Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center – New Hope for People with Stomach and Esophagus Cancer
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center posted on X:
“New research from ASCO: A clinical trial led by Yelena Janjigian, Chief of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology at MSK, has demonstrated a powerful new approach to help prevent cancer from coming back after treatment for stomach cancer and cancer of the lower portion of the esophagus and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ).
“For gastroesophageal cancer patients to go through surgery and chemo, it’s devastating to have a recurrence of the cancer,” says Dr. Janjigian. “This trial shows that adding immunotherapy to chemo before and after surgery can dramatically improve the chance that cancer won’t return.”
Learn more about how these results offer new hope to people facing this diagnosis, which is the fifth most common cancer worldwide.”
