Gastrointestinal Cancer

Jose G. Trevino II, MD, FACS, emphasized educating patients and physicians alike to help recognize early signs of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Although findings did not show differences in eating restrictions 1 month following gastrectomy, the mobile intervention may help with symptom management.

The approval of durvalumab plus FLOT for patients with resectable gastric/GEJ cancer cements itself as a new standard of care in the space.

Clinicians who are experienced with immunotherapy, like durvalumab, can easily identify and manage AEs associated with treatment for gastric/GEJ cancer.

Based on results from the MATTERHORN study of durvalumab/FLOT in gastric/GEJ cancers, the regimen should be considered a new SOC.

Yelena Y. Janjigian, MD, provides the background of the MATTERHORN trial, showcasing the importance of durvalumab plus FLOT in gastric/GEJ cancers.

The addition of pelareorep to standard-of-care therapy in patients with KRAS-mutated microsatellite-stable CRC exhibited an ORR of 33%.

A panel of experts gathered to discuss results from the MATTERHORN trial assessing durvalumab plus FLOT in gastric/GEJ cancer.

The COMPASSION-37 study is the second international registrational study for cadonilimab following an ongoing trial in hepatocellular carcinoma.

The incidence and severity of AEs with eryaspase/chemotherapy was generally consistent with previous reports of chemotherapy alone in advanced PDAC.

Qualified surgeons may offer laparoscopic distal gastrectomy as an alternative to open distal gastrectomy among those with clinical T4a gastric cancer.

Findings from the HERIZON-BTC-01 trial support HER2 as a valid therapeutic target in biliary tract cancer.

Genetic backgrounds and ancestry may hold clues for better understanding pancreatic cancer, which may subsequently mitigate different disparities.

Factors like genetic mutations and smoking may represent red flags in pancreatic cancer detection, said Jose G. Trevino, II, MD, FACS.

Results from MATTERHORN showed durvalumab plus FLOT improved EFS and OS compared with placebo plus FLOT in patients with gastric/GEJ cancers.

Key AEs of NALIRIFOX in NAPOLI 3 were GI- and hematologic-related, with favorable rates of neutropenia and less growth factor use vs nab-paclitaxel/gemcitabine in mPDAC.

Martin F. Dietrich, MD, PhD, explains how NALIRIFOX dosing in the NAPOLI 3 trial resulted in lower rates of grade 3/4 neutropenia vs standard therapy for metastatic PDAC.

Results from the NAPOLI 3 trial found NALIRIFOX is a viable option for first-line treatment of metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.

The NAPOLI 3 trial demonstrated that NALIRIFOX improved outcomes for patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma compared with the standard of care, nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine.

The safety profile of zanidatamab plus chemotherapy with or without tislelizumab was consistent with the known profiles of each individual agent.

Skin toxicities are common with targeted therapies for GI malignancies but can be remedied by preventive measures and a collaboration with dermatology.

Receiving treatment at an academic center may improve the probability of receiving subsequent curative care among those with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Results from the phase 3 COMPETE trial demonstrated that 177Lu-edotreotide improved PFS and ORR compared with everolimus in patients with GEP-NETs.

DFS rates at 2 years were improved with cemiplimab plus SBRT vs cemiplimab alone in patients with resectable hepatocellular carcinoma.

Phase 2 data show consistent overall immunotherapy immunogenicity with ELI-002 7P in those with KRAS-mutated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
