Optimizing Treatment Strategies for Advanced Upper GI Cancers

Video Series

Navigating Prognosis and Treatment Goals in Upper GI Cancer: A Patient- and Family-Centered Approach

Video content above is prompted by the following:

How would you discuss prognosis and treatment goals with this patient, given his family history of gastric cancer and his advanced-stage disease?

Videos

Experts discuss treatment strategies for advanced upper gastric cancers, focusing on biomarker testing, treatment options, and managing adverse effects.

Experts discuss Robert’s journey with HER2- upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, highlighting key treatment approaches and challenges.

HER2-  Upper GI Cancer

Experts discuss frontline treatment options for advanced upper gastric adenocarcinoma, molecular testing methods, challenges encountered, and how test results influence the choice of systemic therapy for patients.

Frontline Treatment and Molecular Testing in Upper GI Cancer: Precision-Guided Therapy

Experts discuss the role of reflex testing in ensuring accurate and timely treatment selection, the challenges it may present, and how it can be integrated with next-generation sequencing (NGS) to provide a comprehensive molecular profile while minimizing delays.

Reflex Testing in Upper GI Cancer: Optimizing Molecular Insights for Timely Treatment

Experts discuss the relevance of PD-L1 CPS in predicting immunotherapy efficacy, other complementary biomarkers, the benefits of adding nivolumab to a FOLFOX regimen, and how the CheckMate 649 trial and its recent 5-year update have influenced the use of nivolumab in combination with chemotherapy for advanced gastric and gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas.

The Role of Biomarkers for Immunotherapy Selection in Upper GI Cancer

Experts discuss how biomarker testing results should be reassessed or expanded upon disease progression and how they guide the selection of second-line therapies or clinical trial enrollment.

Reassessing Biomarkers: Guiding Second-Line Therapy in Upper GI Cancer

Experts discuss how to approach prognosis and treatment goals with a patient, considering their family history of gastric cancer and advanced-stage disease.

Experts discuss Megan’s journey with HER2-positive upper gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, highlighting key treatment strategies and challenges.

Megan’s Journey With HER2+ Upper GI Cancer

Experts discuss the PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) and its influence on treatment decisions as well as the clinical significance of a high CPS in guiding the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors such as pembrolizumab in HER2-positive gastric cancer.

Understanding PD-L1 CPS: Impact on Treatment Decisions in HER2+ Gastric Cancer

Experts discuss the factors supporting the choice of trastuzumab deruxtecan following disease progression and its mechanism of action in addressing resistance to prior HER2-targeted therapy and provide insights on the updated analysis from the DESTINY-Gastric02 Trial.

ADCs in HER2+ Gastric Cancer

Experts discuss specific biomarkers or clinical features that would prompt earlier consideration of trastuzumab deruxtecan or other HER2-directed therapies.

Biomarkers and Clinical Features Guiding HER2-Directed Therapy in Upper GI Cancer

Experts discuss how microsatellite-stable (MSS) status in this case affects the expected benefit of pembrolizumab and whether its continued use beyond progression in combination with other agents would be considered.

Considerations for Combinations Beyond Progression in Upper GI Cancer

Experts discuss other therapies or clinical trials that might be explored after trastuzumab deruxtecan, particularly for patients with HER2-positive microsatellite-stable (MSS) adenocarcinoma and progression on multiple lines of therapy.
