Total Neoadjuvant Treatment for Esophageal Adenocarcinoma With Oligometastases: TNT‐OES‐1 Trial

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Total neoadjuvant therapy could combine the potentially strong systemic effect of FLOT chemotherapy with the good locoregional control of CROSS chemoradiotherapy. While total neoadjuvant therapy is increasingly used in rectal cancer, its potential in gastroesophageal cancer remains largely unexplored.

MET Expression in Upper Gastrointestinal Adenocarcinoma: Prevalence, Prognostic Impact, and Implications for Anti‐MET Antibody‐Drug Conjugate Therapy

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MET is an actionable receptor tyrosine kinase, and MET‐directed antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have recently entered clinical practice with FDA approval in non‐small cell lung cancer and are now being evaluated across gastrointestinal malignancies, with patient selection based on MET immunohistochemistry (IHC) 3+ membranous staining at ...

Sex‐Specific Proteomic Profiling Identifies Pregnancy Zone Protein as a Complement‐Linked Marker of Adverse Prognosis in Esophageal Adenocarcinoma

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) exhibits marked male predominance with male‐to‐female ratios reaching 8.5:1, yet the molecular basis underlying this sex disparity remains poorly characterized. We analyzed 92 EAC specimens using mass spectrometry–based proteomics, comprising 47 female and 45 male tumors from treatment‐naïve patients ...
