  • * A study involving 594 patients assessed various treatment regimens and found that those using FOLFOX with trastuzumab had a significantly longer median exposure to the drug and better overall survival rates compared to traditional ToGA regimens.
  • * Results indicated that patients with HER2 IHC 3+ tumors responded better to treatment, while FOLFOX-trastuzumab showed promising outcomes, especially for subtypes traditionally less responsive to trastuzumab, warranting further investigation. *

Background: Advanced esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is generally treated similarly to advanced gastroesophageal junction (GEJ-AC) and gastric (GAC) adenocarcinomas, although GAC clinical trials rarely include EAC. This work sought to compare clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of advanced EAC with those of GEJ-AC and GAC and examine prognostic factors.

Patients And Methods: Participants comprised patients with advanced EAC, intestinal GEJ-AC, and GAC treated with platin and fluoropyrimidine (plus trastuzumab when HER2 status was positive).
