An evaluation of pembrolizumab with trastuzumab, fluoropyrimidine- and platinum-containing chemotherapy for HER2 positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma expressing PD-L1 (CPS ≥1). (PubMed, Expert Rev Anticancer Ther)
Nonetheless, primary and acquired resistance driven by HER2 heterogeneity, immune evasion, and dynamic molecular evolution remain major challenges. Next-generation HER2-targeted therapies, including bispecific antibodies, novel antibody - drug conjugates, and dual HER2 antibodies will be crucial to further improve outcomes in this population.

Primary Gastric Adenocarcinoma with Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 Positivity Mimicking Gastric Metastasis from Lung Cancer: A Case Report. (PubMed, Surg Case Rep)
This case highlights the diagnostic challenge posed by TTF-1-positive gastric tumors, which may be mistaken for metastatic lesions from lung cancer. As TTF-1 expression is not entirely specific to tissues of lung or thyroid origin, diagnosis should be based on a comprehensive evaluation of morphological and immunohistochemical findings, together with clinical information, including treatment response and disease course.

Prognostic stratification in gastric cancer with peritoneal metastasis: tumor biology and diagnostic modality as a surrogate for disease burden. (PubMed, BMC Cancer)
Survival in gastric PM is fundamentally driven by HER2 status and the extent of PM. Surgical detection identifies a subgroup with limited, occult disease who achieve superior outcomes compared to those with radiologically overt metastases. Furthermore, the magnitude of biomarker elevation, rather than mere positivity, serves as a critical stratifier. These findings support a paradigm shift towards burden-based risk stratification to guide treatment intensity and clinical trial eligibility.

Construction and application of a genetically engineered mouse model of gastric adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, J Chin Med Assoc)
We successfully established a spontaneous GAC model and its corresponding cell line in C57BL/6J mice, enabling a comprehensive investigation of tumor progression, metastasis, therapeutic response, and resistance mechanisms in vivo. This model represents a valuable platform for advancing precision medicine in gastric cancer.

Case Report: Pathologic complete response to PRaG therapy in an elderly patient with refractory metastatic gastric cancer. (PubMed, Front Oncol)
The tumor demonstrated significant shrinkage following PRaG treatment and ultimately achieved pathologic complete response (pCR), with no serious adverse events aside from mild abdominal pain (NRS score 2). This case suggests that PRaG therapy may represent a promising therapeutic approach for patients with metastatic HAS.

Copy-number amplification drives IFI30 overexpression and coordinated immune activation, identifying a novel diagnostic and therapeutic target in gastric adenocarcinoma. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Its high expression integrates tumor-intrinsic programs (cell cycle, EMT, hypoxia) with tumor-extrinsic immune activation, predicts differential drug sensitivities, and outperforms established biomarkers in forecasting response to immune-checkpoint blockade-particularly in MSI-high disease. These findings nominate IFI30 as a promising diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.

Association of clinicopathological characteristics and baseline peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets with efficacy of first-line immunotherapy in advanced gastric cancer. (PubMed, Discov Oncol)
Clinicopathological characteristics and baseline peripheral lymphocyte subsets were significantly associated with efficacy of first-line chemotherapy combined with ICIs in pMMR HER2-negative advanced G/GEJC, highlighting the potential utility of integrating these accessible parameters for efficacy prediction.
