There are several basic findings in the previous studies: The levels of renin and aldosterone in the blood of cancer patients vary greatly among individuals, and the baseline levels of some patients are relatively higher than others; The elevated levels of renin and aldosterone in the blood are positively correlated with the higher malignancy, drug resistance and progression of gastric cancer; Electroacupuncture stimulation of relevant acupoints can effectively down-regulate the levels of renin and aldosterone in the blood; Electroacupuncture stimulation of relevant acupoints can effectively activate the function of the immune system. Based on these findings, the present clinical trial aim to evaluated the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture combined with chemotherapy and PD-1 Antibody for the treatment of specific type of gastric cancer.
