Key Clinical Message Four patients with gastric cancer underwent 5‐fluorouracil and cisplatin‐based chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery. Expression analysis of chemoradiosensitivity related genes in residual cancer using formalin‐fixed paraffin‐embedded specimens may be useful when determining a chemotherapy regimen for disease recurrence after chemoradiotherapy for gastric cancer.
