Gastric cancer is a global health problem accounting for 800,000 cancer related deaths annually. Often diagnosed at an advanced stage, the treatment of gastric cancer with chemotherapy is directed towards palliating cancer related symptoms with only modest improvements in survival. In addition, no regimen has emerged as a globally accepted standard. New therapeutic options are desperately needed for the treatment of gastric cancer. Docetaxel given in combination has recently emerged as a new option for patients with advanced gastric cancer. This review focuses on the treatment of advanced gastric cancer utilizing docetaxel-based therapy and the novel additions of biotherapy to the existing cytotoxic platforms. In addition, the current investigations of docetaxel for the treatment of potentially curable gastric cancer will be discussed.
胃癌是一个全球性的健康问题,每年导致 80 万人因癌症死亡。胃癌通常在晚期诊断,化疗治疗胃癌的目的是缓解癌症相关症状,只有适度提高生存。此外,没有一种方案被全球公认为标准。迫切需要新的治疗选择来治疗胃癌。多西紫杉醇联合治疗最近成为晚期胃癌患者的一种新选择。本综述重点介绍了基于多西紫杉醇的治疗晚期胃癌的方法,以及将生物疗法添加到现有的细胞毒性平台的新方法。此外,还将讨论目前对多西紫杉醇治疗潜在可治愈胃癌的研究。
