Mashup Score: 4Addition of First-Line Regorafenib to Nivolumab and Chemotherapy in Metastatic Esophageal Cancer - The ASCO Post - 7 month(s) ago
In a single-institution phase II study reported in The Lancet Oncology, Cytryn et al found that the combination of regorafenib, nivolumab, and FOLFOX (fluorouracil, leucovorin, and oxaliplatin) showed activity as a first-line treatment regimen for patients with HER2-negative metastatic esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. In the investigator-initiated trial, 39 patients enrolled between February 2021 and May 2022 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center received FOLFOX (fluorouracil at 400 mg/m² bolus

Mashup Score: 0Quality of Life With Nivolumab Plus Chemotherapy in Advanced Gastric/GEJ Cancer or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma - The ASCO Post - 7 month(s) ago
As reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Markus Moehler, MD, and colleagues found that in the phase III CheckMate 649 trial, the addition of nivolumab to chemotherapy was associated with generally better patient-reported health-related quality of life outcomes in patients with advanced non–HER2-positive (HER2-negative or unknown HER2 status) gastric/gastroesophageal junction cancer or esophageal adenocarcinoma. The trial supported the April 2021 approval of nivolumab in combination with fluoropyrim

Although underpowered and incomplete, Neo-AEGIS provides the largest comprehensive randomised dataset for patients with adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus and oesophagogastric junction treated with perioperative chemotherapy (predominantly the modified MAGIC regimen), and CROSS trimodality therapy, and reports similar 3-year survival and no major differences in operative and health-related quality of life outcomes. We suggest that these data support continued clinical equipoise.

PURPOSE There is limited evidence regarding the prognostic effects of pathological lymph node (LN) regression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy for esophageal adenocarcinoma, and a definition of LN response is lacking. This study aimed to evaluate how LN regression influences survival after surgery for esophageal adenocarcinoma. METHODS Multicenter cohort study of patients with esophageal adenocarcinoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection at five high-volume centers in the United Kingdom. LNs retrieved at esophagectomy were examined for chemotherapy response and given a LN regression score (LNRS)—LNRS 1, complete response; 2, <10% residual tumor; 3, 10%-50% residual tumor; 4, >50% residual tumor; and 5, no response. Survival analysis was performed using Cox regression adjusting for confounders including primary tumor regression. The discriminatory ability of different LN response classifications to predict survival was evaluated using Akaike information cr

Mashup Score: 0Association of Pathologic Lymph Node Regression After Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy With Outcomes in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma - The ASCO Post - 8 month(s) ago
In a UK study reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Moore et al found that increased pathologic lymph node regression after neoadjuvant chemotherapy was associated with better outcomes in esophageal adenocarcinoma. The study involved patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection at five high-volume UK centers between January 2000 and August 2020. 1 = complete response 2 = < 10% residual tumor 3 = 10% to 50% residual tumor 4 = > 50% residual tumor 5 = no response.
