Gastrointestinal cancer. Over the RAINBOW--renaissance in antiangiogenesis

Florian Lordick. Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 2015 Jan.

Abstract

The RAINBOW study has demonstrated that ramucirumab plus paclitaxel as second-line treatment for advanced-stage gastric cancer prolongs survival compared with paclitaxel alone. These data confirm that ramucirumab represents a new effective treatment option for gastric cancer. Nevertheless, new treatment options remain eagerly awaited in this disease with dismal outcomes.
