FACO China–Japan Expert Dialogue | Professors Jin Li, Xiaotian Zhang, and Koji Kono Discuss Precision Treatment Advances in HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer

China, Japan, and other Asian countries have some of the highest rates of gastric cancer worldwide. In China, the majority of patients are still diagnosed at an advanced stage, having already lost the opportunity for curative surgery. Effective systemic therapy is therefore essential for improving survival. In recent years, innovative drugs represented by antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs)—such as the HER2-targeted ADC trastuzumab deruxtecan (T-DXd)—have achieved major breakthroughs in pivotal clinical studies including DESTINY-Gastric04. These advances are expected to gradually transform the treatment landscape starting from later lines of therapy. Asian clinical researchers have played an important role in these studies, contributing insights that are redefining clinical practice.

ESMO China Voice | Prof. Jiayu Wang: MAIC Analysis Highlights the Potential of Bireociclib as a Second-Line Therapy for HR+/HER2– Advanced Breast Cancer, Offering a New Treatment Option for Patients 

In the second-line treatment of hormone receptor–positive, HER2-negative (HR+/HER2–) advanced breast cancer, CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with fulvestrant have become the standard of care. However, variations in efficacy and safety profiles among different inhibitors remain an important clinical consideration.
