About this trial

Although advances in chemotherapy have improved the prognosis of gastric cancer patients, many patients still suffer from adverse events. Therefore, it is necessary to establish personalized treatment by identifying patients at high risk for side effects. Although paclitaxel-based therapy is the standard second-line treatment, peripheral neuropathy is a troublesome adverse event. The purpose of this study is to establish a liquid biopsy assay to predict paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy in gastric cancer patients.
