ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancer Symposium | Conference

Zev A. Wainberg, MD, discusses future research efforts for the treatment of patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Ghassan K. Abou-Alfa, MD, detailed the evolution of treatment options for unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma prior to the phase 3 HIMALAYA study and the reasons for launching the trial.

Jun Gong, MD, hosted a Twitter takeover during the 2022 Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium where he discussed breaking presentations in a #CNRealtimeReport.

Zev A. Wainberg, MD, spoke to the rationale for examining the efficacy of pembrolizumab alone and in combination with chemotherapy for patients with advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma.

Patients with pretreated gastrointestinal stromal tumors who were treated with ripretinib did not reach the primary end point of progression-free survival superiority vs sunitinib in the phase 3 INTRIGUE study.

Patients with recurrent hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation were treated with lenvatinib and saw promising efficacy.

The CheckMate 9X8 trial did not hit the primary end point of progression-free survival superiority with nivolumab plus standard of care vs standard of care alone in metastatic colorectal cancer.

The observational GALAXY study found that use of a ctDNA assay could help determine which patients with colorectal cancer stand to benefit the most by receipt of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Treatment with trastuzumab deruxtecan produced promising efficacy results for patients with HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer.

Results from a phase 1/2 study showed that a combination of encorafenib, cetuximab, and nivolumab was well tolerated and yielded promising responses in patients with microsatellite stable BRAFV600E metastatic colorectal cancer.
