Collect peripheral blood sample of 50 gastric cancer patients pre-chemotherapy and post two cycles of chemotherapy(response evaluation). Blood samples will be transferred to central lab to detect HER2 positive CTCs by Cellsearch epithelial kit. Tumor response evaluation will be performed after two cycles of chemotherapy by CT/MRI based on RECIST. Clinical data, including tumor stage, metastastic organ, chemotherapy regimen, objective response, progression free survival, overall survival, etc, will be collected according to study protocol.
