Abstract
Purpose of review: This review highlights advances and recent changes in the treatment paradigm for advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma (GEJAC).
Recent findings: Chemotherapy remains the backbone of treatment for advanced EAC/GEJAC. New targets/agents include immunotherapy, HER-2, claudin18.2, and FGFR2b, with various mechanisms (CAR-T, bispecific mAB, ADCs) altering the treatment landscape against these targets. The approaches to these targets may act together, in sequence, and even synergistically to improve outcomes. Herein, we review the state of the field, including highlighting ongoing clinical trials and additional emerging agents and approaches.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published clinical findings in the field of oncology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by cancer.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as cancer prevention, leukemia, melanoma, neuro-oncology, and palliative medicine. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
