Abstract
Molecular medicine opened new horizons in understanding disease mechanisms and discovering target interventions. The wider availability of DNA and RNA sequencing, immunohistochemical analysis, proteomics, and other molecular tests changed how physicians manage diseases. The gastric cancer molecular classification proposed by The Cancer Genome Atlas Program divides gastric adenocarcinomas into four subtypes. However, the available targets and/or immunotherapies approved for clinical use seem to be dissociated from these molecular subtypes. Until a more reliable interpretation of the stupendous amount of data provided by the molecular classifications is presented, the clinical guidelines will rely on available actionable targets and approved therapies to guide clinicians in conducting cancer management in the era of molecular therapies.
