Core Tip Claudin expression is an established biomarker for targeted therapy in gastric cancer; however, its clinical relevance remains uncertain. In this retrospective study, claudin expression was not associated with survival or treatment response in patients with advanced gastric cancer who were treated with ramucirumab plus paclitaxel. These findings highlight a key distinction between intrinsic tumor biomarkers and therapies targeting the tumor microenvironment. Claudin expression should not be used to guide second-line anti-angiogenic treatments, emphasizing the need for mechanism-based biomarker selection in precision oncology.
