Science behind the Study:

#GastricCancer is a common and often lethal cancer that, like cervical and liver cancer, can be attributed in large part to an infectious cause.

Full editorial on gastric cancer risk available here: nej.md/3JQQY4v 1/15
In the case of gastric cancer, the infectious agent is a bacterium, Helicobacter pylori. Until now, hereditary forms of gastric cancer were thought to be limited to a small percentage of CDH1-mutant cases. 2/15 Helicobacter pylori A spiral-shaped, flagellated, gram neg
In this week’s issue of NEJM, Usui et al. provide compelling evidence for a substantial contribution from inherited (germline) variants in nine cancer genes to the risk of gastric cancer. Read the study here: nej.md/40Br5MC 3/15

🎬Starting out with an overall poll Q

When a new advanced GC/GEJ patient presents to your clinic, your institution reflexively tests for which of the following?
@TumorBoardTues 2/15 #TumorBoardTuesday

68y/o with poorly diff gastric cardia adeno, diffuse LAD, +peritoneal mets.

🧬Biomarkers HER2-, PD-L1-, MSS
🧪Pre-screened for trials & FGFR2b-, Claudin18.2+
🔦Enrolls in frontline SPOTLIGHT trial.

❓What is Claudin18.2?
❓What is SPOTLIGHT?
@TumorBoardTues 3/15 #TumorBoardTuesday

✨Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2)✨

Transmembrane protein typically present in tight junctions of gastric mucosal cells, maintains barrier function of gastric mucosa, & prevents leakage of H+ in gastric acid through paracellular pathways.

Take🏠messages:
We discussed #GastricCancer & immunotherapy (IO)
✅dMMR/MSI quite common- 8-22% of non-metastatic cases
✅Chemo less effective in dMMR disease, particularly 5-FU
✅High pCR with upfront IO
✅ctDNA may be a key biomarker
