This review is designed to discuss possibilities for the treatment of advanced gastric cancer with reference to the prognostic and predictive value of molecular-biological parameters and the influence of hereditary predisposition to the development of neoplastic process. The data on modern pharmacotherapy of this disease based on the knowledge of molecular-biological parameters are presented including the following markers: HER2/neu, VGFR, c-met, TUBB3, CDH-1, BRCA-1, EGFR, TGF-ß, p53, Ki67 and PCNA. It is emphasized that the role of molecular-biological parameters associated with advanced gastric cancer is ambiguous. The prognostic and predictive significance of some of the markers is confirmed while that of others remains to be elucidated and requires further research.

e15191 Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a key element stimulating the angiogenesis in solid tumors. In the current study, we aimed to assess the role of plasma VEGF levels as a prognostic and predictive marker for advanced gastric cancer patients treated with a modified docetaxel, cisplatinum and 5-florouracil (DCF) regimen. Methods: Thirty consecutive patients treated with a modified DCF regimen were included in the study. The plasma VEGF levels of the patients before treatment and following two cycles of chemotherapy were assayed. Results: The modified DCF regimen was well tolerated and yielded a median overall survival (OS) time of 9,0 months and 2-year OS rate of 20%. Good performance status, lower pre-treatment VEGF levels,and decrease in VEGF levels following chemotherapy were found to be independent prognostic factors for OS. Conclusions: The results of the current study suggest that the corrected plasma levels of VEGF could be used as a prognostic factor for advanced gastric cancer patients and a decrease in VEGF levels following 2 cycles of chemotherapy as a predictive marker for patients receiving DCF chemotherapy regimen.
