    Abstract Gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) continues to be a prevalent worldwide malignancy and a leading cause of cancer death, and it is frequently cited as incurable. Targeted therapy in GAC has lagged behind other solid tumors. The human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) represented the single target in GACs for many years, seen in approximately 20% of patients with advanced GAC. Recent advances in management now include the addition of immunotherapy checkpoint inhibition to select front-line advanced GACs. Unfortunately, outcomes remain poor for most patients. We anticipate finding a key to future discoveries in GACs in next-generation sequencing and more targeted approaches. Claudin 18.2 (CLDN18.2) has emerged as a therapeutic target in GACs. CLDN18.2 is reportedly expressed in 14-87% of GACs, and CLDN18.2 is available for monoclonal antibody (mAb) binding as it is expressed on the outer cell membrane. Here, we review the exploration of CLDN18.2 as a target in GACs via the use of zolbetuximab (IMAB362). Zolbetuximab is now under priority FDA review for GACs, and we eagerly await the review outcome.

    Abstract Gastric adenocarcinomas are a significant cause of cancer and cancer death, globally. The curative approach for those with diagnosed localized disease is with surgical resection and an adjunctive approach of perioperative chemotherapy, postoperative adjuvant therapy, or postoperative chemoradiation. Unfortunately, a universal standard approach is lacking for adjunctive therapy which in part has limited the progress achieved in this area. Metastatic disease is common in the Western world at diagnosis. Metastatic disease is treated palliatively with systemic therapy. Targeted therapy has stalled in approvals in gastric adenocarcinomas. Recently, we have seen the exploration of promising targets along with the addition of immune checkpoint inhibitors in select patients. Here, we review recent advances seen in gastric adenocarcinomas.

    Abstract Introduction: Esophageal cancer (EC) represents a complicated heterogenous group of malignancies. ECs are divided broadly into two types, histologically: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Historically, EC study designs have used bucket type groupings (all subtypes and/or all gastroesophageal cancers) reducing contribution to developing precision oncology.
    Areas covered: Surgery remains the curative modality for resectable disease with reasonable patient physiology. Trimodality is recommended for localized ESCC. An exception is cervical EC. For EAC, preoperative chemoradiation or perioperative chemotherapy is utilized. For those who undergo trimodality, nivolumab is recommended as an adjuvant therapy for those with a non-pathological complete response (pCR). Additionally, immunotherapy and other targets have been added to advanced EC treatment.
    Expert opinion: Organ sparing approaches for localized tumors are starting to be investigated in many solid tumors and have been standard approaches for decades in certain tumors (i.e. certain head and neck tumors and anal SCCs). pCR differs between esophageal histologies with trimodality indicating potential of discriminating localized approaches. To determine if a watch and wait approach is feasible, prospectively correlating clinical complete response to pCR is needed, determining the best active surveillance strategy, and the best use of tools like liquid biopsies.
