Core Tip The therapeutic profile of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive gastric cancer is shifting to a paradigm where it is no longer dependent on the traditional HER2 inhibition. This change has been achieved by two important developments: potent antibody-drug conjugates and combined modality therapies targeting HER2, immune checkpoints, and chemotherapy. Our review provides a critical analysis of these approaches, deconstructs the multifaceted molecular basis of resistance, and conceptualizes a next-generation precision oncology framework combining real-time monitoring with liquid biopsy and analytics driven by artificial intelligence to outsmart gastric cancer evolution.
