Kohei Shitara: CLDN18.2 Expression and TME Remodeling in Gastric Cancer During Chemo-Immunotherapy

Kohei Shitara, Director of the Department of Gastrointestinal Oncology at National Cancer Center Hospital East, shared a post on X about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored published in Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer:

“Collaboration led by Jeeyun Lee: After 1 cycle chemo, 4/10 (40%) CLDN18.2+ tumors lost expression and 3/29 (10.3%) gained it.

CLDN18.2+ TMEs are immune-inflamed yet fibrotic (TGF-β/ECM+) supports serial testing and combo strategies.”

Title: Dynamic modulation of claudin18.2 expression and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment in gastric cancer during chemo-immunotherapy

Authors: Sung Hee Lim, Takeshi Kuwata, Minae An, Jung Yong Hong, Seung Tae Kim, Yuki Matsubara, Kohei Shitara, Jeeyun Lee
