| Popis | Simple Summary A review of the latest research at PubMed and major cancer conferences was conducted to find out the current treatments for advanced stomach and esophagogastric junction cancers. In the West, neoadjuvant and perioperative chemotherapy is preferred for localized tumors. In East Asia, adjuvant chemotherapy is preferred. Studies are looking at how well immunotherapy and other drugs work in the perioperative setting. To choose the best treatment for advanced gastric cancer, including adenocarcinoma of the esophago-gastric junction, it is important to know biomarkers like HER2 expression, PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS), Claudin 18.2, and microsatellite instability (MSI). The standard first-line therapy is a combination of fluoropyrimidine and a platinum derivative. The choice of chemotherapy with antibodies depends on the biomarker. This article reviews recent clinical trial results and looks at the future of systemic therapy.Abstract Background: The prognosis of patients diagnosed with locally advanced and metastatic gastric and esophago-gastric junction cancer is critical. The optimal choice of systemic therapy is essential to optimize survival outcomes. Methods: A comprehensive literature review via PubMed and analysis of major oncology congresses (European Society for Medical Oncology and American Society of Clinical Oncology websites) were conducted to ascertain the current status and latest developments in the systemic treatment of patients with localized or advanced gastric and esophago-gastric junction adenocarcinoma. Results: While neoadjuvant and perioperative chemotherapy for localized tumor stages is the preferred approach in the Western Hemisphere, adjuvant chemotherapy remains the preferred course of action in East Asia. The administration of chemotherapy, typically in the form of combinations comprising platinum and fluoropyrimidine compounds in combination with docetaxel, represents a standard of care. Investigations are underway into the potential of immunotherapy and other biologically targeted agents in the perioperative setting. To select the most appropriate therapy for advanced gastric cancer, including adenocarcinoma of the esophago-gastric junction, it is essential to determine biomarkers such as HER2 expression, PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) (combined positive score), Claudin 18.2, and microsatellite instability (MSI). In the present clinical context, the standard first-line therapy is a combination of fluoropyrimidine and a platinum derivative. The selection of chemotherapy in combination with antibodies is contingent upon the specific biomarker under consideration. Conclusions: This article reviews the current state of the art based on recent clinical trial results and provides an outlook on the future of systemic therapy. |
