of patients with gastric cancer have advanced disease* at the time of diagnosis3
Reflexively testing for actionable IHC biomarkers at gastric/GEJ cancer diagnosis can help guide timely, personalized treatment decisions11
*This includes patients with regional disease, or those whose cancer has spread to regional lymph nodes, and metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. There are 30,300 estimated new cases in 2025.3
†Assessed between 2015 and 2021 in the United States.3
‡Defined as ≥ 75% of tumor cells with moderate (2+) to strong (3+) membranous staining.9
§Defined as any percentage of tumor cells with moderate (2+) to strong (3+) membranous staining.10
**Testing recommendations for GEJ cancers, HER2, and CLDN18.2 are in adenocarcinoma.4,5
