Always a pleasure!! 🙌🏼
Really excited to share a podcast I recorded with @Kate_Baker_MD @geoffreybuckle for HER2-amplified gastroesophageal cancer! What makes it even more exciting is that a great new therapy mentioned in this podcast, tislelizumab + zanidatamab + chemotherapy, has now been approved by FDA as a first-line therapy. Given zanidatmab was shown to be superior to trastuzumab in this study, I'd use this new regimen for almost all 1L HER2-amplified advanced GEA. Thanks @_backtableONC @AaronFrittsMD @jgong15 for invitation. It was a fun weekend at San Diego! @DaniCastilloMD @Ahn_Daniel_Onc @IbrahimSahinMD1 #HERIZON

#1L therapies in #HER2-positive advanced #GEJ #gastric cancer is a rapidly evolving space. Great insight from @geoffreybuckle @ronanhsieh @Kate_Baker_MD on this latest @_backtableONC episode @AaronFrittsMD @DaniCastilloMD @_backtable @_backtableIND @BTWomensHealth @_backtableENT
HER2-positive gastroesophageal cancer has more first-line options than ever and very few head-to-head answers. 🧬 Dr. Geoffrey Buckle (@geoffreybuckle) and Dr. Ronan Hsieh (@ronanhsieh) join Dr. Kate Baker (@Kate_Baker_MD) on first-line choice, oligoprogression, HERIZON-GEA-01, rebiopsy and lung toxicity on trastuzumab deruxtecan.

These algorithms are incredibly helpful for unpacking best practices buried in manuscripts and institutional knowledge.

To add, one of my former @CedarsSinai post-docs, Dr. Muranaka, brilliantly reviewed in @Cancers_MDPI how Gln supplementation could be a viable alternative to the convention of Gln deprivation as an #anticancer strategy #metabolicintervention mdpi.com/2072-6694/16/5/1057 @OncoAlert

The hardest decision in localized upper GI cancer is not how to operate. It is what happens in the four months before the operation. Dr. Kate Baker (@Kate_Baker_MD) asks Dr. Dani Castillo (@DaniCastilloMD) and Dr. Alexandra Gangi (@AGangiMD) what they each need before a plan exists in esophageal, GEJ and gastric cancer, and where they still disagree. 📷 Watch the full episode on the BackTable App: backtable.com/shows/tumor-bo… #ONC85 #UpperGICancer #GastricCancer #EsophagealCancer #SurgicalOncology #MedOnc @cityofhope @CedarsSinai @TNOncology

Shifting from a default biopsy approach to a reflex test and MRI-first strategy could dramatically lower unnecessary procedures. Dr. Tarik Benidir (@TarikBenidir) and Dr. Ruchika Talwar (@RuchikaTalwarMD) explain how this new workflow streamlines care and improves outcomes for both clinicians and patients.
