title: The use of high-throughput screening in identifying chemotherapeutic agents for gastric cancer.
abstract: Gastric cancer claims many lives around the world, particularly in Asia. Although diagnosis and treatment has improved, long-term survival of patients is still poor and there is an urgent need to develop more effective treatments for this disease. This review outlines some of the more innovative high-throughput screening-based approaches and strategies that may be used to identify compounds that have new or novel mechanisms of action and could be developed further as possible gastric cancer treatments in the future.
