Surgery:Before surgery, abdomen/chest CT scan, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), and gastroscopy with biopsy will be done. Surgery should be done within 12 weeks after last neo-adjuvant treatment. Adjuvant period:Adjuvant treatment with pembrolizumab 200mg every 2week (maximum 2 years) should be performed within 8 weeks after surgery (recommended period : 3-6 weeks after surgery).
