    Abstract This review explores the dynamic landscape of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment, emphasizing on recent developments across various stages and therapeutic approaches. Although curative strategies such as hepatectomy and thermal ablation are standard for early-stage cases, high relapse rates drive investigations into adjuvant and perioperative treatment. Adjuvant therapies face hurdles, but noteworthy advances include IMbrave050 setting a new standard with atezolizumab/bevacizumab. Locoregional treatments gain significance, especially for multifocal HCC, with the integration of innovative combinations with systemic therapies, showing improved outcomes. In the advanced setting, the evolution from sorafenib as the primary first-line option to new standards, such as atezolizumab/bevacizumab and tremelimumab/durvalumab, to other emerging therapies such as tislelizumab and pembrolizumab with lenvatinib, is explored. Additionally, second-line treatments and insights into the interplay between immunotherapies and antiangiogenic agents, as well as novel combination strategies that add complexity to treatment decisions, are discussed.

    Abstract Stomach cancer is an aggressive disease and represents a global health problem. The majority of patients with localised disease present with locally advanced cancer that requires multimodality treatment. Chemoradiotherapy delivered after D2 gastrectomy has been evaluated in a number of clinical studies and best evidence, thus far, does not support its use in the post-operative setting. Data from currently recruiting and ongoing trials with exploratory translational endpoints are eagerly awaited to direct the use of chemoradiotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting. Radiotherapy can be effective in the palliation of symptoms associated with advanced gastric cancer. Furthermore, Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy has the potential to provide long term disease control in a proportion of gastric cancer patients with oligometastatic liver disease.

    Abstract Introduction: HER2 positive gastric cancer is a distinct subgroup overexpressing the HER2 receptor. For a decade, first-line Trastuzumab was the only licensed HER2-directed therapy for HER2 positive advanced gastric cancer following results from the ToGA trial in 2010 demonstrating a survival benefit when added to chemotherapy. Within the last year, significant advances have taken place in the field of HER2-directed gastric cancer therapy.
    Areas covered: This review discusses pivotal clinical trial results and summarizes current clinical trials of HER2-directed therapy in gastric cancer. Evidence for HER2-directed antibodies, immunotherapy, immune stimulating antibody conjugates, antibody-drug conjugates (including DESTINY trial results), and tyrosine kinase inhibitors are placed into clinical context. Key challenges including resistance mechanisms and drug toxicities are outlined. Search terms 'HER2' and 'gastric cancer' were entered into ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, and Google. Only English-language studies were included.
    Expert opinion: Clinical management of HER2 positive gastric cancer patients is likely to change significantly over the next 5 years. Checkpoint inhibition is likely to be used alongside HER2-directed therapy and chemotherapy first-line in advanced disease. Trastuzumab deruxtecan is likely to be offered second-line and beyond. The sheer number of clinical trials of HER2-directed therapy in gastric cancer are testament to progress and potential.

    Abstract Objectives: The role of needle core renal biopsy in large renal masses, defined as lesions larger than 4 cm, is debatable, as larger renal masses are associated with malignant histology. We aim to review the safety and impact of renal biopsy on the management of large renal masses.
    Methods: A retrospective, single-center review of all renal biopsies performed between January 2011 and December 2020 at Royal Perth Hospital was conducted. Indications for biopsy, complications and final management plans were correlated to assess the value of biopsies in large renal masses.
    Results: In total, 126 biopsies were performed. Indeterminate imaging findings and comorbidities were the main indications for biopsies. We identified 116 (92.1%) diagnostic biopsies and 10 (8.0%) non-diagnostic biopsies due to insufficient samples or inflammatory tissue. Of the diagnostic biopsies, 99 (78.6%) were malignant and 17 (13.5%) were benign. Unnecessary extirpative surgery was avoided in 17 patients. Histology included renal cell carcinoma (96%) and other malignancies such as urothelial carcinoma (3%) and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (1%). Benign biopsies identified histology including angiomyolipoma (35.3%) and oncocytoma (52.5%). The median follow-up time was 68 months (range 19-132 months).
    Conclusion: Renal biopsies in large renal masses may aid in preventing unnecessary surgery, especially in situations where imaging findings are equivocal or in patients with many comorbidities.

    Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are among the most deadly malignancies. Although serial incremental survival benefits have been made with cytotoxic chemotherapy with metastatic disease, a plateau of achievement has been reached. Applying modern integrative genomic technology, distinct molecular subgroups have been identified in GI cancers. This not only highlighted the heterogeneity in tumors of each primary anatomical site but also identified novel therapeutic targets in distinct molecular subgroups and might improve the yield of clinical success. Molecular characteristics of tumors and their interaction with the tumor microenvironment would further affect development of combination therapy, including immunotherapy. Currently, immune checkpoint blockade attracts the most intense research, and the successful integration of these novel agents in GI cancers in the treatment paradigm requires an in-depth understanding of the diverse immune environment of these cancers.
