In 15–20 % of patients, the tumor is characterized by HER2 hyperexpression/amplification which allows to use targeted therapy. Results of the ToGA trial showed that addition of trastuzumab to the 1<sup>st</sup> line chemotherapy in HER2-positive patients statistically significantly increased median overall survival to 16.0 months in the high expression (immunohistochemistry 3+) group, and this regimen remains the standard treatment in these patients in the 1<sup>st</sup> line.</p> <p>A clinical case of a 46-year-old female patient with disseminated HER2-positive (immunohistochemistry 3+) stage IV (primary tumor, metastases in the liver, ovary, carcinomatosis) is presented. During 1<sup>st</sup> line therapy (XELOX + trastuzumab), partial and later complete regression of the tumor lesions was achieved. After 10 courses of induction therapy, supportive therapy with capecitabine and trastuzumab was started which has been going for more than 9 years with overall survival of 123 months and duration of complete response 116 months.</p> <p>Results of the observation show the possibility of exceptionally long and deep response to chemotherapy and trastuzumab combination in individual patients with HER2-positive metastatic gastric cancer which emphasizes significant heterogeneity of this patient subgroup. Optimization of metastatic gastric cancer treatment requires further study aimed at identification of predictive biomarkers of response to anti-HER2 therapy.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Метастатический рак желудка остается заболеванием с неблагоприятным прогнозом, медиана общей выживаемости при стандартной химиотерапии не превышает 1 года. У 15–20 % пациентов опухоль характеризуется гиперэкспрессией/амплификацией HER2, что определяет возможность применения таргетной терапии. По результатам исследования ToGA, добавление трастузумаба к 1-й линии химиотерапии у HER2-положительных пациентов статистически значимо увеличило медиану общей выживаемости до 16,0 мес в подгруппе с высокой экспрессией (иммуногистохимическое исследование 3+), и этот режим остается стандартом лечения таких больных в 1-й линии.</p> <p>Описан клинический случай пациентки 46 лет с диссеминированным HER2-положительным (иммуногистохимическое исследование 3+) раком желудка IV стадии (первичная опухоль, метастазы в печени, яичнике, канцероматоз). На фоне терапии 1-й линии (XELOX + трастузумаб) достигнут частичный, а впоследствии и полный регресс опухолевых очагов. После 10 курсов индукционной терапии начата поддерживающая терапия капецитабином с трастузумабом, которая продолжается более 9 лет с общей выживаемостью 123 мес и длительностью полного ответа 116 мес.</p> <p>Результаты наблюдения демонстрируют возможность достижения исключительно длительного и глубокого ответа на комбинацию химиотерапии и трастузумаба у отдельных пациентов с HER2-положительным метастатическим раком желудка, что подчеркивает значительную гетерогенность этой группы больных. Для оптимизации лечения метастатического рака желудка необходимы дальнейшие исследования, направленные на выявление предиктивных биомаркеров ответа на анти-HER2-терапию.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>metastatic gastric cancer</kwd><kwd>HER2</kwd><kwd>ERBB2</kwd><kwd>chemotherapy</kwd><kwd>targeted therapy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>метастатический рак желудка</kwd><kwd>HER2</kwd><kwd>ERBB2</kwd><kwd>химиотерапия</kwd><kwd>таргетная терапия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Thrift A.P., Wenker T.N., El-Serag H.B.
