Objective To understand the molecular mechanisms and targeted therapy research progress of gastric cancer associated with the RTK/RAS signaling pathway, in order to provide reference for treatment of gastric cancer. Method The related literatures about the molecular mechanism and targeted therapy of RTK/RAS signaling pathway related gastric cancer at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed. Results Targeted therapy had been widely applied in the treatment of gastric cancer associated with the RTK/RAS signaling pathway, showing good efficacy and significantly prolonging patients’ survival time, further deepening the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of gastric cancer. Targeted therapies for gastric cancer associated with the RTK/RAS signaling pathway focused on human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2), epidermal growth factor receptor, fibroblast growth factor receptor 2, cellular-mesenchymalepithelial transition factor and Kirsten ratsarcoma viral oncogene homolog associated targets. Currently, there were many drugs targeting HER-2 target, while research on other targets mostly remains in the clinical trial stage, and showing promising prospects. Conclusion Targeted therapy can benefit most patients with gastric cancer, but the drug resistance and multi-drug combination therapy are still difficult problems that we need to overcome in the future.
