Article/Chapter Title: Metastatic esophagogastric cancer: Controversies, consensus, and new targets
Abstract: This chapter presents a series of questions and answers on controversies, consensus, and new targets of metastatic esophagogastric cancer. It commences with a discourse on optimal first-line chemotherapy regimen for advanced esophagogastric cancer, and ends with the evaluated new targeted therapies. The chapter also discusses on whether first-line chemotherapy continued until progression or stopped after 4-6 months, data for second-line chemotherapy, and targeted therapies available for esophagogastric cancer. © 2014 John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
