Abstract

Zusammenfassung

Magenkarzinome sind in Deutschland bei Frauen für 2,3 % und bei Männern für 3,5 % der Krebsneuerkrankungen verantwortlich und gehen mit einer hohen Letalitätsrate einher [1]. In der Therapie wird zwischen einer lokalen und einer metastasierten Tumorerkrankung unterschieden. Neue Behandlungsverfahren wie Immuntherapie und zielgerichtete Therapie halten in beiden Fällen Einzug in die derzeitigen Therapiestrategien und verbessern damit die Prognose der Patienten.
