Description

Xiaotian Zhang and a large expert panel update China’s guidance on HER2-targeted treatment for stomach and junction cancers, in the 2025 edition released in 2026. These cancers carry a heavy burden in China. The HER2 protein, when abundant on tumor cells, opens the door to a family of targeted drugs, but judging who qualifies has been crude.

The guideline refines HER2 status into four levels, from high down to absent, to sort patients more finely. It folds in better detection, including tissue stains, gene probes, and blood-based biopsy, to cope with tumors that vary from spot to spot. Newer agents, from antibodies to drug-linked antibodies and dual-target drugs, are placed in sequence. Uniform rules should smooth care across China’s hospitals.
