Adjuvant immunotherapy in patients with resected GEJ cancer with high risk for recurrence

Great to see this published!

VESTIGE is a negative randomised trial with an important lesson..  

Give adjuvant FLOT even when there’s residual cancer after neoadjuvant chemo.  

Looking forward to the translational work.”
