New drug can extend survival in gastric cancer

In Germany, around 17,000 people are diagnosed with gastric cancer every year. The disease is one of the leading causes of tumour-related deaths. This is due to late diagnosis and the rapid spread of tumour cells throughout the body. In two international clinical trials, a team of scientists involving the University of Leipzig Medical Center have investigated a drug that can prolong patients' survival. Thanks to the recently published data, zolbetuximab has now been approved as a drug in Europe. Patients with gastric cancer are expected to be able to be treated with it in Germany from the end of this year. The results have been published in the renowned journal The New England Journal of Medicine.
