Core Tip
Core Tip: The prognosis of HER2-positive gastric cancer patients is generally worse; hence, there is an urgent need to explore new and effective treatments. Gastric cancer is a common malignant tumor disease in the digestive system. Cumulative data suggests that the incidence rate of gastric cancer ranks second among all malignant tumors, and the mortality rate ranks third. Furthermore, there is a rising trend in the incidence rate, which poses a serious threat to the physical and mental health of the population. The rapid development of modern medical technology has promoted the emergence of targeted therapy in clinical practice. However, due to the heterogeneous and complex nature of gastric cancer progression, its application is limited and the progress is slow.
