Combined therapeutic regimens, including molecular targeted agents, are considered standard treatment for advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer. We present an extremely rare case of acute reversible cardiac dysfunction in a 20-year-old patient after administration of trastuzumab plus 5-fluorouracil for the treatment of metastatic gastroesophageal junction cancer. During the first day of chemotherapy, the patient complained of retrosternal pain radiating to the scapular regions bilaterally.
