Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Highest incidence rate is observed in Eastern Asia.~D2 gastrectomy has been established as a standard surgical procedure. While recurrence rate after resection is still high.~The CLASSIC study showed that Xelox regimen after D2 gastrectomy improves 3-year disease-free survival compared with surgery only. But patients with late stage still have poor prognosis according to subgroup analysis and our retrospective study.~HER2 is an important biomarker and key driver of tumorigenesis in 7-34% gastric cancers. The ToGA study showed that trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets HER2, plus chemotherapy improved overall survival(16.0m vs 11.8m) in patients with HER2-positive advanced gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction cancer.~Based on previous experiences of trastuzumab in adjunctive therapy of breast cancer and ACTS/CLASSIC/ToGA studies, we suppose that trastuzumab plus XELOX as adjunctive treatment may benefit patients with HER2-positive Stage III gastric cancer after D2 Gastrectomy.~According to the above, we do this single-arm research to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of trastuzumab plus XELOX for treatment of HER2-positive Stage III Gastric Cancer After D2 Gastrectomy.
The objective of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of trastuzumab plus XELOX for treatment of HER2-positive Stage III Gastric Cancer After D2 Gastrectomy.
