Retifanlimab prolongs overall survival in advanced squamous cell anal cancer
Benefits were seen across most predefined subgroups investigated in the practice-changing POD1UM-303/InterAACT-2 study
Novel combination shows survival benefits in high-risk gastric/gastro-oesophageal junction cancer
Encouraging data were reported for SHR-1701 added to first-line CAPOX in a post-hoc analysis of patients with high-risk features from a Chinese study
First-line bemarituzumab improves short-term survival in gastric or gastroesophageal junction cancer overexpressing FGFR2b
Positive initial overall survival data were, however, attenuated and may not be clinically meaningful in a longer-term analysis

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
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
