David Ilson, MD, PhD; Sunnie Kim, MD; and Raji Shameem, MD,​ discuss how first-line nivolumab plus chemotherapy has demonstrated sustained survival benefits in advanced gastric cancer, with PD-L1 combined positive scores helping guide patient selection. Long-term safety data support its role as standard of care, particularly benefiting patients with PD-L1–high disease, though unmet needs remain in subgroups with PD-L1–low disease.

Joshua K. Sabari, MD, and Martin Dietrich, MD, PhD, examine both the evolution of first-line EGFR TKIs as standard treatment for EGFR-mutated metastatic non-small cell lung cancer and the ongoing clinical challenges in managing resistance, toxicities, and treatment sequencing in this space.

Mike J. Pishvaian, MD, PhD; Stacey Cohen, MD; and Mark Lewis, MD, FASCO, discuss how recent advancements in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and minimal residual disease (MRD) testing are revolutionizing colorectal cancer management across the care continuum, from early detection to treatment selection and monitoring, with key insights from major clinical trials like DYNAMIC and GALAXY informing more personalized and effective treatment strategies.

Panelists discuss insights from the MARIPOSA study on first-line treatment options for EGFR-mutant metastatic non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), highlighting the efficacy of amivantamab-lazertinib over osimertinib, the importance of managing adverse events, adherence to National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines, and the need for patient engagement in treatment discussions to address unmet needs.

Panelists discuss how myelofibrosis management involves a blend of medications, supportive care, and potential stem cell transplantation, with a focus on Janus kinase inhibitors and investigational agents like pelabresib for modifying disease progression, as well as the findings from the MANIFEST-2 trial regarding spleen volume reduction and biomarker data.
