During a Case-Based Roundtable® event, David Zhen, MD, discussed how treatment of upper gastrointestinal cancer with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy is impacted by PD-L1 composite positive score, in the second article of a 2-part series.

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

Rivoceranib did not produce a statistically significant improvement in overall survival vs placebo, according to findings from the phase 3 ANGEL trial in gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer.

In season 2, episode 2 of Targeted Talks, Cathy Eng, MD, speaks with Benjamin Weinberg, MD, about the gut microbiome, and how the presence of certain microbiota impact the onset and intensity of disease as well as the potential response to certain treatments.

There is currently 1 FDA-approved antibody-drug conjugate available for patients with non-small cell lung cancer, and several more potentially coming down the pike.
