Core Tip Gastric cancer therapy must evolve beyond traditional approaches by focusing on the tumor immune microenvironment, which is shaped by spatial architecture, metabolic reprogramming, and microbiota interactions. The reliance on static biomarkers like programmed death-ligand 1 expression is shifting towards dynamic markers, such as tertiary lymphoid structure and circulating tumor DNA, to better predict treatment outcomes. A shift towards “ecosystem engineering” strategies, including vascular normalization, stromal reprogramming, and combination therapies like antibody-drug conjugates and chimeric antigen receptor T cells, is crucial for overcoming immune evasion and improving patient responses.
