Gastric Cancer Treatment Market: Understanding and Treatment Algorithm:
Gastric or stomach cancer occurs when malignant cells form in the stomach lining. Often caused by H. pylori infection, poor diet, or genetics, it typically develops slowly. Symptoms like indigestion, weight loss, or nausea appear late. Diagnosis involves endoscopy and imaging. Treatments include surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, especially in advanced or metastatic stages.
Gastric Cancer Diagnosis:
Gastric cancer is diagnosed through endoscopy, where a camera examines the stomach lining, and a biopsy confirms cancer cells. Imaging tests like CT or PET scans assess spread. Blood tests detect anaemia or tumour markers. A barium swallow highlights abnormalities, while laparoscopy may be used for staging. Early, accurate diagnosis is vital for effective treatment.
Gastric Cancer Treatment
Gastric cancer treatment depends on the stage and location of the tumor. Options include surgery to remove part or all of the stomach, chemotherapy to kill cancer cells, radiation therapy for localized control, and targeted drugs or immunotherapy for advanced cases. Multimodal approaches often improve outcomes. Early detection significantly increases treatment success and survival rates

Gastric Cancer Recent Developments:
In October 2024, the FDA approved zolbetuximab clzb (Vyloy) in combination with fluoropyrimidine and platinum-based chemotherapy for first-line treatment of adult patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic HER2-negative, CLDN18.2-positive gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma. Approval was based on SPOTLIGHT and GLOW trials demonstrating improved progression-free and overall survival.
Gastric Cancer Marketed Drugs:
Keytruda (pembrolizumab) is an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody that boosts the immune system’s ability to attack tumor cells. It’s FDA-approved for advanced or metastatic gastric cancer, used in first-line and later treatments based on PD-L1 expression.
- Enhertu: Daiichi Sankyo & AstraZeneca
Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) is an antibody-drug conjugate targeting HER2-positive gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers. It delivers a cytotoxic agent directly to HER2-expressing tumor cells, improving survival in advanced cases.
- Vyloy (Zolbetuximab): Astellas Pharma
Vyloy is a monoclonal antibody targeting CLDN18.2, a protein expressed on certain gastric cancer cells. It’s approved in combination with chemotherapy for first-line treatment of CLDN18.2-positive gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma.
Gastric Cancer: Emerging Therapies
- BNT327: It is a bispecific antibody in late-stage trials for gastric cancer. It targets two immune checkpoints to enhance T-cell activation and tumour response, aiming to improve outcomes in patients resistant to standard PD-1/PD-L1 therapies.
- DS-8201 (Enhertu) Next-Gen: A next-generation antibody-drug conjugate designed to target HER2-positive gastric cancers with improved efficacy and reduced toxicity. It’s being evaluated in combination with immunotherapies in ongoing clinical trials.
- CAR-T Therapy (CLDN18.2-targeted): A novel chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy targeting CLDN18.2 on gastric cancer cells. Early trials show promising results in advanced gastric cancer resistant to conventional treatments.
- Margetuximab: It is a HER2-targeted monoclonal antibody designed to improve immune system engagement. It is being tested for HER2-positive gastric cancer, particularly in patients who have progressed on trastuzumab.
Gastric Cancer Market Outlook
- The gastric cancer market refers to the global industry involved in the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of diagnostic tools, drugs, and therapies for the detection, treatment, and management of gastric (stomach) cancer. It includes pharmaceuticals like chemotherapy, targeted therapies, immunotherapies, and surgical products aimed at improving patient outcomes.

- Government initiatives focus on funding research, promoting early screening programs, and improving access to advanced gastric cancer treatments to reduce mortality and enhance patient care worldwide.
- Challenges include late-stage diagnosis, limited treatment options for advanced disease, high treatment costs, drug resistance, and uneven access to healthcare facilities globally.
- The gastric cancer market is projected to grow significantly, driven by rising incidence rates, innovation in therapies, and increasing adoption of personalized medicine over the next decade.
Gastric Cancer Market Segmentation
By Disease Type:
- Adenocarcinoma
- Lymphoma
- Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumour
- Carcinoid Tumour
- Others

The Adenocarcinoma segment dominates the global gastric cancer market because it accounts for approximately 90-95% of all gastric cancer cases. Its high prevalence, aggressive nature, and poor prognosis drive significant demand for targeted therapies and treatment options, making it the primary focus of research, drug development, and market investment in gastric cancer care.
By Treatment Type:
- Immunotherapy
- Targeted Therapy
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation Therapy
- Surgery

The Chemotherapy segment dominates the gastric cancer market due to its long-established role as a standard treatment across all cancer stages. It is widely used alone or combined with surgery, radiation, or newer therapies. Despite advances in immunotherapy and targeted treatments, chemotherapy remains essential for many patients, driving its continued market leadership and demand globally.
Regional Segment Analysis of the Gastric Cancer Market
The Asia Pacific region holds the largest share of the global gastric cancer market, largely due to the high prevalence of the disease in countries like China, Japan, and South Korea. Contributing factors include traditional dietary habits rich in smoked and salted foods, widespread Helicobacter pylori infections, genetic susceptibility, and a growing elderly population. Additionally, countries in this region benefit from relatively advanced healthcare infrastructure, government-supported cancer awareness initiatives, and well-established screening programs, particularly in Japan and South Korea. The presence of key pharmaceutical players and increased investment in research and development further reinforce the region's leadership in this market.
Europe is currently the fastest-growing region in the global gastric cancer market. This rapid growth is driven by an aging population, increased incidence of risk factors such as smoking and poor dietary habits, and rising awareness about early cancer detection. Enhanced government funding, expanded clinical research, and growing adoption of advanced therapies like immunotherapy and targeted treatments have also contributed to the market’s momentum. Furthermore, improved healthcare infrastructure and strong collaboration between pharmaceutical companies and regulatory bodies are accelerating access to innovative treatments, making Europe a key region for future expansion in gastric cancer care.
