30% (26/27), respectively. Compared with pathological results, the total accuracy of N stage after transformation therapy that evaluated by MSCT was 62.96% (17/27), with the Kappa coefficient was 0.419 (P=0.003).Conclusions MSCT has high accuracy and consistency for the N stage of advanced gastric cancer after transformation therapy. Besides, MSCT has a certain diagnostic rate for lymph node metastasis in patients with advanced gastric cancer in lymph node groups of No.1, No.3, No.5, No.6, No.7, No.8, and No.16.
