- Abstract
Advanced gastric cancer (AGC) is an entity that encompasses two distinct clinical situations: locally advanced unresectable gastric cancer and metastatic disease, with chemotherapy as the standard treatment. HER2 overexpression can occur in 9% to 38% of the cases with this disease and has been the first predictive biomarker used for trastuzumab-targeted therapy in patients with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal tumors. This article presents a patient with AGC and positive HER2 treated with conventional chemotherapy plus trastuzumab as targeted therapy with adequate clinical response.
