Thus, radiochemotherapy or a combination of chemotherapeutics with targeted therapy is the mainstay of treatment. In comparison to the treatment of other malignant tumors, in gastric cancer, the development of molecularly targeted drugs has been relatively slow. Currently, there are two major classes of molecularly targeted drug regimens that have achieved a certain efficacy in clinical practice: anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (anti-EGFR) therapy. Trastuzumab has been approved as the standard of care for first-line treatment in advanced human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive gastric cancer. Ramucirumab in combination with paclitaxel is the recommended regimen for second-line treatment, and apatinib is recommended as third-line treatment.

Early recognition of this rare medication-induced adverse effect and close monitoring of the CK level are particularly important.
