Purpose Of Review: This review addresses the current treatment paradigm and new advancements in the management of microsatellite instability-high/mismatch repair deficient (MSI-H/dMMR) esophagogastric cancer (EGC).

Recent Findings: While chemotherapy and surgery remain the cornerstone of EGC treatment, MSI-H/dMMR tumors harbor high tumor mutational burden and represent a subset of patients who benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). ICI has been incorporated in the front line setting with and without chemotherapy for advanced disease.

Background: Thoracic tumors characterized by a deficiency in SMARCA4 are highly aggressive and linked to a poor prognosis. This retrospective study explores the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in combination with chemotherapy for SMARCA4-deficient undifferentiated tumors (SMARCA4-dUT) and SMARCA4-deficient non-small cell lung cancer (SMARCA4-dNSCLC).

Methods: A cohort of 59 individuals was analyzed, including 35 patients with SMARCA4-dUT and 24 with SMARCA4-dNSCLC.

Background: Perioperative treatment of locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is attracting attention. The effect of neoadjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy on postoperative long-term outcomes in patients with driver gene mutations remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify the long-term survival outcomes of patients with stage III NSCLC harboring driver gene mutations who received preoperative TKI therapy.

Background: This network meta-analysis (NMA) aims to provide evidence-based guidance for selecting the second-line chemotherapy for biliary tract cancer (BTC).

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted on PubMed, Cochrane, and EMBASE through July 2024. Inclusion criteria involved: (1) patients underwent second-line chemotherapy following platinum-based first-line therapy, (2) intervention/comparator groups consisted of various chemotherapeutic agents, and (3) outcomes measured as hazard ratio (HR) of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies.
