Abstract

Introduction: Gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas (GEACs) continue to carry a poor prognosis in most patients. New and exciting therapies have entered the treatment landscape in recent years. Prior to these recent approvals, treatment advances had been limited.

Areas covered: Important treatment decision biomarkers for metastatic GEAC are microsatellite instability-high/deficient mismatch repair, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2, programmed-death ligand 1, and claudin 18.2 expression among others (such as Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and agnostic biomarkers). Results of these biomarkers drive therapy decisions. Second-line treatment in most cases is less biomarker driven and needs further progress.

Expert opinion: Studies of molecular subsets in GEAC has led to the understanding that these are heterogenous diseases that need to be treated differently. Other biomarkers with targeted therapies are being studied including fibroblast growth factor receptor, trophoblast cell surface antigen-2, and epidermal growth factor receptor. Additionally, epidemiological distinctions are starting to drive therapy such as in EBV in GAC.

期刊介绍： Expert Review of Anticancer Therapy (ISSN 1473-7140) provides expert appraisal and commentary on the major trends in cancer care and highlights the performance of new therapeutic and diagnostic approaches. Coverage includes tumor management, novel medicines, anticancer agents and chemotherapy, biological therapy, cancer vaccines, therapeutic indications, biomarkers and diagnostics, and treatment guidelines. All articles are subject to rigorous peer-review, and the journal makes an essential contribution to decision-making in cancer care. Comprehensive coverage in each review is complemented by the unique Expert Review format and includes the following sections: Expert Opinion - a personal view of the data presented in the article, a discussion on the developments that are likely to be important in the future, and the avenues of research likely to become exciting as further studies yield more detailed results Article Highlights – an executive summary of the author’s most critical points.
