Summary
This study tested a combination of chemotherapy (CAPOX) and two targeted antibodies (trastuzumab and bevacizumab) in 37 adults with HER2-positive stomach or esophageal cancer that had spread. The goal was to see if the combo could shrink tumors safely. While the treatment helped control the disease, it is not a cure, and patients may need ongoing therapy.
