Patients with metastatic gastric cancer have a poor outcome. The development of new combinations of chemotherapy has led to steady but only modest gains in overall survival with largest effects reported with two- and three-drug regimens. Trastuzumab, a fully humanized monoclonal antibody directed at the human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER2), has been found to improve response rate and survival in patients with advanced gastric cancer. This update will review the role of HER2 and summarize therapeutic advances in the use of trastuzumab in advanced gastric cancer.
转移性胃癌患者的预后较差。新的化疗联合方案的研发使总生存期稳步提高,但幅度有限,两药和三药方案的疗效最为显著。曲妥珠单抗是一种针对人表皮生长因子受体2(HER2)的全人源化单克隆抗体,已被发现可提高晚期胃癌患者的缓解率并延长生存期。本综述将阐述HER2的作用,并总结曲妥珠单抗在晚期胃癌治疗中的进展。
