Treatment strategy and therapy based on immune response in patients with gastric cancers.

Abstract

In this editorial, we highlight the significance of a retrospective study "Analysis of the impact of immunotherapy efficacy and safety in patients with gastric cancer and liver metastasis" performed by Liu et al. The authors utilized data collected from gastric cancer (GC) patients and assessed immunotherapy effectiveness and survival status. They found significant differences in treatment response. Because immunotherapy seems to be a beneficial strategy for advanced GC patients, stratification of the data based on metastasis status may further improve treatment strategies.
