We need to talk with our patients about financial toxicity and offer them available resources to help with financial burden.

🧬 MSI-H = hallmark of mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency. 🧵 Prevalence: ~30% endometrial, ~10% CRC, ~8% gastric. But not all MSI-H/dMMR tumors are alike: 1️⃣ MSH2/MSH6 loss → ↑ TMB, better ICI response 2️⃣ PTEN/AKT1 mutations → ICI resistance Checkpoint blockade is now 1L in CRC

💊 Can DFS be used as a surrogate for OS in early-stage pancreatic cancer trials? 📈 In a meta-analysis of 29 RCTs (n=6777), DFS strongly correlated with OS (R=0.70 adjuvant | R=0.90 neoadjuvant). 📍 DFS may be a reliable surrogate endpoint for OS. bmjoncology.bmj.com/content/bmjonc…

Presented at #ASCO25: In HER2-positive metastatic gastric cancer, trastuzumab deruxtecan led to longer survival and better response than ramucirumab–paclitaxel. Adverse events were common. Lung toxic effects with T-DXd were mainly low grade. Full DESTINY-Gastric04 trial:

#MATTERHORN trial was one of the best studies at #ASCO2025 - addition of durvalumab to SOC preoperatively FLOT was positive for EFS in gastric cancer pts. That study brings #hope and possible increased chances of #cure. Looking forward to seeing the survival data in the future
