Case report: Patients with positive HER-2 amplification locally advanced gastroesophageal junction cancer achieved pathologic complete response with the addition of pembrolizumab to chemotherapy plus trastuzumab as neoadjuvant therapy

Patients with HER-2-positive locally advanced GEJ cancers received PD-1 immunotherapy combined with trastuzumab and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and achieved a complete pathological response. Hence, it is a novel, highly specific, and potent therapeutic option for HER-2-positive patients and should henceforth be considered as a new treatment approach.

Abstract

Patients with HER-2-positive locally advanced GEJ cancers received PD-1 immunotherapy combined with trastuzumab and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and achieved a complete pathological response. Hence, it is a novel, highly specific, and potent therapeutic option for HER-2-positive patients and should henceforth be considered as a new treatment approach.
