Diagnosis & Disease Information
Frontline Pembrolizumab Improves PFS, OS in HER2- Gastric/GEJ Cancers
Adding pembrolizumab to frontline chemotherapy improves outcomes in patients with HER2-negative, advanced gastric or GEJ cancers, a phase 3 trial suggests.
Cancer Patients May Be Treated With Drugs That Provide No Benefit
Many cancer patients may be treated with drugs that were granted accelerated approval but do not provide a clinical benefit, a study suggests.
Precision Medicine Can Be Integrated Into Routine Cancer Care
Implementation of precision oncology recommendations has clinical utility for patients with gastrointestinal cancers.
Esophageal, Gastric Cancer Risks Reduced With Bariatric Surgery for Obesity
Researchers explored the potential relationship between bariatric surgery for severe obesity and risk of esophageal and gastric cancers.
Accuracy of Prognostic Score System for Advanced Gastroesophageal Cancer Analyzed
Researchers sought to determine which of 4 well-known prognostic scoring systems were more accurate in patients with advanced GE cancer.
Risks of Second Primary Malignancies Increased in Colorectal Cancer Survivors
A systematic review and meta-analysis sought to determine the risk of secondary primary cancer for survivors of colorectal cancer.
Laparoscopic Surgery Noninferior for Gastric Cancer at Five Years
At five years, OS, RFS similar for laparoscopic surgery and open distal gastrectomy for locally advanced gastric cancer.
Significant County-Level Variability Seen With Gastrointestinal Cancers
Smoking and rural residence are most strongly associated with gastrointestinal cancer-related mortality.
