Patients with advanced gastric cancer can obtain a five-year survival rate of about 5% to 10% after active treatment, which can vary.

Since patients with advanced gastric cancer mostly have distant metastasis and poor physical condition, they are mostly treated with non-surgical therapies such as radiotherapy and targeted therapy. After active treatment, the five-year survival rate is about 5%~10%.
