The long road toward treatment personalisation for pancreatic and rectal cancers
The 2025 ESMO Awardee, Thierry Conroy, traces the major advances in the field while noting that several barriers to improving patient outcomes remain
Data supports the use of an electric-based therapy combined to standard treatment in locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma
Quality of life and pain management data adds to efficacy results of combining TTFields with gemcitabine and nab-paclitaxel as a potential new option of care
ctDNA testing may help refine surveillance strategy for colorectal cancer
Study findings show that ctDNA is a stronger biomarker than carcinoembryonic antigen to select patients who may benefit from metastasis-directed therapy
Prolonged intertreatment interval improves outcomes to EGFR rechallenge in metastatic colorectal cancer
Randomised trials and real-world data propel the anti-EGFR rechallenge approach towards standard of care, but more solid evidence is needed
ctDNA and RNA-based tests are expanding colorectal cancer screening options
The availability of simpler, less-invasive methodologies may help to encourage participation in secondary prevention programmes
Decoding genomic and transcriptomic signatures in colorectal cancer – next steps?
Newer technologies build on current knowledge to provide greater insights in the molecular landscape
AI-driven tool shows to improve risk stratification in colorectal cancer
A system integrating computer tomography scans and pathological markers offers promise to personalise adjuvant therapy
Study findings support a growing shift towards “personalised de-escalation” treatment strategies in anal and rectal cancer care
Reduced-dose chemoradiotherapy and non-surgical strategies show promising outcomes with fewer long-term side-effects in lower gastrointestinal cancers
Targeting claudins in pancreatic adenocarcinoma is promising, early-phase findings suggest
Study confirms favourable safety profiles and encouraging efficacy of an anti-claudin 18.2 antibody-drug conjugate
Promising antitumour activity presented for emerging targets in different solid tumours
Strategies to target MTAP deletion, KRAS G12D and ESR1 mutations, and CDK4 and CDK2 further expand the landscape of precision oncology
