The drugs screened by OncoVeeTM-Mini-PDX have significantly benefited the patient with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: At present, the prognosis of HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer is extremely poor, and some patients fail to benefit from first-line Herceptin treatment, thus facing difficulties in choosing second-line drugs. CASE REPORT Here, we report a 61-year-old male patient with HER2-positive advanced gastric cancer who is primarily resistant to Herceptin and has poor therapeutic effect. MANAGEMENT & OUTCOME: Afterwards, the OncoVeeTM-MiniPDX-guided anticancer method was used to screen drugs for second-line treatment, which resulted in liquefaction and necrosis of the patient's lesions and improved liver function indicators, as well as rapid relief of the patient's clinical symptoms. DISCUSSION: In the treatment of the Herceptin-resistant patient with advanced gastric cancer, OncoVeeTM-MiniPDX method screened drugs and brought clinical benefits.
