Research To Practice | Oncology Videos Gastroesophageal Cancers | Cases from the Community: Investigators Discuss Available Research Guiding the Care of Patients with Gastroesophageal Cancers
Featuring perspectives from Dr Yelena Janjigian, Prof Florian Lordick and Dr Zev Wainberg, moderated by Dr Samuel Klempner, including the following topics:
• Optimizing the Selection of Therapy for Newly Diagnosed Advanced Gastric or Gastroesophageal Junction (GEJ) Cancer — Dr Klempner
o Introduction (0:00)
o Case: A man in his mid 50s with HER2-negative gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma (PD-L1 100%) — Victoria Giffi, MD (1:15)
o Cases: A woman in her early 80s with a history of Stage 0 chronic lymphocytic leukemia, now with unresectable gastric adenocarcinoma, develops Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia after 2 cycles of FOLFOX and nivolumab and a man in his early 60s with localized adenocarcinoma of the GEJ receives the CROSS regimen but is found at surgery to have metastatic disease and tumor NGS demonstrates an ARID1A mutation — Matthew R Strickland, MD and Priya Rudolph, MD, PhD (8:05)
o Faculty presentation: Dr Klempner (14:05)
• Current Considerations in the Treatment of HER2-Positive Advanced Gastric/GEJ Adenocarcinoma — Dr Janjigian
o Case: A woman in her early 30s with newly diagnosed metastatic HER2-amplified signet cell gastric adenocarcinoma — Farshid Dayyani, MD, PhD (22:36)
o Cases: A man in his mid 80s with newly diagnosed HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancer metastatic to the liver and lung, tumor 3+ by IHC for HER2 with a PD-L1 of 10 and a woman in her mid 70s with HER2-positive esophageal adenocarcinoma and brain metastases after stereotactic radiosurgery — Warren S Brenner, MD and Dr Strickland (31:43)
o Faculty presentation: Dr Janjigian
• Selection and Sequencing of Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory Gastric/GEJ Cancer; Novel Investigational Approaches — Prof Lordick
o Cases: A woman in her mid 70s with Lynch syndrome and a history of Stage III colon cancer presents with poorly differentiated GEJ carcinoma with liver and lung metastases and a man in his early 60s presents with a 70-lb weight loss and locally advanced high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma of the distal esophagus — Namrata I Peswani, MD and Ranju Gupta, MD (46:19)
o Case: A man in his early 60s with metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (PD-L1 CPS 0) with clinical and radiographic progression of disease after 4 cycles of FOLFOX — Dr Strickland (52:31)
o Faculty presentation: Prof Lordick (55:26)
• Current Approaches to the Management of Esophageal Cancer — Dr Wainberg
o Cases: A man in his late 50s with dysphagia, weight loss and a lower esophageal adenocarcinoma (T3N3) and a man in his mid 70s with dysphagia is found to have a lower esophageal adenocarcinoma with regional adenopathy and pulmonary nodules (CPS 40 by SP263) — Gurveen Kaur, MD and Liudmila N Schafer, MD (1:03:56)
o Case: A woman in her early 60s with a known germline BRCA2 mutation and a history of Hodgkin lymphoma, breast and anaplastic thyroid cancers now has localized squamous cell esophageal cancer — Dr Brenner (1:11:56)
o Faculty presentation: Dr Wainberg (1:17:49)
