What is Targeted Therapy for Gastric Cancer?


Healing hearts, one patient at a time.
Well, targeted therapy for gastric cancer mainly refers to treating some major known carcinogenic sites at the molecular level. Well, this site may be a protein molecule, or it may be a gene site or gene fragment. Well, currently known molecular targeted therapy for gastric cancer with relatively good efficacy is mainly HER2. Well, some targeted drugs can be used for HER2-positive gastric cancer patients. For example, Herceptin, that is, trastuzumab. Well, the efficacy of this drug is relatively positive, and there are a large number of clinical studies proving it. Well, gastric cancer is a tumor with relatively high inhibition, so the efficacy of this targeted therapy drug at this stage is relatively limited, but I believe that in the near future, the efficacy will be greatly improved. This is a relatively promising research direction.
