Gastroesophageal Cancer Treatment: Practice Advances
The ESOPEC trial established perioperative FLOT as superior to CROSS-based chemoradiation for resectable esophageal adenocarcinoma in fit surgical candidates; NCCN guidelines now reflect this.
This review summarizes recent advances in the management of gastroesophageal cancers, emphasizing the shift toward perioperative FLOT chemotherapy over chemoradiation for resectable esophageal adenocarcinoma, the incorporation of HER2-targeted and claudin 18.2‑directed therapies in metastatic disease, and evolving biomarker‑driven strategies, including PD‑L1 testing in perioperative settings.
These developments refine standard‑of‑care decisions, improve patient selection for targeted and immune‑based treatments, and lay the groundwork for integrating emerging agents into routine practice.
