Abstract

Gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and poses a major clinical challenge due to limited treatment options. Fluoropyrimidine and platinum-based combination chemotherapy is the first-line standard of care in patients with locally advanced or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma. Despite improved chemotherapy regimens, outcomes remain poor and survival is low. New therapies have focused on targeting the immune system, including the programmed death-1 receptor/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) axis.
