Perioperative Chemotherapy in Locally Advanced Gastric Cancer

Abstract: -Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers and a main cause of cancer-related death worldwide, since the majority of patients suffering of this malignancy are usually faced with a poor prognosis due to diagnosis at later stages. In order to improve treatment outcomes, the association of surgery with chemo and/or radiotherapy (multimodal therapy) has become the standard treatment for locally advanced stages. However, despite several treatment options currently available for management of these tumors, pe… Show more

“…2 In particular, chemotherapy has been approved as a treatment option for gastrointestinal cancers. 3 Unfortunately, in GC patients with chemotherapeutic drugs, tumor metastasis and local recurrence become increasingly common due to chemoresistance. 4 Autophagy is a homeostatic process in which the aged and damaged proteins or certain organelles of the cell are encapsulated into vesicles, and were bound with lysosomes to form autophagic lysosomes, and finally were degraded as the contents encapsulated by autophagy-related genes (ATGs) under starvation, hypoxia or other specific cellular stress conditions.…”

“…At present, the standard therapy for gastric carcinoma includes surgical intervention followed by combination chemotherapy (22). While chemotherapy has become the primary treatment option for advanced gastric carcinoma (23), the effect of traditional chemotherapy is not ideal. Targeted therapy is a novel cancer treatment at the cellular or molecular level (24), in which specially designed drugs can target and act on the specific genes or proteins necessary for tumor growth.…”

“…Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth highest incidence malignant tumor in the world and the third dominant cause of cancer death, with a 5-year survival rate of only 20% to 25% worldwide [1, 2]. Despite the improvement of therapeutic methods with surgical resection, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapeutic strategies, and targeted therapies, invasion and metastasis lead to the poor prognosis of GC patients and have become a significant clinical challenge [37]. Therefore, finding new molecular markers which are related to metastasis and poor outcome may contribute to affording new insights into diagnostic decision and novel therapies for GC patients.…”
