Nonendoscopic Detection for Barrett Esophagus May Also Identify Esophageal Adenocarcinoma
Researchers reviewed the current status of and advances in the detection of Barrett esophagus and risks for esophageal adenocarcinoma.
Esophagus
Etrasimod Granted Orphan Drug Status for Eosinophilic Esophagitis
Etrasimod is an investigational, next generation, once-daily, oral, highly selective sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator.
Opdivo Approved as Adjuvant Treatment for Completely Resected Esophageal, GEJ Cancer
The approval was based on data from the phase 3 CheckMate-577 trial which included 794 adults with completely resected esophageal or GEJ cancer who had residual pathologic disease following neoadjuvant CRT.
Keytruda Combo Approved for First-Line Treatment of HER2-Positive Gastric Cancer
The accelerated approval was based on data from the KEYNOTE-811 study.
Radiofrequency Ablation with Endoscopic Resection Effective, Durable Treatment for Barrett Esophagus
Investigators examined short-term and long-term outcomes of patients treated for BE with dysplasia and/or early cancer, according to a uniform protocol.
Linked Color Imaging for the Detection of Polyps, Adenomas in Lynch Syndrome
Investigators compared the use of linked color imaging vs high-definition white light endoscopy for detection of polyps in patients with Lynch syndrome.
Adjuvant Nivolumab Improved DFS in Esophageal and GEJ Cancers
Residual pathologic disease often remains after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and resection in patients with esophageal or GEJ cancers, and these patients have a high risk of recurrence.
nCRT Followed by MIE Has Improved Long-Term Survival Compared With nCT and MIE for Locally Advanced ESCC
Researchers compared safety and long-term survival of nCRT followed by MIE vs nCT followed by MIE in patients with advanced ESCC.
Radiofrequency Ablation Modestly Reduces Low-Grade Dysplasia in Barrett Esophagus
Researchers aimed to confirm the results of two previous RCTs comparing the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation vs surveillance in patients with Barrett Oesophagus.
High Disinfection With Peracetic Acid May Reduce Risk of SARS-CoV-2 Spreading Following Endoscopy
Investigators examined the effectiveness of the PARP inhibitor olaparib in patients with pancreatic cancer with BRCAness.
