📚 Esophageal cancer: where are we now? 🔹 Histology-driven treatment 🔹 Biomarker-guided therapy • PD-L1 • HER2 • CLDN18.2 • MSI 🔹 Multidisciplinary management 🔹 Personalized care pathways 🎯 Better patient selection, better outcomes. 🔗 doi.org/10.1200/OP-26-00198 @OncoAlert

RTOG 0848: neg overall, but benefit in pN0 (adj chemoRT improved OS 5yr 48% v 29%). Caveats: small N0 subgroup (N=91), gem chemo, pre neoadj era. My main takeaway: RT has role in (select) resectable PDAC & future trials need to focus on biologically favorable subset. @OncoAlert

What did ASCO 2026 change? Some standards of care have now moved by years. That almost never happens. BRAF colorectal, pancreatic KRAS, and DDLPS sarcoma are three of oncology's hardest diseases SOC moved by > 1yr: ▫️BRAF mCRC: 15.1 → 30.3 months OS ▪️Pancreatic KRAS: 6.7 → 13.2 months OS 🏆 ▪️DDLPS sarcoma: 1.5 → 9.7 months PFS ⭐️ (sarcoma went from "nothing" to a win). Myeloma, GIST, HR /HER2- breast, uveal melanoma, bladder, prostate, and RET lung cancer moved too. This is what decades of funded science look like when it compounds. - - - - - Source: Jori (@jori_health) 𝘗𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘦𝘳-𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬 𝘺𝘰𝘶 <3 - - - - -

🧬 TRIPLETE OS debate 📩 Comment: OS advantage be driven by more frequent anti-EGFR reinduction after PD? 📩 Reply: Reinduction may play a role, but OS differences persisted even after excluding these pts. 🎯 The true reason for the late OS benefit remains unresolved. 🔗 doi.org/10.1200/JCO-26-00227 🔗 doi.org/10.1200/JCO-26-00870 @OncoAlert

GI Oncology Digest - June 9, 2026 🧬 2 Nat Med papers: • ALTAIR (Nat Med Phase 3) — first MRD-guided post-adjuvant CRC trial reads NEGATIVE. ctDNA found the right patients; FTD/TPI was the wrong drug. • SYNCHRONIZE-MASLD (Nat Med Phase 3) - survodutide drops 84% of obese MASLD patients to ≥30% less liver fat. The HCC-prevention curve bends. A thread 🧵👇 #GIOnc #CRC #MASLD #ctDNA
