    Abstract:Chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy are the main treatments in unresectable gastric cancer. In recent years, due to the adjustment and optimization of chemotherapy regimens which are consist of fluorouracil, platinum and taxane, the survival time of gastric cancer patient has been prolonged and the quality of life has been improved. The molecular targeted therapy in gastric cancer arouses more and more concern, and there are many phrase Ⅲ clinical trials which are used to assess the efficacy of molecular targeted therapy. The advances of chemotherapy and molecular targeted therapy bring new hope to advanced gastric cancer patients.
