Harnessing the power of the gut microbiome in colorectal cancer
Lessons learned about the importance of the gut microbiome composition in immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy response could be crucial in tailoring cancer care
Liver transplantation plus chemotherapy prolongs survival in patients with definitively unresectable colorectal liver metastases
In the TRANSMET trial, a 5-year overall survival benefit was observed in a highly selected patient population
No significant survival benefits reported for perioperative chemoimmunotherapy in resectable G/GEJ cancers
Final results of the KEYNOTE-585 study indicate that the current treatment standard for resectable G/GEJ should remain unchanged
Overcoming barriers to immunotherapy for microsatellite stable colorectal cancer
Recent data indicate a role of immunotherapy for tumours with high levels of microsatellite instability, especially in the neoadjuvant setting
Blood-based tests show promise in improving hepatocellular carcinoma management
Innovative approaches are investigated to predict cancer development in patients with cirrhosis and detect early recurrence after resection
Why are gastrointestinal cancer patients getting younger?
Research is moving forward to adapt clinical practice to a new wave of early-onset cases of cancer in the digestive tract
A phase I study shows a promising strategy to overcome resistance to immunotherapy in cancer
Safety and efficacy data of a PD-1/IL-2 bispecific antibody fusion protein were presented at an ESMO Virtual Plenary
Locally advanced gastrointestinal cancers: moving forward in the neoadjuvant setting
Recent results from research have changed the treatment paradigm for some digestive tumours, but further evidence is needed to finetune the neoadjuvant approach
Extending the continuum of care for metastatic colorectal cancer
While novel agents continue to enrich the therapeutic armamentarium in this setting, patients ask for a longer survival, but also for a better quality of life
Treating colorectal cancer in the biomarker era – what's next?
In an interview, Prof. Julien Taieb comments on the major advances from colorectal cancer research which are driving the development of molecular-based therapies
