Gastroesophageal cancer (GEC) remains a major cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Although the incidence of distal gastric adenocarcinoma (GC) is declining in the United States, proximal esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (EGJ) is rising in incidence. GEC, including GC and EGJ, is currently are treated with the same systemic regimens in the metastatic setting. Overall survival metastatic disease remains poor, with few molecular targeted approaches having been successfully incorporated into routine care to date – only first line anti-HER2 therapy for ERBB2 amplification and second line anti-VEGFR2 therapy have succeeded in improving outcomes. Molecular characterization of GEC has identified other relatively frequent mutations and copy number variations in EGFR, FGFR2, MET, PI3K, and other oncogenes, candidate biomarkers, and immuno-oncologic checkpoints that may serve as actionable therapeutic targets. Here we review these key aberrations, their impact on protein expression, therapeutic implications, and potential future clinical directions within each pathway.
