Abstract
Gastric cancer is one of the most common gastrointestinal malignancies associated with higher mortality and a high recurrence rate. Early detected gastric cancer can be managed endoscopically or laparoscopically. The management of locally advanced and metastatic gastric cancer is particularly difficult. Conventional chemotherapy is not useful in all patients with advanced disease. In those patients, the only hope of treatment at present is target therapy. Apart from metastatic disease, target therapy is also useful in a patient with chemoresistance gastric cancer and gastric cancer who failed to respond to conventional chemotherapy
