Sintilimab in Combination with Chemotherapy ± Local Treatment for Om-G/GEJ

Gastric cancer is one of the most common and deadly cancers globally, with poor prognosis. About 70% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and the median overall survival (OS) is only 3-4 months. Current treatments, including immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with chemotherapy, have slightly improved survival, but most patients still experience disease progression during treatment, and those with PD-L1 CPS ≤5 do not benefit from immunotherapy. Local radiotherapy, as a palliative treatment, can alleviate symptoms like bleeding, dysphagia, and pain, improving quality of life. Studies show that it significantly improves progression-free survival and may extend overall survival when added to chemotherapy. Therefore, combining local radiotherapy with immunochemotherapy may offer additional survival benefits for patients with advanced gastric cancer.
