The Impact of Age, Comorbidity on Postoperative Outcomes in Esophageal and Gastric Cancer

During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, David H. Ilson, MD, PhD, discussed the outcomes of the CheckMate 649, CheckMate 648, and KEYNOTE-859 trials of chemoimmunotherapy regimens in patients with upper GI cancers.

In this episode of Emerging Experts, Michael LaPelusa, MD, shares his insights, experiences, and passion for cancer research, particularly in the realm of gastrointestinal cancers.

A regimen using the PD-L1 inhibitor atezolizumab in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings did not improve outcomes in patients with triple-negative breast cancer.

In season 4, episode 1 of Targeted Talks, Benjamin L. Schlechter, MD, discuses new studies in the gastrointestinal cancers space.

A phase 2 trial showed ctDNA detection in HR-positive early breast cancer was linked to larger tumors, higher residual cancer burden, and increased recurrence after neoadjuvant endocrine therapy.

An analysis of phase 3 trials found tamoxifen significantly reduced 15-year ipsilateral breast recurrence in patients with “good risk” DCIS treated without radiation therapy.
