Key trials in metastatic gastric cancer (1st-Line)
- Platinum + fluoropyrimidine (e.g. cisplatin or oxaliplatin + 5-FU or capecitabine) form the backbone of 1st-line treatment.
- Trastuzumab is added for HER2-positive cancers.
- Consider adding an anthracycline or taxane for younger fit patients.
- Immuno-oncology such as nivolumab shows promise when available, improving PFS and OS in some patients.
- Consider monotherapy with a fluoropyrimidine for those who cannot tolerate polychemotherapy.
