Target Therapy in Gastric Cancer
نویسنده
چکیده
Gastric cancer is the fifth most frequently diagnosed cancer and the third leading cause of cancer mortality. In advanced gastric cancer patients, the treatment outcomes are dismal. With the development of the molecular targeted therapy, the prognosis in patients with advanced and unresectable gastric cancer are improved. This article reviewed the molecular targeted agents in clinical use, their limitations and potential strategies to overcome them, and the future direction of target therapy in advanced gastric cancer.

متن کاملThe Association of pre-mir-196a2 T/C Polymorphism and Risk of Gastric Cancer in Ardabil, Iran
Micro-RNAs are a large group of non-coding RNAs of 18-25 nucleotides in length. Polymorphisms in the human pre-mir-RNAs could change the efficiency of target cell and can also play a role in cell cycle regulation and cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate the association of rs11614913 T/C polymorphism with gastric cancer risk in Ardabil Province. In a case-control study, this polymorph...
