Activity Description
The treatment landscape of gastric and esophageal/esophagogastric cancers (collectively known as the upper GI cancers) has dramatically changed over the past few years. One of the most notable changes is the movement of immune therapy into the first-line and adjuvant treatment space. This past year at the annual ASCO meeting, practice-changing data were presented extending from a complete treatment shift in the early stage setting for esophageal adenocarcinoma to a brand new treatment pathway for metastatic gastric cancer. This presentation will aim to summarize the most impactful changes to the treatment for upper GI cancers.
